Because there is such a wide range of styles to choose from when establishing a garden Visions Landscapes can help guide you in making the right choice to suit your home and your lifestyle.

GARDENS – FORMAL AND INFORMAL

Generally your first choice in planning a garden is whether you opt for a formal or informal garden style.

A formal garden can add a classical elegance to your home. It is usually geometric and symmetrical with neatly trimmed edges and often contains paths that lead to a key focal or hidden area where one can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Informal gardens on the other hand are often less elaborate and tend more to follow a more natural style and shape. The beauty of the garden comes from the combination or grouping of plants and flowers. Colours can either blend harmoniously or contrast to create bold, bright areas. Often informal gardens contain native plants to enhance that natural look and feel.

ROCK GARDENS

Rock gardens are a very popular choice in Australia as they lend themselves well to the landscape as well as our environment. Often simply called “Rockeries” they are an ideal choice for a slope or a split-level front or back yard.

Rocks, both large and small are carefully placed leaving gaps to place plants, flowers or shrubs. Rockeries are also an ideal place to grow and enjoy our native Australian plants.

NATIVE PLANTS

Australian native plants were not a very popular choice for Australian gardens in the past but these days they have grown in popularity.

Native plants are now considered a sensible and practical option as they are better suited to our harsh environment. Native trees, bushes and shrubs offer a delightful array of assorted colours in seasonal flowers and plants that are not only hardy but also help attract beautiful Australian birds.
