3 Backyard Makeovers Adelaide Residents Achieve With Professional Landscape Design.

We’re all at home more often these days with our backyard the place we’re spending most of our time outdoors. Many Adelaide home owners are deciding to give their backyard a makeover making it a more pleasurable place to be.
When looking at back garden makeovers, you have the opportunity to include elements or features that enhance your lifestyle making it a great place to relax with the family or entertain friends.

The following 3 backyard makeovers Adelaide residents had completed through landscape designers Living Pictures By Tony Stanton show the transformation from before landscaping work started to the finished vision by following the landscape design hardscape construction and softscape plans drawn up by Tony.

It all starts with the dream discussed at the initial concept design meeting.
After discussion with clients, learning about the features they’d like to include, different areas required and the land size, a sketch and concept plan are drawn up.

Next part of the landscape design process is to produce scaled working drawings for the backyard design, much like what would happen with builders working on a house renovation.
The hardscape landscaping construction plans detail all the man made structures and work that needs to be undertaken and softscape plans show what and where trees, shrubs and other plants will be planted with their name and number recommended.

After revision, both plans are finalised to become the working drawings landscapers and often other trade professionals will follow.

The last step of the design process is to turn what’s been planned, into reality.

All backyard makeovers Adelaide home owners engage Living Pictures By Tony Stanton to bring to life are unique.
As landscape designers with more than 30 years experience creating back garden makeovers each landscape design starts with a concept design session to find out what the dream or vision each client wants to achieve.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a conventional sized back garden, as the clients from Gilberton (Above) had or small backyard as the clients from Glenelg had (Below), Tony can transform what you have into an outdoor living area that’s both functional and stunning to look at.

Everybody has budget restraints. Knowing what you’re happy to spend on the physical landscaping work required to complete the dream will help with what type of materials are used, the nature and size of elements selected and even what plants are selected. Many backyard makeovers Adelaide residents request have a number of different areas within the garden to plan for, as was the case with the clients from Hope Valley (Pictured Below).

Once the clients are happy with the concept for their vision, most request hardscape and softscape plans drawn up.

An undercover outdoor living area was included in this backyard design comprising a timber verandah with pavers, making a great place to sit and relax or eat dinner at the table with family and friends. A large lawn area was appreciated by the kids and of course the dog!
Bench seats made using hardwood were added along with attractive privacy screens. Wire mesh, soon to be covered with purple flowering climbers would also add privacy from neighbours and hide an old post and rail fence.
