Portfolio: Maroubra Garden Design

, , ,

This is a coastal garden located at Maroubra beach which backs onto the park at the south end. It is the most spectacular location, just a stroll out the back gate to the beach. It is actually two residences with the boundary fence removed and the garden has been amalgamated into one.The garden is approximately 7 years old.

Thanks Kath, I got exactly what I wanted. You did an amazing job!!

It was also important to have a small kitchen garden, which has been located directly off the kitchen in a sheltered sun trap, this area holds some fruit trees and seasonal veggies in raised sleeper beds.
