We transformed this small backyard into a native haven for birds and bees. And for its owners!
Before
Before: A plain patch of lawn bordered by timber fencing. No real planting, no privacy, and the outdoor furniture sat in a space that felt more like a blank box than a garden.
After: We transformed this bare yard into a native leafy retreat.
Out went the lawn, and in came structured planting beds filled with lush shrubs, small trees, and groundcovers. A gravel path with stepping stones leads you through the space, breaking it up and inviting you to wander. Along the back fence, pleached trees create privacy and a green backdrop, while layered planting adds softness and texture.
The dining set was swapped for a modern outdoor lounge suite—suddenly the patio feels like a real extension of the home. The whole garden now balances function with atmosphere: green, private, and inviting.
The result?
A small, boxy backyard turned into a lush, structured garden oasis—private, calming, and designed for living.
