Forest Avenue, Black Forest

Design & Construction by Desert Flower Landscaping

A curved Tumbled stone patio offers a cosy coffee spot that feels tucked within the garden. A Mallee Design bird bath thoughtfully positioned in the border amongst the planting, brings birdlife into the space while complementing the cosy coffee setting.

For natural screening and shade around the patio, the we incorporated a hardwood arbour feature by Nirvana Timber Co. Designed to support climbing frangipanis that will mature over time to soften the structure and weave fragrance and colour into the space.

At the heart of the garden, a resort-style pool by Rainwise Adelaide, offers a private retreat for relaxation and entertaining.

Framed by contemporary Beyond Stone paving and secure, seamless fencing, the pool area is softened by lush, tropical-inspired planting that enhances privacy and atmosphere.

A custom-designed storage shed integrates discreetly into the landscape, while a bespoke poolside shower adds both practicality and a refined finishing touch. We will also be returning to create another tailor-made storage shed and workshop, later in the year.

Planting provided by Heynes Wholesale has been carefully curated in layered compositions, combining native and climate-adapted species, to ensure year-round structure, texture and seasonal interest.

A considerate Allera lighting scheme has been integrated throughout the garden, to enhance ambiance, safety and atmosphere after dark.

Smart irrigation technology has been incorporated to deliver efficient, targeted watering throughout the garden.

This ensures long-term sustainability, reduced maintenance and a landscape that remains healthy and vibrant across changing conditions.
