This Mount Lawley residence has been under our care for a number of years. In that time, it has matured into a lush, pillowy paradise. We recently had the opportunity to photograph this now mature garden after one of its maintenance services. Thick and verdant, this rustic landscape is a perfect compliment to its home. Softly shaped foliage in distinctive organic shapes make this garden a wonderful blend of formal style and homey comfort.
When this project was first designed & constructed by TDL, it was already a beautiful garden. The original construction was completed in early 2017 and included the mature transplant of several trees. The landscape was designed to compliment and enhance the existing pool & home structures. After years of maturation, this landscape has really settled into itself.
