We recently built our first home, our backyard was a completely bare landscape. My husband and I love to do DIY projects in our spare time. I create the ideas, he does the heavy lifting and building the structures, then I come in and add the plants and aesthetically pleasing touches.
We have a small backyard in a new housing estate so there is little room for anything too extravagant. We have turned this blank landscape into our beautiful Tuscan inspired garden oasis. The look was completed with many Bunnings products and plants. This project has taken us approx. 10 months to complete in small stages (as we both work) we have put our weekends into our project.
We have extended the deck off our alfresco, added sandstone garden beds and paths, created a fire-pit area with merbau pew seating, built an rose arbour and hung festoon solar lights to create the magical effect at night.
We spend a lot of time out here with our two dogs and the place feels truly magical.
Some before, progress and after photos are attached.
