Leichhardt Complete Property Makeover
Comprehensive front and backyard transformation with modern features
This extensive Leichhardt property transformation demonstrates our holistic approach to outdoor design. The project encompassed both front and back yards, creating a cohesive outdoor living experience with premium synthetic turf for year-round greenery, a custom-built pergola for shade and structure, an integrated garden lighting system for evening enjoyment, and distinctive planter boxes constructed from composite materials and concrete sleepers.
The Challenge
Neglected Outdoor Spaces
Both the front and back yards were severely neglected with overgrown vegetation, damaged surfaces, and poor functionality for modern living.
Limited Usable Area
The property's layout presented challenges in creating distinct zones for relaxation and entertainment while maintaining easy access throughout.
Lack of Evening Functionality
The outdoor areas were effectively unusable after dark due to inadequate lighting, significantly limiting the property's potential.
Our Solution
Comprehensive Design Plan
We developed a cohesive design that addressed both front and back yards, creating a seamless flow between all outdoor spaces with consistent materials and styling.
Multi-functional Zones
Custom elements including a pergola and strategically placed planter boxes helped define separate areas for dining, lounging, and garden appreciation.
Integrated Lighting System
We installed a sophisticated garden lighting system to extend usability into the evening hours while highlighting key design features and improving security.
Before & After
Our Process
Our transformation of this Leichhardt property began with a comprehensive site assessment and client consultation to understand how the residents wanted to use both their front and back outdoor spaces.
After developing and finalising the design concept, we implemented the project in carefully planned stages:
Site Preparation
We began by clearing both the front and back yards, removing overgrown vegetation, debris, and damaged elements to create a clean canvas for the transformation.
Structural Elements
The custom pergola was constructed using high-quality timber that was properly treated and finished to withstand Sydney's weather conditions while providing a defined space for outdoor enjoyment.
Planter Box Construction
Custom planter boxes were built using a combination of composite materials and concrete sleepers, creating durable, low-maintenance structures that would provide years of use while complementing the overall design aesthetic.
Synthetic Turf Installation
We prepared the ground thoroughly before installing premium-grade synthetic turf, ensuring proper drainage and a level base for a natural-looking, low-maintenance lawn in both yards.
Lighting System
A comprehensive garden lighting system was installed with energy-efficient LED fixtures strategically placed to highlight architectural features, improve safety, and create ambience for evening enjoyment.
Planting & Finishing
The planter boxes were filled with premium soil mix and planted with a carefully selected variety of plants suited to their specific positions, adding colour and texture to the completed landscape.
Throughout the project, we maintained regular communication with our clients, providing progress updates and making adjustments as needed to ensure the finished spaces would perfectly match their lifestyle needs and aesthetic preferences.
The Outcome
The transformed Leichhardt property now presents a cohesive outdoor living experience across both front and back yards. The custom pergola creates a defined area for outdoor dining and entertainment, providing partial shade and architectural interest while serving as an extension of the home's living space. Premium synthetic turf delivers a lush, green surface that remains pristine year-round regardless of weather conditions, dramatically reducing maintenance requirements while providing a practical surface for family activities. The sophisticated garden lighting system has transformed the property's evening presence, extending the usability of the outdoor spaces well into the night while enhancing security and highlighting key design features. Custom planter boxes built from durable composite materials and concrete sleepers add structure and greenery throughout the property, with their modern design complementing both the home's architecture and the new landscape features. The comprehensive transformation has not only significantly enhanced the property's kerb appeal and value but has also created versatile, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that the owners can enjoy throughout the year for both relaxation and entertaining.
