Rozelle Courtyard Transformation
Urban oasis with synthetic turf, custom bench seat, and modern pergola
This stunning Rozelle courtyard transformation converted a cramped, neglected outdoor space into a sophisticated urban oasis. The project features premium synthetic turf for low-maintenance greenery, a custom-built timber bench seat, elegant white planter boxes with established plants, stylish grey timber cladding on the rear fence, a polycarbonate-roofed pergola for weather protection, and beautifully oiled hardwood decking.
The Challenge
Dying Vertical Garden
The existing vertical garden had died and become an eyesore, with dried-out plants creating an unsightly backdrop to the outdoor space.
Rotting Deck and Debris
The old timber deck was deteriorating with broken planks and plywood patches, surrounded by construction debris and leaf litter.
No Weather Protection
The compact courtyard had no shelter from rain or intense sun, limiting its usability throughout the year.
Lack of Seating
The space had no built-in seating, forcing residents to use portable furniture that cluttered the already small area.
Our Solution
Premium Synthetic Turf
We installed high-quality synthetic turf edged with timber to create a lush, maintenance-free green space that stays beautiful year-round despite the shaded conditions.
Custom Timber Bench Seat
A bespoke hardwood bench seat was built along the back fence, providing ample seating without taking up floor space and adding architectural interest.
Modern Fence Cladding
The rear fence was clad with vertical grey timber slats, replacing the failed vertical garden and creating a sophisticated, contemporary backdrop.
Polycarbonate Pergola
A sleek charcoal-framed pergola with polycarbonate roofing was installed to provide all-weather protection while maintaining natural light.
