1. Entryway Design:

Boost your curb appeal by prioritizing key entryway elements.

2. Terraced Planters for Texture: Use terraced planters to add depth and texture to your front yard, considering plant selections that withstand Canberra’s challenging conditions. Opt for low-maintenance, colorful plants suitable for the climate, such as Grevillea ‘Bronze Rambler’ and Lomandra ‘Tanika,’ creating an aesthetic appeal that endures. Achieve a harmonious landscape by incorporating plant types known for their resilience to Canberra’s temperature

3. Bold Bloomers for Impact:

Transform your yard into a welcoming oasis by introducing bold, vibrant plants that can withstand Canberra’s extreme weather.
Consider native options like Bottlebrush (Callistemon ‘Eureka’) for striking blooms and Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos ‘Bush Ranger’) for enduring color.

Opt for hardy varieties like Brachyscome multifida (Cut-leaf Daisy) with its pink, white, and purple flowers, ensuring a touch of color throughout the seasons.
