The pool from above.⁠ ⁠ Almost invisible pool fencing, pavilion finish pool deck, travertine piano key path, planted borders. From this angle you can see how the different elements of the pool zone relate to each other, how the levels step down and h

The lawn is establishing well.⁠ ⁠ Getting it there required careful earthworks and drainage.⁠ ⁠ That work is invisible now, which is exactly the point.⁠ ⁠ Landscape design @acre.landscape⁠ Build @saltvubuilders⁠ 📷 @janisalwayshashercamera
Hillview boulders, coastal planting, exposed aggregate driveway steps. The planting softens the hard elements above. ⁠ ⁠ This is what a steep site looks like when it is considered in the design.⁠ ⁠ Landscape design @acre.landscape⁠ Build @saltvubuild

The travertine stepper path leads through the garden toward the pool.⁠ ⁠ Set into gravel and softened with planting, the path shifts as you move through it.⁠ ⁠ Landscape design @acre.landscape⁠ Pool @alohapools_aus⁠ 📷 @janisalwayshashercamera
Pavilion finish concrete deck, travertine piano key path, glass fence between the deck and the house, custom steel pool fence disappearing into the planting beyond. ⁠ ⁠ Each element doing a different job in the same frame.⁠ ⁠ Design @acre.landscape⁠
Bluestone steps through the garden.⁠ ⁠ Placed to follow the natural fall of the site. The planting establishes around the stone and the steps start feeling like they have always been there.⁠ ⁠ That is what hard and soft landscaping does when they are
Bluestone steps track the fall of the land, each tread adjusted on site.⁠ ⁠ A rendered wall sits in front of the pool, giving the space structure and clarity.⁠ ⁠ Landscape design @acre.landscape⁠ Build @saltvubuilders⁠ 📷 @janisalwayshashercamera⁠
The driveway covers a significant change in level between the street and the house.⁠ ⁠ Exposed aggregate steps running alongside the drive. The same material as the drive, consistent finish across the whole entry. A detail that only works if the set-
