This garden design in the Melbourne suburb of Aberfeldie, combines the best of both worlds, offering both play and rest zones to suit a family lifestyle. A large deck leading from the home, provides plenty of space for dining and lounging. On the lower level, an outdoor games room complete with bathroom amenities and a basketball court, were added to provide the ultimate play zone for kids. The outdoor firepit area, complete with feature stepping pads and overhead beams, provide a private, cosy spot to unwind. Framed with lush plantings to offer lots of colour and seasonal interest, this garden ticks the boxes!
