Montmorency Family Backyard Landscaping

Project Details

This new family home in Montmorency required full front and backyard landscaping to get it ready for use.

From the front yard retaining wall and steps, down to the pool surrounds, outdoor living area and even a basketball court – we had our work cut out for us on a fairly steep block.

Some of the major landscaping steps included:

Excavating and preparing the site
Adding retaining walls along the front and side of the property
Concreting a half court basketball court and trampoline pad
Timber decking and granite paving around pool area
Low voltage garden lighting
Turf and irrigation installation
Fire pit area with mudstone steps and retaining rocks

As you can see in the photos, this major project turned an empty yard into a relaxing environment perfect for the kids to play in – and the parents to relax in.
