Australians are becoming very informative and conscious when they are looking for
landscaping and fencing in Tarneit services. They want designs that are not only modern and
go well with the overall design of their homes but also something fit for the unique Australian
climate.
Recent years have shown some erratic weather patterns, so before doing landscaping or
fencing, Australians like to be aware of how much of the design they choose is fit for the
weather of their place. This is why the following are some of the hottest trends in modern
fencing and landscaping in Australia in recent years.
Climate-proof landscaping
As said before, after facing some extreme weather conditions in recent years, Australians
everywhere are looking for landscape designs that suit the climate of the place. For example,
in areas where drought has become an issue, people are more inclined to use hardy plants and
trees that can grow with minimum water.
Other trends that support such landscaped gardens include rainwater harvesting, pebbled rain
gardens, swales and effective water management systems in the house. When using concrete
or pavers, people are looking for permeable ones so that rainwater can sip through and get
stored underground.
Reduced planting areas for easy maintenance
The landscaping done by professionals is easy and beautiful to look at but hard to maintain.
For those Australians who are very easy in life but want a landscaped front yard or backyard,
the best option is to follow the trend of having a reduced planting area so that the green parts
can be easily maintained.
A garden full of trees and plants will take a lot of time each day compared to an outdoor
space with timber decks, permanent garden furniture and mature feature trees that are low-
maintenance but give beautiful shades. People are also reducing lawn space or even getting
rid of it totally and instead paving the area with artificial grass. This makes the area look
green but doesn’t come with the hassles of maintaining a real grass lawn.
Gardens with water features
Another trend in landscaping in Truganina is a Japanese-inspired garden with the use of a
water feature in the garden area. This is especially perfect for those homes that don’t have
enough space for a pool or pond.
You can build statement water features that can be integrated into the fence itself to create a
very calming outdoor environment. By integrating it into the fence, the plumbing for the
water feature can be hidden.
