Perhaps Boston Ivy

Hi try this site for designers http://www.aildm.com.au/content.cfm?id=876

You could try the native Elaeocarpus reticulatus"Prima Dona". I have a mature one growing outside my apartment and does an excellent job at screening. i love the dense compact foliage. Or try the Native Frangipani, Hymenosporum flavum.

I don't see any problem, either for growing plants or aesthetics. We have a rendered house and a colorbond fence (although it is the rear fence) and I certainly think it looks fine. In fact many of the new estates in our area require colorbond fencing as part of the estate rules and the majority of...

What sort of issue?? :? High Temperatures

What do people think of colorbond fences when used with a rendered house? Aesthetically disgusting IMO. Also cultivating plants near a colourbond fence can be an issue. If cost is a factor with a rendered wall consider a strong timber fence covered with climbers.

If you want ideas or inspiration on how to properly design lighting into gardens have look at the case studies by Melbourne company Light on Landscape. They provide advice and consultation to the Top Landscape Designers in Melbourne. Cheers Luke

Pebbles are a versatile material but I'd avoid using pebbles if you have children. Pebbles laid in situ creates visual interest on the ground plane, just have a look at some of Rick Eckersley gardens in Melbourne.

Could be a Soil PH issue. Azaleas require an acidic soil, so I would conduct a Soil Ph test. Cheers Luke

Who asked you to change the pebbles to soft landscaping? Council? Anyway try plants such as Native Viola needs shade though, mondo part shade, Festuca, Brachyscome. Cheers Luke

Hi Deeps The most important aspect when designing a residential garden is to integrate the outdoor space with the architecture of the facade. Also the site and the area you live in will have an influence on your design. Your house does not look like it has a strong style therefore look at the partic...

Hi all, After many years of having empty blocks either side we now have a new neighbour building next door. Unfortunately their alfresco and living areas look straight into our living areas. ::frown:: We are looking at building a screen (20 mtrs long x 2.4 mtrs high) to run down our side fence, it ...

Looks like citrus psyllid.

Hi, we have a 150sqm yard around our new house (Brisbane) which has been filled with a nasty mixture of small rocks and clay (as seen in the photo below), and after trawling through all the excellent info on this site I now know we need to greatly improve the soil before laying turf! I’m hoping som...
