Really hoping a few places put stuff on sale viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Landscape Inspiration & Design Concepts 52Nov 22, 2015 8:53 am Part 2 of my pool and landscape design ideas. 1. Another nice pool idea. I gotta say the timber deck complements the pool very well. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-46-52-1.png 2. This 2 level pool and landscape looks very manicured. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-47-29-1.png 3. OMG, I love the sand and beach concept! All you need now is a reef. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-47-47-1.png 4. Another nice tiling around the pool http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-48-18-1.png 5. I love this wine cellar integration with the pool! http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-49-18-1.png 6. This landscape for the pool is awesome! The water features look cool and the hedges provide some privacy but makes the place look surreal. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-49-37-1.png 7. The pool integration with the house is spectacular http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-11-14-06-50-10-1.png Stay tuned for my next segment on water features for the garden. @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Landscape Inspiration & Design Concepts 54Nov 22, 2015 11:04 am Stewie D Nice photos. I wonder how much work that sandy beach would be though? Stewie Thanks Stewie! Sand shouldn't be too expensive sand is roughly $60/ton @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Landscape Inspiration & Design Concepts 55Nov 22, 2015 8:29 pm I meant from the maintenance side of things. Given the slope into the pool I'd imagine you would do a fair amount of retrieving sand from the bottom of the pool and placing it back on the beach. And if you had kids I'd say double that at least.

Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Landscape Inspiration & Design Concepts 57Feb 03, 2016 8:16 pm Hi all, just rebooting the thread for the new year and the first segment I'm doing for the new year is on water features. 1. I would love to get this one for our backyard. It a real headache turner. 2. This one is just as good and I don't know how they do it 3. This one is great with the wall sculpture. 4. This is seamlessly integrated with the landscape 5. A Simple one? 6. I really love to do this one for our front yard. @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Landscape Inspiration & Design Concepts 59Feb 09, 2016 7:50 am fizzed Love this thread - lots of great ideas! Can anyone recommend a landscaper - we need some retaining walls built initially and then some other works. We are in Ryde sydney Thanks! Hi fizzed, welcome to the thread. In my next segment I will be providing some suggestions on landscaping companies. Or maybe I will create another thread for landscape companies? @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Landscape Design Parramatta We have been doing a large amount of landscape design work in Sydney… 0 3 Need advice on the backyard plan above. Should I excavate and cut all of the dirt to level with the house slab or semi-excavate as per photo above? Both left and right… 0 24781 Thanks very much! And would the landscaper/contractor generally involve the engineer or is that something the client would do? Thanks for your help 2 9937 |
