For the garden beds did you do those yourself too? That is the exact look we are after for our back yard. What sort of timber did you use for the garden beds? Thanks haywg For the edging I just used Treated pine decking from Bunnings. It's cheap too. (I also used it on the dark brown fence in the photos but it's stained). For the pickets I bought them pre-made from a local nusery soil supplier. They we about $10 got 25. I just scewed each end of the 3.6m pine paling with a picket and rubber malleted into the soil. Easy. The plants in the garden beds are Pittosporums. When we started building we bought 21 for $9.99 each (Chris and Marie) and they were about 40cm tall. About 8 months later here you go.
