Creating an arbor without a roof is a clever way to define your outdoor entertaining space — without the extra cost or engineering of a full structure. 🌿 It takes a little patience for the climbing plants to grow and cast shade, but the result feels natural, relaxed, and perfectly in tune with the garden. If your property needs a makeover, it all starts with a PLAN. 🌿 DM me the word PLAN to get started. #GardenDesign #OutdoorLiving #ArborDesign #ClimbingPlants #LowMaintenanceGarden #diygardeni

Have old, cracked concrete? Don’t rip it up just yet. Instead of paying for demolition and removal, you might be able to pour a new layer right over the top. With the right prep and a quality contractor, the existing surface becomes a solid base for fresh concrete — giving you a clean, level finish without the cost or mess of starting from scratch. It doesn’t work in all situations but worth exploring if your budget is tight! If your property needs a makeover, it all starts with a PLAN. 🌿 DM me

I am a low maintenance girl in general, but I do think a few Westringia and Teucrium clipped into balls 2-3 times per year is worth the effort. I like the contrast it offers particularly with strappy ornamental grasses near by. Do you think it’s worth the effort? #gardenideas #gardening #homegarden #gardendesign #gardenplanning | Kathleen Murphy Landscape Design

Gardens evolve with us, I have loved and hated on this plant! Euphorbia wulfenii it was great when I had nothing in the garden- its self seeding helped fill huge gaps in the garden.

Weed matting is my pet hate, it doesn’t stop weeds growing it simply makes the soil beneath less nutritious do this instead. Mulch with either bark mulch 75mm thick or gravel or river pebbles. #gardenideas #sustainablegardening #homegarden | Kathleen Murphy Landscape Design
