Hunters Hill Backyard Renovation
Backyard Renovation with Timber Retaining Wall and Seating
A custom-built hardwood timber retaining wall provides structure and definition to the garden, offering strength and durability that will last for years. To make the space more practical, we transformed the edge of a raised garden bed into built-in seating by capping it with hardwood timber boards. This dual-purpose feature acts as both a retaining edge and a comfortable timber bench seat, offering the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors whilst keeping an eye on the kids playing.
Backyard Renovation with Artificial Turf and Garden Paths
Artificial turf was installed to create a lush, green lawn that requires little upkeep. It’s soft underfoot, safe for children, and an ideal play surface for toys and outdoor activities. Unlike natural grass, the turf stays neat and vibrant year-round, making it an excellent choice for busy families.
To tie the space together, paved steppers surrounded by decorative pebbles were added to form garden paths. These pathways improve movement around the yard while adding texture, drainage, and a stylish design element that complements the timber and lawn areas.
A Practical, Family-Friendly Outdoor Space
This backyard renovation balances durability with comfort. The artificial turf creates a reliable play area, the hardwood timber seating provides a place for relaxation, and the paved garden paths ensure easy flow throughout the yard drawing people to the pool at the back of the property. The result is a modern outdoor space that looks beautiful, is easy to maintain and works well for everyday family living.
