Want your family to spend less time face-to-face with your screens, and more time soaking up each other’s company in the great outdoors? While a daily dip in the ocean or hike among the trees is the stuff suburban dreams are made of, we get it: you’re busy and important with people to see and emails to answer (or, er, Netflix to catch up on).

So, in the name of practicality, one of the first – and most powerful – steps to overhauling your lifestyle is to optimise the outdoor spaces within your home. Yep, the addition of a truly inviting, beautiful garden space effortlessly draws people outside – and, with the assistance of a professional landscape gardener in Perth, it is entirely possible to transform your home to seamlessly integrate your indoor and outdoor living spaces. Then? Before you know it, your morning cuppa, family lunches and all those in-between moments are taking place beneath a leafy canopy, no TV in sight.

Whether you’re dreaming of a lush green oasis, elegant poolside entertaining or a leafy family play space, the key to making such a powerful transformation lies in drawing on the expertise of landscape design and build professionals. Outsourcing your pool design and landscaping to an expert team who understand design elements is the best way to achieve a backyard, front yard or courtyard the complements the design of your existing home.

Experienced professionals can deliver a carefully curated palette of greenery and flora to work back with the design of your home, outdoor entertaining structures and pool, if you’re lucky enough to have one. The ultimate result? A cohesive look that allows your living spaces to flow effortlessly from indoors to out.

Already daydreaming of twilight BBQs on the grass, long Sunday lunches on your brand new deck, and pool parties to quench the summer heat? If you’re considering your landscape design and build, it’s worth keeping in mind that outsourcing to an expert team will ensure you achieve a garden that is both stunning and practical. For example, that tree might look pretty hanging over your pool, but if your family don’t have time to clear the leaves regularly, it may be better to choose an option more aligned to your lifestyle.

It’s also worth noting that when landscaping in Perth, it’s crucial to choose the right plants for the conditions (there’s no point adding delicate ferns only to have them wilt in the harsh WA summer sun, for example). Professionals in pool design and landscaping with the necessary creativity, experience, skills and knowledge are able to consider all elements, from proportions of space to climate and soil type, to deliver a stunning garden space that’s functional, and will stand the test of time.
