Reclaiming the Sunshine: A Project by the Best Landscape Designers Hills Shire
SFA Landscape Design partnered with a client seeking to restore sunshine and functionality to her previously overgrown yard. Dense shade cast by towering trees made the space difficult to maintain and enjoy.
The Challenge: Addressing Overgrowth and Safety
The initial challenge involved tackling the pervasive shade created by overgrown trees. A wisteria vine, unfortunately causing allergic reactions for a family member, had to be completely removed. Additionally, several trees with branches dangerously close to the house posed a potential safety hazard during storms. We prioritized both aesthetics and safety by strategically pruning some trees, transplanting and carefully removing others. This allowed for increased sunlight exposure, creating a more welcoming and usable outdoor space.
The Solution: Choosing the Right Flora
With newfound sunlight, the previously struggling plants became another concern. Our landscape designers conducted a thorough assessment of the sun exposure variations across the yard. We then recommended a diverse selection of plants specifically suited for full sun, partial shade, and remaining shady areas. This thoughtful approach ensured a thriving and visually appealing garden, catering to the various light conditions throughout the space.
The Outcome: A Tailored Garden Retreat
Through careful planning and expert execution, The best landscape designers in Sydney from SFA Landscape Design transformed the yard into a space that perfectly reflected the client’s lifestyle and preferences. The removal of overgrown trees and strategic pruning allowed for increased sunlight, creating a brighter and more inviting environment. The carefully chosen plants, thriving in their designated sunny, shaded, or partially shaded areas, resulted in a beautiful and low-maintenance garden. This transformed space offered the client a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, perfectly tailored to her needs and personality.
