This landscape project in Eltham transforms a steep sloped site through multi-level terracing with contemporary materials and native plantings.

Custom corten steel retaining walls with integrated quartz stone steps create seamless level transitions. The weathered rust patina provides striking contrast while requiring minimal maintenance in Melbourne’s climate. Silver-toned trailing groundcovers cascade over walls, complemented by ornamental grasses, purple flowering salvias, and formal box hedging.

A natural stone fire pit area with boulder seating anchors the lower terrace. Multi-stemmed feature trees preserve bushland character while contemporary timber screening ensures privacy. The design integrates existing mature eucalyptus trees with drought-tolerant native plantings supporting local biodiversity.

This Eltham project demonstrates how professional landscape design transforms challenging steep sites into functional outdoor sanctuaries using premium materials, thoughtful terracing, and sustainable native plantings.
