This contemporary landscape project in Templestowe transforms a steep-sloped site through multi-level terracing, premium materials, and layered native plantings. Charcoal-rendered blockwork retaining walls create distinct terraced levels, managing significant elevation changes. Multi-level timber decking with integrated built-in bench seating maximises outdoor entertaining space. Steel pergola beams with timber batten screening provide privacy while awaiting wisteria vines to cascade over the structure, creating a stunning floral canopy.

Corten steel feature planters showcase cascading native groundcovers with purple and yellow flowers. Formal box hedging provides structure, complemented by silver-toned trailing plants and a feature Japanese maple with golden foliage. Layered plantings combine multiple heights and textures for year-round visual appeal with minimal maintenance.

Quartz stone crazy paving creates elegant circulation paths, complementing the contemporary palette of charcoal steel, corten planters, and natural timber. The design preserves existing mature trees while integrating new plantings that complement Templestowe’s bushland character.

This project demonstrates how professional landscape design transforms challenging steep Melbourne sites into functional outdoor sanctuaries, combining contemporary materials with sustainable native plantings.
