Beaconsfield Backyard Makeover Project

Our clients, Renee and Andy, were looking to transform their overgrown backyard into a beautiful space that they, their 2 kids and their dog Queenie could enjoy! They had previously had a design drafted by a landscape designer, and now needed a professional company to help them touch up and finalise the design and then bring their backyard makeover in Perth, to life. PLE handled the entire process of the Landscape Construction and Project Management, along with a full Reticulation system design and install.

Before the Backyard Landscape Makeover As you can see, their backyard landscape was in need of some TLC! It was simply too much for them to maintain, didn't provide a safe space for their kids to play in or grass for the dog to enjoy. They needed an overhaul - time for a full backyard landscape makeover with Perth Landscaping Experts!

g. the colour of the concrete, plant selection, and other finishes. Since the backyard landscape was totally changing, it required a full site prep, along with the removal of a few old trees and ( much more than) a few loads of dirt to reshape the site.

We were even able to relocate a mature frangipani tree they wanted to keep 2 metres to the left so it would suit the design. Our teams also constructed retaining walls out of recycled red brick at the back of the property and dug in new soak wells – as the previous drainage system was poor. Unfortunately for our poor guys, the soil was chock-full of limestone rocks which required an excavator, a rock breaker and some hard yakka to remove.

We also had to run new pipes for the drainage. This should have taken a day but took 3 because of all the caprock which needed breaking and excavating. You never truly know what’s under the surface until you start digging!

Phase 2 - Hardscaping and Reticulation Once the site prep was finished, we were ready for the pool to be dug and installed, then the gorgeous exposed aggregate concrete poured for the new driveway, pool and alfresco area. As happens sometimes, the pool company didn’t put the pool exactly where it was supposed to be on the plan, so we had to make some design adjustments on the fly so the end result would still be what the client wanted. It pays to be landscape designers as well as constructors!

The new concrete landscaping around the pool - exposed aggregate - ended up being the perfect choice, less slippery for the kids to safely run around on! In order to build the new terrace, we had to create a vertical exposed aggregate wall to act as a retaining wall – just a small extra challenge for the team!
