Leeming Project

Before the Project As you can see, their backyard 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!

Breaking Ground Everything had to go! All that old brick was removed, the site was prepped and leveled while keeping true to the original layout. The old fencing around the pool was removed, ready for a more modern look, and the old brick retaining wall around the pool was replaced by corten steel - rusted to perfection.

We built up the sides of the house to create stepped garden beds, the side fence was removed and replaced with a new and modern colourbond fence. In short, out with the old and in with the new! Limestone retaining walls, fresh new poured concrete to replace the old brick, and create an overall modern look for the pool, alfresco and entertaining area.

New raised wooden garden beds were custom built to create an easy-care vegetable garden for the client. Low maintenance garden beds were planted around the pool area which will be easy to maintain, and have non-invasive root systems which will not impact the pool in the long term. Finishing Touches Gravel edging around the pool and pathways allow for easy drainage and run-off to keep areas clean and dry, while the use of succulants, natives and low-maintenance planting will make sure things stay beautiful without lots of hard work for the client.

Great landscaping and smart landscape design is in the details. Featured Photos This landscape project was completed in time for summer so the clients - and their kids! - are thrilled.

Now they have a modern outdoor space which is perfect for their lifestyle, easy to look after and constructed to be an asset to their home for the long term. "My husband suffering a severe stroke at only 45 years in October, was the catalyst for us reaching out to Tibo, being keen to make quick improvements to the functionality and safety of our backyard and driveway. Tibo and his whole team were a delight to deal with.

They worked alongside and assisted contractors they’d never met before who were completing other internal work, went above and beyond and were flexible and adaptable when the inevitable challenges of an old house sitting on limestone rock was destined to bring. We now have a useable, safe and beautiful space and look forward to watching our WA Indigenous species grow over the years to come.
