Mosman Pool Garden
A harbour-facing rear garden built around an existing pool — replanted, regraded and bound together with a single material palette.
A harbour-facing rear garden built around an existing pool — replanted, regraded and bound together with a single material palette.
The existing pool was non-negotiable, the levels were awkward, and the harbour view to the north-east had been gradually lost to overgrown screen planting. The job was to repair the bones without rebuilding.
We regraded the lawn down to a gentle slope toward the view, replaced the pool surround with a single material running edge-to-edge, and removed two-thirds of the existing planting in favour of a tighter palette repeated across the garden. A new long planter on the pool's eastern edge gives the swimmer something to look at from the water and the family something to look at from the kitchen.
The planting carries through three seasons of interest, with a deliberately quiet midwinter so the architecture and view can take over.
We respond to new project enquiries within three working days. There is a short waitlist — we typically begin new design work eight to twelve weeks after the first conversation.
