DOVER HEIGHTS

Our client approached us with an overgrown and unstructured backyard that lacked functionality and flow. The brief was clear — a complete transformation to create a family-friendly space that could also serve as an inviting entertaining area. We reimagined the layout to introduce structure, usability and long-term practicality, while maintaining a natural and welcoming feel.
 

The existing garden was cleared and reshaped to create defined zones for lawn, entertaining and planting. Fresh turf was installed to provide a durable and child-friendly surface, complemented by clean edging lines to frame the new layout and create a sharp, structured finish. Mulching was applied across all garden beds to improve soil health, retain moisture and enhance the overall presentation.

 

A carefully selected planting palette was introduced to bring life and softness back into the space, while maintaining a low-maintenance approach suited to busy family living. A new irrigation system was installed to ensure consistent watering and long-term plant health through the warmer months.

 

The result is a cohesive, practical and rejuvenated outdoor area that feels spacious, functional and ready to be enjoyed year-round.
