<strong>Style</strong> | Landscaping 43 Some landscaping projects are a slow-burn; a steady build-up of anticipation, if you will. And this was certainly the case for this Fendalton property. Nestled by the Avon River, with Mona Vale a glimpse away, this project by Goom Landscapes was started in 2014 as an earthquake rebuild. “It was one step after the other; insurance, consents, clearance, site preparation, and because it was by the river, it needed ground remedial work. Once we dealt with these aspects , we were finally able to start construction,” says Goom Landscapes senior landscape architect Jessica Staples. But it was also a “sentimental” project, she says, because Goom had done the pre-earthquake design and build for their long-standing clients as well. The new home was almost “art gallery-like”, says Jessica, who directed the landscaping. “It was very clean and white all the way through, quite tall ceilings. The landscaping had to flow from this. It was designed to be formal with linear crisped edging, but then we included flitches [wooden pavers] to loosen it up a bit, providing a contrast to offset the square, linear architecture. “We also introduced the curved edges to further soften things, and it complemented the architecture really well, otherwise it would have felt a lot harsher,” she says. The curved edges were a bespoke feature and required some crafty thinking from the team. “It was quite a new thing for us to figure out; it took a bit of thinking, playing around in our yard to get the curves all figured out. We had done honed edges before for work surfaces and benches, but not so much in a paved situation,” Jessica says. While it took time and patience, this is proof some things are worth waiting for. What emerged is a decadent place of relaxation, nestled by the quiet waters of the Avon. With a mixture of old and new plantings, the cacophony of colours quietly complements the house design. The use of elegant honed surfaces and edging, leading to the architecturally designed barbecue area and down into the jetty area that remained from Goom’s original pre-earthquake design, has not only created a stunning feature but a place in which a family can revel in the summer days.
