POLISHED PERFECTION

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

 

 

 

The ingenious specialists of Kingfisher Landscaping created this slick garden, reminiscent of a London apartment garden.  This stylish home is enclosed by the ethereal garden, which harmonizes perfectly with the fashionable architectural style. 

Kingfisher Landscaping utilized the beautiful established oak tree as a prominent feature, around which the rest of the garden was arranged.  Our experienced team of landscapers constructed an unpretentious square concrete water feature, which enhances the overall tranquil mood of this exterior refuge and surrounded it with variegated abelias (abelia grandiflora).  Neat concrete screed slabs, which were cast on site, function as both neat pathways, as well as clean, linear rows, which comprise the hardscaping features in this garden design.  All of the cement features were finished in an aged concrete look. 

Lush beds of sweet-smelling lavender were planted to soften the yellow walls.  Dwarf eugenias (syzygium paniculatum) were planted in gabion plant cages to act as points of focal interest on the perimeter of the garden.  The professional landscaping team also planted dwarf buxus into square pots and common orange jasmines (murraya exotica), which bear white, perfumed flowers, in linear plant beds.  Topiaried Indian laurel fig trees (ficus nitida) were planted against the boundary wall to grow into a dense top-hedge. 

 A neat balau wooden deck, with an aged appearance, was constructed around the swimming pool by the Kingfisher Landscaping connoisseurs.  Finally, we planted all seasons evergreen instant lawn, which will flourish in the ample shade cast by the giant old oak tree.

The end result is a serene landscape in which the homeowners can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday city living.

Whether it is landscaping, installations of Koi ponds, water features, wooden decking, garden illumination, swimming pools, irrigation or the inclusion of mosaics in the garden – Kingfisher Landscaping will always define your exterior lifestyle in a stylish fashion.

Safari DesignEx 2009 – Al Fresco Gallery

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

The Al Fresco Gallery, designed by the innovative team at Badec Bros, invites you to take a closer look at the various textures and colours incorporated into the design.  At first glance, you are met by an exceptional water feature, comprising three brightly-coloured, steel Cubedec A pots, resting on mosaic plinths, inside an arc-shaped dam.  Inspiring slogans, consisting of steel laser cut outs, adorn the three pots.  Lush acorus curl green decorative grass envelops the water feature, with an imposing gabion feature wall forming a dramatic backdrop.

As you follow the charcoal-coloured concrete screed path through the alluring gap in the gabion wall, your senses will be pleasantly assaulted.  The exquisite colours and textures provided by the various materials are sure to get your heart racing.  The vibrant mosaic feature, nestled in a bed of luxuriant pennisetum setaceum rubrum ornamental grass, all of which is contained in a lusciously curved and raised planter, forms a strong focal point.  A pleasing feature wall, finished with a textured surface, creates a delightful background to this area.

Plump rock roses hug the contours of the pathway, with Permaloc aluminium edging neatly demarcating the inner curve.  The reverse side of the gabion feature wall is embellished with nine small steel décor hanging pots.  Towering liquid amber trees and a tempting teak Cubench on a specialized teak wooden deck adds a touch of cosiness and invites you to linger a little longer in this imaginative sanctuary.

The over-all design flows together effortlessly and once again proves that the specialists at Kingfisher Landscaping, Badec Bros Deco, Badec Bros Wooden Decking and Badec Bros Mosaic offer exceptional, artistic ideas to create the perfect exterior refuge to complement your home.
