Landscaping - Part Two. The backyard

Here is a photo roundup of the rear yard landscaping.

Mop Top Robinia's

Deck not quite finished in these photos, more recent photos to be posted soon.

Deck has since been stained also.

Looking back at these it felt so finished at the time but now it feels so much more established, after only 3 months!

Eventually those stairs will be capped with the same tiles as the front portico will be tiled with.

Along the rear fence we have Eleocarpus (Blueberry Ash), with Chinese Star Jasmine in front that I will keep clipped into a groundcover. (The right in the above photo). Dircetly infront in the above photo are Gardenias. Along the boundary fence in the rear of the photo are Camelias & Gardenias in front of those

These Raphis Palms are outside out kitchen feature splashback window, with Murraya to the left and Camelias to the right.

Also on the same side of the house as the kitchen window, we chose to have small pebbles as it is rarely used or walked on.


So, there it is! After lots of mud, sweat and tears we have a garden, we are now a lot poorer but our lives are richer for it. Mr 3 is out there ALL the time and we absolutely love our garden. It finally felt like we were no longer living on a construction site once it was done!

I'll be back soon with updated photos I took today :)
