This Glen Iris residential landscape was designed by Jen Martin Landscape Architect and constructed by ID Landscaping in 2025, with heritage overlays carefully informing the overall design language and material selection. The result is a refined, context-responsive garden that sits comfortably within its established streetscape while delivering contemporary outdoor living spaces.

​

A key feature of the project is the use of Sierra Taupe limestone paving across the outdoor entertaining area and pool surrounds, providing a soft, elegant surface that complements the home’s architecture. Limestone steppers were used to connect spaces through the lawn, creating clear circulation while maintaining a sense of openness and continuity across the garden.

​

The driveway was detailed with a bluestone cobble edge, paired with an exposed aggregate surface (Burrindi mix from Mentone Mini Mix), offering both durability and a subtle textural contrast. These hardscape elements provide a strong, timeless foundation while responding to the heritage considerations of the site.

​

Garden beds and lawn areas were carefully integrated throughout the property, planted with a considered mix of native and ornamental species that reflect both the garden’s refined aesthetic and the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The completed landscape balances structure and softness, delivering a cohesive, functional and enduring outdoor environment.
