Waterfall Dr Jerrabomberra - 2010 WINNER - MBA Awards - Residential Landscaping
This complex project in Jerrabomberra was constructed over a 5 month time frame. The swimming Pool was constructed by Mediterainian Pools and Spas, and throughout the entire process, the Landscape Contractor, Swimming Pool Contractor and the Client works together to achieve this stunning outdoor area.
The site was extremely difficult, compounded by an easement running through the center of the rear garden. Extensive use of retaining walls, timber steps and landings, provide a series of level areas that turn an otherwise unusable area, into this moden pool scape. Granite pavers and pool surround, stainless steel balustrading and frameless glass pool fencing are features of this garden, while extensive planting and a modest but proportional lawn area complete the picture.
Extensive lighting has also been utilized, ensuring the landscape looks just as stunning at night as it does through the day. This landscapes showcases what can be done on a difficult site, with imagination, technical ability and a customer focused can do attitude.

This project the heart of Canberra was designed by Melissa Kemp of TT Architecture and constructed in 2008.
An extension and Gazebo were constructed by Prostyle Building Group, while the water features and sandstone capped planter boxes were constructed by Exceptional Landscapes. The sandstone for the water features were pre cut to form the geometrical shapes and fixed to the walls using copper coloured dome bolts. The result is an elegant yet modern water feature that compliments this stunning residence.
The Front garden was constructed in 2009 and features sandstone paving, decorative urns, and extensive use of lawn areas and garden beds.
