Tim Davies Landscaping

A planting palette designed to work from every angle, with each layer playing a role in shaping the overall landscape. This composition shows how feature planting isn’t just one standout element but a series of moments, from the overhead canopy of Vitis vinifera casting filtered light across the pergola, to the structural presence of Pyrus Ussuriensis anchoring the space beyond. Screening through Viburnum Odoratissimum establishes privacy and consistency, while Trachelospermum Jasminoides softens built elements and introduces seasonal fragrance.

At ground level, Leucophyta brownii and Pittosporum ‘Miss Muffet’ provide tonal contrast and sculptural form, with Lomandra ‘Lime Tuff’ reinforcing durability and movement along edges. Each element is considered, contributing to a landscape that feels balanced, functional and enjoyable from every viewpoint.

An autumn moment in the outdoor space of this Leederville home, where the design has settled in and is now part of everyday living. The original idea was simple, a defined pool courtyard with a floating shade structure, consistent planting and an open, uncluttered layout. Now built, the space responds to the season. Softer light moves across the paving, the canopy provides gentle shade, and the pool edge has become a quiet spot to sit, pause and unwind.

A well-considered part of the home where the design continues to feel right as the seasons change.
