The Friendly Plant

da Silva

This area is the entrance to a home, leading from the driveway along the side of the house to the front door.

It is a long, narrow space that was originally paved with paving bricks and it had no planting, except for the large palm tree and Cycas at the end. This space had an out-of-date, drab look and was in dire need of a makeover!

We spiced things up by adding a sexy curve formed by a water stream and a cobblestone pathway.

The water feature at the top of the garden feeds the stream and can be seen from a large dining room window, making it a focal point and a great showpiece.

The planting is lush and green with pops of colourful flowers.
