Tim Davies Landscaping

This Trigg residence explores a softened poolside environment where clean hardscape lines meet layered tropical planting, creating contrast without noise. Through early design resolution and 3D visualisation, each element is considered in context, from vertical screening and sculptural pots to the depth of planting that frames and defines each zone.

From alfresco dining to poolside lounging, the layout has been resolved to ensure movement feels intuitive and connected. By refining levels, materials and spatial relationships early, we’re able to align design intent with buildability, delivering a space that feels cohesive, functional and enduring.
A Perth garden that feels both grounded and transportive, where structure and softness work in quiet harmony.

For this Swanbourne courtyard project, the early renders explored how structure, planting and outdoor living could work together to transform a compact series of spaces into a layered and calming garden environment. Vertical greenery along the boundary walls was introduced to soften hard edges, while defined lawn areas and shaded patio spaces create a central place for everyday living outdoors. The design focused on building depth through planting, allowing the garden to feel immersive without overwhelming the courtyard scale.

As the project moved from concept to construction, the intention remained consistent. Climbing plants establish vertical texture along the walls, layered planting provides privacy and softness, and the lawn becomes a quiet open space framed by greenery and outdoor living zones. Over time, as the planting matures and fills in, the garden will continue to evolve, strengthening the sense of enclosure and calm that the original design envisioned. Landscape is never static. The real transformation happens as the garden grows, settles into its environment and becomes part of daily life.

The most memorable outdoor spaces rarely feel designed. They feel like they belong. Set within a semi-rural setting in Wandi, this landscape focuses on creating a pool courtyard that feels immersed within the surrounding bush environment while still functioning as a refined entertaining space.

The pool is positioned to capture long views across the lawn while maintaining a strong visual relationship with the garden beyond. Raised levels and subtle retaining establish structure, while layered planting softens edges and allows the landscape to feel lush and grounded. A pool house anchors the courtyard and provides a shaded retreat for gatherings, storage and everyday outdoor living. Around it, planting helps blend the architecture into the wider landscape, creating the sense that the outdoor spaces have always existed within the site.
Good landscape design does not compete with its setting. It strengthens the character of the place and makes outdoor living feel completely natural.
