Farm Cove Garden and Pool
This coastal garden took its tropical inferences from the house with its Balinese roof lines and large shaded outdoor areas. The client loved tropical plants, and the large palms which were already existing on site set the tone for the planting. The pool is typical of resort style pools with the Bale set in the middle of shallow play ponds and wide steps for lounging and seating. The unique weir spilling into the gravel trough creates an almost undivided line between the pool and the gardens. Colour and texture make up the low-level planting scheme. Clipped pink Iresine creates panels of colour in the plantings and is offset by the rich green carpets of star jasmine and the drama of the big bromeliads and cycads.

About the
Professional
Shafer Design Studio is a landscape architecture design studio with a team of passionate and collaborative designers producing high-quality landscapes. At Shafer Design Studio, we strive for innovation and imagination in all projects undertaken.
Simplicity, clarity and structure along with timeless design are features of Shafer Design Studio projects.
The team involve clients in the design process from the very beginning, being sensitive to their needs and the characteristics of the existing landscape and architecture. Rather than imposing our own style on a client’s garden, we prefer to act as tools, by which the clients can bring their own ideas to life.
Past clients have appreciated our open communication and willingness to create a design which is unique to their tastes and lifestyles. We prefer to keep away from fads and flashy design which can quickly date- instead we work towards simple, timeless gardens which will maintain their integrity for years to come.
“People who are involved in the process feel as if their gardens belong to them, and tend to enjoy them better.”
