How to Make a Statement with Sustainable Landscape Design
Making a bold statement with your garden doesn’t have to mean using extravagant or wasteful materials. Dela Studios specializes in sustainable landscape designs that capture attention while remaining environmentally responsible.
Embrace Bold Hardscaping with Reclaimed Materials
Reclaimed timber, bricks, and stone can create striking features without the environmental impact of new materials. We often use reclaimed elements to build bespoke outdoor features, from retaining walls to artistic sculptures.
Positives:
Reclaimed materials have a unique, weathered aesthetic that adds character and history to your garden.
Using repurposed materials reduces waste and promotes a circular economy.
Bold hardscaping elements serve as focal points, drawing the eye and adding sophistication.
Create a Lush Oasis with Native Planting
Going all-in with native plants can turn your garden into a local showcase. Layering different heights and textures—such as tall native trees, mid-level shrubs, and low-growing ground covers—creates depth and draws attention to the beauty of Sydney’s native flora.
Positives:
Native planting is inherently sustainable, requiring less water and maintenance.
It supports local wildlife, creating a thriving mini-ecosystem in your garden.
A lush, green garden with native species can act as a tranquil escape from urban life.
Incorporate Water Features for Drama and Tranquility
Water features add both a visual and auditory element to your landscape, creating a sense of calm and luxury. At Dela Studios, we focus on installing sustainable water features like solar-powered fountains and natural-looking ponds.
Positives:
Solar-powered features reduce energy consumption while still creating visual impact.
Water elements can serve as a natural focal point, drawing attention to key areas of your garden.
The soothing sound of running water enhances the ambiance, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
