A Modern Australian Garden for Outdoor Entertaining | Behind the Garden Gate

Come and explore this incredible modern Australian garden in Ivanhoe. It's a suburban family garden, designed for outdoor entertaining, complete with a pool, beautiful pool landscaping, a fire pit space, and a small lush lawn space.

This backyard is the perfect example of gardening in Australia for the whole family to enjoy - including teenagers! Designed by Paul Pritchard Landscapes, this garden uses clever garden design and different paving options to create different zones that define the space.

Whether you're lounging by the pool or gathering around the fire pit, every area feels connected while still offering its own unique vibe. The pool landscaping ties in with the rest of the garden, but also features the clever use of the narrow garden bed between the pool and fence. In this narrow garden bed the pool side plants include mandevilla vines that are being trained up wires to soften the dark fence.

This clever pool design and pool landscaping ideas connect the pool with the rest of the garden space, rather than making it stick out!

Raised veggie beds with corten steel edging add a functional yet stylish touch to one corner of the garden, while a mix of native and exotic plants throughout the garden brings year-round interest through varied foliage textures.

You'll also love the recycled brick seating & firepit area — hand-cleaned and repurposed from the original house renovation — which ties the whole garden together with their rustic charm. And let’s not forget the standout timber and copper pool fence, a beautiful contrast to the surrounding greenery.

This garden shows how thoughtful design can turn any space into the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. 📣 We’d love to hear your favourite features of this garden.
