About this Project

Bellfield

Bellfield features a predominantly native planted garden, designed to create a lush space that is low maintenance, perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.

The deck, crafted from sustainably sourced silvertop ash from Gippsland plantations, is complemented by Australian bluestone steppers. Bordering the decking, Correa alba and Poas provide a natural transition, while acacia limelight extends the native theme throughout the lawn area. Beneath the canopy of acacias and olive, an understorey of blue fescue and Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ creates different blue and grey textures. Flowering plants such as Hardenbergia, Pandorea, Acacia binervia, and Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ ensure there’s something in flower in every season.


Every season unveils a new tapestry of colour and texture.
