Branksome is a landscaping project completed by Tim Davies Landscaping. It is located in Osborne Park, a suburb of Perth, Australia. The clients, who looked to Tim Davies Landscaping (TDL) to design and build their dream landscape, wanted mature garden spaces — something that would create an instant impact and soften the clean-lined, minimalist architecture of the house and the large outdoor areas surrounding it.
Sourcing mature trees and various other plants was critical to give the gardens an established feel, right from the outset. This process relied on clear and constant communication with the clients to ensure the right plants were used in the right spaces. Given the property’s proximity to the coast, it wasn’t just looks that mattered. It was equally important that the plants were well suited to the sometimes punishing conditions. The advanced planting palette incorporates mature olive trees, which tie the property’s front elevation and side passageway to its coastal setting, established star jasmine creepers alongside the swimming pool in the rear garden and the spectacular mature poinciana tree in the home’s central courtyard.
