4 Ways to Level up Your Landscaping

A big part of building a fantastic home (or holiday home) is creating serene outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed all year round. 

When a home is situated in such a picturesque location, like Panorama Portarlington, failing to harness the potential for incredible landscaping layouts is a missed opportunity.

To help you feel inspired for your coastal build, here are some ways you can level up your landscaping and outdoor spaces:

The ultimate alfresco experience

Adding both functionality and enjoyment, outdoor living spaces are a must-have for the modern home. Particularly in a coastal setting, having the freedom to wine, dine and relax outdoors elevates the living experience to new heights.

Whether it’s a small and cosy alfresco, or an expansive entertainment oasis, there’s a lot to be gained by adding an outdoor living space to your floorplan.

According to the experts at Pivot Homes: “Outdoor living spaces enhance a home’s versatility, value and appeal. Alfresco areas provide flexibility when entertaining, a place to retreat and room to play.”

Something simple and low-maintenance

Whether you’re planning on building a holiday home that won’t be occupied all year round, or you’re simply not a green thumb, a low-maintenance garden could be ideal.

The key to creating a low-maintenance garden is finding plants and materials that don’t require a lot of upkeep or tending to. Drought tolerant, hardy plants are perfect – and can be left to grow organically with minimal interference.

Instead of a grassy lawn that must be maintained frequently, consider synthetic turf, pebbles, pavers or other alternatives.

Make a splash

There’s no better way to create the ultimate coastal escape than with an outdoor pool and/or spa. What better way to wash the day away then melting into your very own backyard pool, while admiring the stunning seaside views? 

Whether you’re building a holiday home, or your dream home, add a little indulgence with a pool or spa.

Layer it up

Panorama Portarlington features elevated and sloping home sites, some offering stunning views and the opportunity for beautiful landscaping opportunities, with layered gardens or even a sunken spa. Tiered or layered landscaping allows you to make the most out of your garden space, maximise views and create beautiful outdoor focal points.
