This Forresters Beach project centred on reshaping a challenging level change into a highly usable and visually striking garden. Large sandstone block retaining walls were carefully integrated into the site to establish multiple tiers, allowing the landscape to step naturally through the property. Custom sandstone stairs connect each level, creating a seamless flow between outdoor zones while introducing a strong sense of long-term durability and craftsmanship. The result is a garden that feels anchored to its setting, with the sandstone echoing the colours and textures of the surrounding coastal environment.

At the base of the terraces, a covered entertaining area is framed by substantial sandstone seating walls and softened by layers of low-maintenance planting. Structured lawns, integrated raised garden beds and carefully selected groundcovers provide contrast against the robust stonework, while the upper lawn creates an open recreational space complete with a sauna retreat nestled within the landscape. Together, the materials, planting and construction combine to create a garden that balances functionality, durability and timeless character.
