This TLA member has transformed a challenging, sloping site with retaining issues into a cohesive outdoor space.

Spectacular views often come with challenging site issues for gardening contractors, which was certainly the case with this residential garden.

However, in a considered approach, Two Palms Landscaping managed the tough, steep, slope of this award-winning back garden on Sydney's northern beaches using innovative retaining solutions, creating playful, engaging spaces, and transforming it into a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing landscape.

The work won the Gold and Best in Category award in Residential Construction ($100,000 to $250,000) for Two Palms Landscaping at the 2024 Landscape Excellence Awards, with the judges particularly commending the execution of the timber and walls, calling it '...an excellent-looking garden'.

The brief

This rear garden was a return client for Two Palms Landscaping, who constructed the front garden in 2022. The brief for the back garden was to create a space that seamlessly integrated with the existing landscape while adding an element of fun and playfulness.
