A Dream Australian Garden
By Bates Landscape Design
This dream Australian garden is creative, bold and colourful: a picture-perfect poolside retreat. Our client, who spends a lot time overseas, briefed us to create a quintessentially Australian garden so he could feel that strong sense of place when he is home.
This garden is an essay in native plants - Bottle Trees from Queensland, Kangaroo Paws and Grass Trees from WA and Banksia from NSW and Victoria.
Garden designed by Michael Bates.

About the
Professional
Bates Design is the culmination of a lifetime of creating breathtaking landscapes for owner Michael Bates. Our focus is on creating unique spaces informed by the lifestyle and aesthetic of our clients, as well as the features and nuances of each individual site.
A proud ‘garden agnostic’, for Michael gardening is akin to a religious experience. Our clients - who are lucky enough to live in properties where most people only dream of holidaying - are equally as devoted. They don’t believe in compromising when it comes to the vision for their homes and we’re privileged to make their garden dreams come true.
With six designers boasting a combined 40+ years of design experience, we have long appreciated the power of garden design to enrich lives. In partnership with Bates Landscape, we offer a complete solution from initial sketches to a living, breathing masterpiece.
