How to create a coastal oasis in your backyard

Give your backyard a beach-inspired makeover. - by Adam Dovile
  • 08 Jan 2021

Cool and contemporary… on so many levels. A salty smell, soft sea breezes and the sound of the surging ocean all add to the distinctive look and feel of coastal living. Even without an ocean view, you can still embrace the soft grey tones of the foliage and sink into a lifestyle that’s hardy, weathered and welcoming!

Backyard deck with table

Build a deck

A low deck is a great way to not only create a separate area in your garden that’s a perfect spot for entertaining, but also to cover over an ugly problem spot like a tired old concrete slab.

Garden sleeper bench

Build a garden bench 

Use an old hardwood sleeper to create a rustic bench that will be a feature in your garden. Keep the theme from your garden makeover going by wrapping rusting steel garden edging around the bottom of the seat. 

Table setting under tree

Create a retreat

Make the most of a mature tree and create a spot for one or two people to relax with a three-piece table setting. It's the perfect spot for two to enjoy a drink or a meal.

You still can’t wipe the smile from the affable chippie who won season 2 of House Rules with his wife Lisa in 2014. They then got married in May 2015, and moved from Melbourne to Sydney to join the Better Homes and Gardens team as their resident builder, it’s fair to say that Adam’s grin isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
