Materials we specify and why: sandstone.

Sandstone turns up in a lot of our gardens, and it comes in two very different forms.

Big sawn blocks, like the walls in Weetangera and the terraces in Garran, do the heavy lifting. They hold back soil, step a yard between levels and give you a solid edge you can sit on. Thinner stone facing, like the raised bed by the Weetangera pool and the walls in Chapman, brings the same warm colour to a wall or planter without the bulk.

Because every piece is natural stone, no two look quite the same, so a finished wall never looks flat.

Close your eyes, count to three, new garden. If only.

This Curtin front yard took a few more steps than that. The drainage went in first, then the sandstone blocks, the curved paths, fresh turf and the planting, with a sandstone seating circle tucked into the corner. We filmed it five times between early March and late April.

The countdown's a joke. The work behind it isn't.

In early September the front yard was bare dirt, an excavator and a stack of timber.

By the end of the month, Jacob and the team had curved steel edging into a kidney-shaped lawn, laid new turf, planted out the garden beds, built a path from the side gate to the front door and finished the car park in granite.

Same spots, a few weeks apart. Swipe through for mid-build and finished.

That gum has seen plenty of Canberra winters. Now it's got a front yard to match.

A family backyard has to work for everyone at once: somewhere to swim, open lawn to run around on, and a spot the kids can call their own.

From above, this Weetangera backyard shows how it fits together: the pool close to the house, with a big sweep of lawn beyond it. In Chapman, the trampoline sits beside a terraced garden bed instead of taking over the yard. In Higgins, the lawn curves around a big old gum, with shade built in. And in Garran, the lawn runs right up to the covered patio.

Designing for family use comes down to space, sight lines and shade.

“I expected it to take weeks, and it only took three and a half days.”

Alex’s backyard in Denman Prospect was mostly grass and a few plain garden beds, and when it rained, it flooded. Not quite the view the family had in mind from the kitchen window.

The brief was a low-maintenance native garden they could set and forget. In Alex’s words: “We have a little bit of black thumbs.”

So the team stripped out the grass and the old soil, brought in new materials, built the garden beds, and welded the steel edging and planters right there in the yard.

With no side access, everything had to come through the house. The crew laid protective flooring, lifted the wheelbarrows over the door frames, then cleaned the walls and vacuumed before they left. As Alex puts it: “They left it looking exactly as it was before they came in.”

Thank you, Alex. Enjoy the view from the kitchen window.

Canberra summers keep you guessing. Thirty-five degrees one day, a storm the next, and clay soil that bakes hard in between.

Most of the work to get a garden through it happens now, before the heat arrives in December. Four things worth doing in the next few weeks:

Top up the mulch to 50 to 75mm, and keep it pulled back from stems.

Water deeply and less often, rather than a little every day.

Keep an eye on anything planted this year. It's still settling in.

Run your watering system once to check for blocked drippers and leaks. From September to May, ACT rules allow sprinklers and drip systems only before 9am or after 6pm.

These photos are from a garden we finished in Higgins in September, with young plants heading into their first summer.

A good low wall does more than hold soil back.

In Holder, sandstone blocks become seating around the fire pit. In Weetangera, a run of blocks takes up the change in level across the lawn. In Garran, low walls step a sloping yard down into planted terraces. In Taylor, stone-clad walls carry the fire pit platform and the stairs. And in Chapman, a block wall holds the garden bed up beside the side path.

One element, five jobs: seating, levels, terraces, steps and edging.

The walk from the back door to the pool matters more than you'd think.

At this Weetangera home, the paving runs from under the pergola straight out towards the pool, so the view lines up as soon as you step outside. From above you can see the whole layout: house, paving, pool and lawn in one line. Around the pool, sandstone walls and frameless glass frame the paving without closing it in.

Get that connection right and the pool feels like part of the house, not something sitting at the bottom of the yard.

Materials we specify and why: steel.

Every edge and planter in this Denman Prospect backyard is steel, cut and welded to size right there in the yard. As Alex put it: "They welded the steel in our yard. They made the pots."

Why steel? It's thin. You get a crisp line between gravel, mulch and garden bed without a chunky border eating into a small yard. It bends into a smooth curve, so the beds sweep around the space instead of stopping at hard corners. And the round planters lift the young trees up off the ground, giving the garden height while it grows in.

Because each piece was made on site, it fits the design exactly. The design didn't have to bend to suit whatever came off the shelf.

John didn’t set out to be the one training half the crew. It happened because he has the patience to do things properly.

He’s been a team leader with In-Depth for about a year and a half, and most of the younger crew have learned something from him along the way. His thinking is simple: if knowledge isn’t passed on, it leaves with the person who had it.

That patience shows in the work. On this Denman Prospect job the client wanted a flat lawn, but the sewer and stormwater points were set at fixed levels. Rather than force it flat against them, John’s team shaped the lawn into a gentle roll that works with those levels. Roll a ball across it and it keeps going: no snag, no lip, and no water sitting where it shouldn’t.

That is what a team leader does for your project: the crew on site has learned from people like John.

Who taught you the most when you were starting out?
