DESIGN YOUR COURTYARD
The Complete Garden is aware that for many, their home is a sanctuary. With lives becoming busier and increasing concerns regarding water shortages nationwide, Courtyards are the ideal alternative, allowing the homeowner to have the best of both worlds – an indoor/outdoor entertaining space that is low maintenance and water efficient. The Complete Garden will work with you to transform your home and garden.
Take advantage of your home’s outdoor space with al fresco living. The Complete Garden’s Granite and Tuscan settings are becoming equally popular for both indoor and outdoor dining.
Please feel free to bring in photos, plans, measurements and any other material - we are more than happy help with your outdoor space.
MAINTAINING OUTDOOR FURNITURE
Home makers are looking for products that will withstand the elements when displayed outdoors. At The Complete Garden we recommend any products going outdoors should be sealed with a good quality sealant upon purchasing and then again throughout the year. This will minimise the effects of weather and reduce the likelihood of rust developing.
Different sealants are required for different surfaces. A granite or Tuscan style table top will require a different sealant to the sealant required for the metal base and chairs.
Sealants come in varying applications but we find the most effective for applying sealant to iron furniture is an aerosol spray-on sealant. A good quality sealant will soak deep into the pores of the metal, forming a barrier that locks out moisture and air - the main culprits of rust. See in store for aerosol sealants we currently stock.
CONSIDERING A WATER FEATURE?
The modern garden is about creating ambience and tranquility. The constant trickle of a fountain, the gentle splash of a waterfall, the sway of a water lily, the rippling of a fish-filled pond – each creates an environment that soothes the senses.
A water feature creates a point of difference in your garden. Adding life to any environment with calming sound and movement, water features can make a major statement, can link to other design elements or simply add a finishing touch to your home and garden. Water features are a popular way of adding value to the home, with simple maintenance, recyclable water and easy installation.
Whether you are looking for a Contemporary, Tuscan, Mediterranean or Classic style of water feature, today’s innovative water features can be used to separate areas, beautify, cool the senses, and highlight special focal points.
Water features come in many shapes and sizes. Wall fountains provide a tranquil trickle of water, or a cascade via a stepped series of bowls. A freestanding water feature impresses as a statement in the centre of the garden, or by the pool. Enhanced with lighting, water features provide wonderful visual displays at both day and night.
