This is how a boring and barren entryway became a lush garden

James Walkinshaw of Xanthe White Design transformed a barren Pt Chevalier entryway into a lush garden, modernising the home without major renovations.

A black steel pergola and textural planting create distinct garden 'rooms' for family living. The design maximises the area by reducing the driveway and adding built-in seating. The planting palette uses fresh greens, whites, and Japanese maples to provide beautiful, year-round interest and create a welcoming entrance for the family home.
