Story: A well designed garden
Episode: 1
Presenter: Dan Foreman
Air Date: 22 Aug 2026

Dan takes us through some of the common challenges encountered in landscaping and demonstrates practical solutions to overcome them.

• Functionality is a key part of landscape design. The goal is to create a space that is not only visually appealing but also practical and usable for the client.
• A well-designed garden should maximise the available space and cater to the needs of the family using it.
• Monique’s backyard had a significant slope, which made it difficult to maximise the available space for the family to use.
• The existing layout limited both the functionality and usability of the garden.
• Shapecaper steel edging was used to create different levels and tiers within the garden beds.
• These tiers allowed us to make better use of the sloping space, creating areas for planting while also incorporating functional spaces for the family.
• By working with the existing slope rather than against it, the garden became more practical, usable and aesthetically pleasing.
