A naturalistic tropical garden where the house disappears into the landscape. Not manicured — alive.
Tropical naturalistic — lush, layered, wild-feeling gardens that create privacy and immerse the house in nature. Japandi-influenced hardscape meets Thai tropical planting.
These guiding ideas shape every decision — from where boulders sit to which trees line the boundaries.
Use existing and placed boulders as design features — not obstacles. Rock gardens integrated into planted areas, natural stone walls creating feature views from the terrace. Rocks around the Pebble Tech pool for a natural lagoon feel.
Dense, multi-height planting that feels like walking through a jungle, not a resort garden. Canopy trees, mid-story flowering shrubs, ground cover ferns and creeping vines. The opposite of a manicured lawn.
Dense bamboo hedging and Ficus (Korean banyan) along boundaries. Layered planting creates natural walls without feeling fenced in. Let the green do the work — no hard fences visible.
Pebble Tech finish with planting right up to pool edges — not bare concrete everywhere. Consider a small waterfall feature using natural granite and volcanic rock. The pool should feel discovered, not installed.
Height and density create the jungle feeling. Each layer has a role.
Nine clear directions for the landscape designer.
Think “jungle villa” not “resort garden.” Dense, wild-feeling, rich with texture and layers.
Boulders integrated with planting around the Pebble Tech pool. Natural lagoon, not concrete rectangle.
Bamboo + Ficus + mid-story flowering along all boundaries. No visible fences or walls.
Frangipani and jasmine throughout. The garden should smell incredible at all times of day.
Natural stone stepping-stone paths. No poured concrete. Clean lines, minimal intervention.
Open play areas near pool. Barefoot-safe paths. No thorny plants at child height.
Zone for chickens and bees — away from pool but accessible. Integrate naturally.
Uplighting on specimen trees. Path-level warm glow. The light source should be invisible.
Rain Bird system with smart controllers. Multiple garden taps. Landscaper coordinates placement.
