An exotic escape in the heart of the city
Eco Garden Construct unveils a transformative residential landscaping project that redefines the concept of a private garden. This immersive outdoor space fuses natural textures with exotic vegetation, creating a lush, jungle-inspired retreat that balances modern elegance with untamed beauty.
Specific client requirements
The homeowner sought an escape from the ordinary—a secluded garden that would evoke the feeling of a tropical hideaway while remaining functional, low-maintenance, and visually striking. Eco Garden Construct was entrusted with designing a landscape that would blend structural sophistication with botanical drama, using sustainable materials and mindful planting.
Project highlights
Hard landscaping
- Timber & paving harmony:
- A refined combination of red cedar and Ballau hardwood gives the garden its warm, natural character. The design incorporates:
-
- Red cedar batten fencing, offering both privacy and a contemporary aesthetic
- Grey clay paver slabs used strategically for pond coping and stepping stones, merging practicality with visual continuity
- A bespoke Ballau hardwood deck and bridge crossing the pond, forming a central focal point and an elevated viewing experience
-
Soft landscaping
- Structural jungle vegetation:
- The planting scheme establishes a lush, tropical ambiance with a carefully curated mix of:
-
- Bamboo, Dicksonia antarctica (Tree Ferns), and Banana trees forming a tall, leafy canopy reminiscent of a rainforest
- These statement species create vertical interest and a dramatic, immersive setting
-
- Complementary planting layers:
-
- Ground-level flower beds are filled with diverse fern species, adding texture and enhancing the jungle feel
- The pond hosts a variety of aquatic plants, enriching biodiversity and supporting a thriving micro-ecosystem

The result
This residential garden is more than just an outdoor space—it’s a serene sanctuary designed for relaxation, reflection, and sensory delight. The thoughtful interplay of tropical vegetation with high-quality hardscape materials results in a bold yet balanced environment that invites exploration and offers everyday escapism. A testament to Eco Garden Construct’s design ethos, this garden demonstrates how ecological richness and refined craftsmanship can coexist beautifully.
