Project Overview

Designer Vertical Gardens worked with a well-renowned Brisbane landscape and design company on a riverside apartment development requiring a clean, cohesive and high-end outdoor greenery solution.

The project included six separate areas across the apartment development. The goal was to create a unified visual appearance so the residences felt connected, premium and intentionally designed, while still preserving the luxury waterfront outlook.

The Client

The client specialises in high-end landscaping, construction and design services throughout Brisbane and Queensland. Their approach focuses on creating outdoor spaces that add both visual appeal and long-term property value.

For this apartment project, they needed a solution that looked established immediately, complemented the architecture, and avoided the complications of live creepers, vines or hedging.

Instant Privacy for Modern Homes

The dense foliage helped create privacy and greenery without waiting for natural planting to mature.

The Project Challenge

The property featured a strong architectural palette of whites, browns and hard exterior finishes. A third colour was needed to soften the overall appearance and add natural contrast without overwhelming the waterfront setting.

The solution also needed to cover plain or unsightly areas quickly, provide visual separation between residences, and avoid the ongoing watering, pruning and establishment period required by living plants.

Key Requirements

  • Create a consistent look across six outdoor zones
  • Provide instant privacy and greenery coverage
  • Soften hard exterior finishes and architectural walls
  • Maintain a premium waterfront lifestyle feel
  • Avoid live plant maintenance and growth delays
  • Deliver a clean, manicured result immediately

The Product Solution

To achieve the desired third colour and natural contrast, Designer Vertical Gardens supplied Classic English Boxwood Artificial Hedge panels.

The deep green, manicured English boxwood style helped define the outdoor zones, brighten the apartment surrounds, and complement the waterfront backdrop.

Why Classic English Boxwood Worked

  • Dense two-tone green foliage for realistic visual depth
  • UV-resistant finish suitable for outdoor Australian conditions
  • Easy-to-cut backing for shaping around project requirements
  • Strong coverage for privacy and screening applications
  • Premium manicured appearance without ongoing trimming
  • Fast installation compared with living hedges or vines

Custom Hedge Screening for Any Size or Style

A major advantage of artificial hedge installations is that they can be adapted to suit almost any space, height, width or design requirement.

Designer Vertical Gardens can custom make mesh frames, timber-style frames, lightweight screening systems or project-specific structures depending on the installation location. These frames can then be fitted with the preferred green wall or hedge panel style to create a tailored result.

  • Custom-made hedge screens for unusual sizes or awkward spaces
  • Mesh frame options for lightweight and flexible installation
  • Timber frame options for freestanding or architectural applications
  • Ability to attach different artificial green wall panel styles
  • Suitable for balconies, courtyards, decks, side yards, walls and fencing
  • Ideal for quickly covering old walls, unattractive fencing or unfinished surfaces

Premium Screening Finish

The final result delivered a crisp, consistent and high-value greenery outcome across the apartment exterior.

The Result

With an approximate budget of $10,000, the project achieved a strong visual transformation across the apartment development.

The artificial boxwood helped unify the separate residences, introduced a refined natural green colour palette, and created an established landscaping look without the time and cost pressures of live plant maintenance.

Project Outcomes

  • Improved privacy across multiple outdoor apartment areas
  • Created a more cohesive appearance across the development
  • Softened architectural walls, paving and exterior surfaces
  • Delivered instant greenery without months or years of growth
  • Reduced maintenance compared with live landscaping
  • Added a premium designer finish to the waterfront property
“The final outcome was second to none, vastly exceeding the design outcome that was expected. The simplicity and ease with which the installation occurred was a huge advantage compared to using living creepers or vines that take months to grow, if not years. Exceptional natural greens with the ultimate in coverage.”
