At this Chiap Guan Avenue residence, Abundance Landscape’s work brings together layered planting, boulder arrangements and pale gravel to create a garden along the edges of the entrance. Slender trees and rounded shrubs add depth while keeping the central forecourt open. An indoor tree feature extends the greenery into the home, creating a focal point beside the staircase.
The outdoor composition builds interest through changes in height, shape and texture. Airy tree canopies rise above rounded shrubs, fine foliage and small white flowers, giving the narrow planting beds a layered character. Grey stepping stones trace the route from the gate, with pale gravel continuing around the planted edges.
Along the sheltered side of the entrance, the arrangement becomes simpler. Individual boulders sit within patches of low green groundcover, their solid forms contrasting with the loose gravel surrounding them. This quieter stretch balances the fuller planting nearby, allowing each stone and plant grouping space to stand out.
Indoors, a single potted tree continues this restrained approach. Its branching silhouette adds height beside the staircase, bringing leafy detail to the living area and a different perspective when viewed from above.
Key Elements
- Layered Border Planting: Slender trees, rounded shrubs and softer foliage create depth within the narrow beds beside the entrance.
- Boulder & Groundcover Compositions: Grey boulders sit within low green groundcover, forming distinct focal points along the sheltered garden strip.
- Gravel & Stepping-Stone Route: Pale gravel connects the garden edges, while rectangular stepping stones establish a clear approach from the gate.
- Indoor Tree Feature: A tall tree in a neutral-toned planter brings greenery to the stair-side corner without crowding the surrounding living space.
From the planted approach to the view down the staircase, the landscape brings greenery into the everyday experience of arriving home.
