Ballina by The Sea

Nestled on a steep slope with stunning views, this residential garden in the Northern Rivers had become overgrown and tired after five years of minimal upkeep.

Spaces by Brillante was brought in to breathe new life into the landscape, with a clear vision to restore structure, enhance visual impact, and create a garden that feels like living artwork when viewed from the home.
