JOHN HAMILTON WANTED TO CREATE A REFRESHED LOOK FOR HIS BACKYARD, A SMALL
GRASSED AREA OPENING UP FROM THE HOUSE THROUGH TWO SETS OF BI-FOLD DOORS.
The task was to create a harmonious transition from this interior space to the garden to create an outdoor room
effect. Boral’s Aspenstone® pavers were chosen for their durability and resilience as well as their aesthetic appeal.
In this beachside location, they provide a hard-wearing surface that is salt safe and water resistant.
The expansive eucalypt at the rear of the garden meant that the grass wasn’t thriving. By covering the grass
with Aspenstone® pavers, the Hamiltons gained a new entertaining area that complemented the look of their
home, created less garden to water, and importantly was low maintenance giving them more time to enjoy their
outdoor space.

ASPENSTONE®
A sophisticated, large rectangular format
paver with a washed stone texture that is
equally at home around a swimming pool or
as a feature paver in an alfresco courtyard.
nip’n’tuck beach
Aspenstone pavers in Cappuccino were used in this
makeover – a new colour in the Aspenstone® range.
These pavers are also available in Vanilla, and popular
favourite, Buttermilk. By matching the paving colour
with their internal walls, this family’s indoor/outdoor
transition was complete.
This paver is designed to work with Australian weather
conditions and lifestyle, with the look of real stone
– a winning combination.
DIY FACTORAspenstone® is easy to lay
yourself. Its large rectangular
shape speeds up the laying
process, and its consistent sizing
makes measuring easy.
Although Aspenstone®
pavers are pre-sealed, Boral
recommends that all pavers
should be sealed again with
a quality penetrating sealer
following installation.

latest new colour in the

Picking up on the latest colour trends of warm
hues in earthy tones, this garden makeover uses
two feature products: Aspenstone® Vanilla
pavers and Arena® retaining wall blocks in Fudge.
The contrast in the colours of the wall and
paving are a feature of the space and the
combination of products in the steps bring
the look together beautifully.
TREND SPOTTERVanilla is a new colour in the
Aspenstone® paving range and can be used to create a variety of looks – your imagination is
your only limitation!
The Arena® retaining wall not only looks great with
its textural fi nish, but it is also a practical solution for
quick fi x garden makeovers. Arena® is affordable,
easy to install, lightweight and does not require
preparation work – a DIY dream.
The new wall colour Fudge used in this build
provides contrast, warmth and a basis to add modern
garden furnishings and accessories.
Interior
designers often
say that texture and colour
are two of the most important
elements in creating the
wow factor in homes.
You can use this same
technique outdoors with the
right combination of wall and
paving products.

We gave this traditional garden a
country-feel nip’n’tuck to create a
contemplative and versatile space.
The blocks also require no wall capping – even more time
and money saved!
Boral comes to the renovation rescue with a
combination of retaining wall and paving products
that provide the answers.
Our new Arena® retaining wall blocks were used to
create this country look at a budget price. Arena®
is designed to be an easy to build product. It solves
common problems often faced by budding builders
to create a professional look.
Boral has designed these blocks so that no messy
mortar or special tools are required.
This product also comes
with a universal corner,
which means no time-
consuming block cutting,
plus it’s lightweight but
strong enough to do the job.
The blocks also require no
wall capping – even more
time and money saved!
Arena® looks great for
garden seats and
benches too.

PROMENADE™
Designed for budget-conscious DIY enthusiasts, these pavers are easy to lay,
and easy on the wallet.
Promenade™ is a popular paver as it ticks all the boxes. Its large shape is both
the latest in garden style and makes laying fast. With a smooth fi nish and
range of colour choices, it suits a variety of garden styles.
This paver can be used for both heavy duty and lighter
use areas and has a bullnose option for driveways*,
steps and pool surrounds.
Almond Promenade™ pavers have been used to
complement the Arena® retaining wall in Nougat
and give an earthy, tranquil look, adding the
fi nishing touch to this outdoor room.

FAMOUS ENGLISH FASHION STYLISTS TRINNY
AND SUSANNAH HAVE HELPED PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD CHOOSE CLOTHES TO
SUIT THEIR BODY SHAPE. WE’VE TAKEN THE
‘WHAT NOT TO WEAR’ CHALLENGE TO SEE IF
THE SAME RULES CAN APPLY TO THE GARDEN.
Just as a set of new well-fi tting clothes can make
us feel great about ourselves, a garden can also
have the power to change our moods.
A drab, overgrown garden can easily make us feel that
there is an insurmountable amount of work involved to
make the garden useful, and too often we just ignore it
and go back indoors. It is incredibly frustrating to know
you have the outdoor space, but can’t use it to make
the most of your lifestyle and leisure time.
We’ve created some gardens using
the Trinny and Susannah approach and hope we can
get the creative juices fl owing on how you can ‘frock
up’ your own outdoor space.
Just like the body is made up of parts to clothe and
fl atter, so is your garden.
It’s not just established gardens
and outdoor areas that can benefi t
from DIY makeovers. This modern
Gold Coast home has been treated
to a paving makeover using Boral
pavers ideal for modern settings.
Stoneworks™ Travertine in Chalk
is a large format paver – the style
currently in vogue for modern
indoor-outdoor living spaces. This
sleek look brings the indoors out.

PRODUCT USED IN THIS MAKEOVER:
Stoneworks™
Travertine in Chalk
This paver is a perfect choice for pool surrounds. Chalk is a new colour in this range and perfect for modern home applications. It is available in a standard and a bullnose paver, and measures 500mm x 500mm x 40mm.
MAKEOVER
The following three home
outdoor areas have been
made over with new
Boral products.
ODG 2008 8
PRODUCTS USED IN THIS MAKEOVER:
Stoneworks™ Travertine in Smoke
A popular paver because of its naturally-aged appearance and suitability for paths, patios and pools. It is available in a standard and a bullnose paver, and measures 500mm x 500mm.
River Pebble™
A new and exciting product that provides a natural pattern for outdoor settings. With three different paver units available, all in 450mm x 450mm size, this paver can be used for a variety of applications. Lay with Geo-Fix® mortar.
Geo-Fix®
This is a new paving joint mortar, perfect to use with River Pebble™ pavers. This product saves paving time by up to 20%, as it does not require trowelling, hiring a compactor, wasting water or cleaning to complete the task.
THE OWNERS OF THIS SYDNEY
BEACHSIDE HOME WANTED TO REFRESH
THEIR DRIVEWAY AREA WITH A
NATURAL, MODERN LOOK.
Rather than continuing the area with the
standard paving used on the driveway, the
owners chose a contrasting pattern and products in
complementary colour tones.
Boral’s new River Pebble™ pavers were used in
the majority of the space, but actually became a
feature when bordered by Stoneworks™ Travertine
pavers. The colour of the pebbles provided
contrasting brown tones and the result was a new
living space that helped to modernise the entry
statement to this home.
The best news about this makeover is the
simplicity of laying the River Pebble™ product – it’s
not as complicated as it looks because the paver
units fi t like a jigsaw puzzle and the new Geo-Fix®
mortar doesn’t need any messy preparation or
equipment – all it takes is to scatter it on the
pavers, sweep it in and leave it to set.
JUST THINK• Can a disused corner of the garden
be transformed into a gorgeous
raised bed with a new retaining wall?
• Are you covering old and tired
pavers with potplants losing
important square metres
of space?

The only feature of this garden was once the old tree.
The grass that lay beneath the tree was patchy and too shaded
from the sun so the space was rarely used by its owners.
The garden needed some defi nition and a large level area
where the owners could enjoy entertaining or just relaxing
in their garden space.
The rules for fashion styling and garden design are the same:
add contrast and fl air by using accessories; in this case a
retaining wall.
The addition of Boral’s River Pebble™ pavers
and Hadrian Wall® gave the garden different
focal points and features that look as if they
have always been there.

to fl ourish and remains patchy
and full of weeds? Replace it with
stylish paving – you don’t have to
do the entire garden – a square of
feature paving might just
do the trick.

PAVERS AND RETAINING WALLS ARE IMPORTANT IN SETTING THE TONE FOR
AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA AND PAVILION AS THEY DEFINE THE SPACE, ADD COLOUR, TEXTURE AND INTEREST.
Australians are becoming more environmentally aware
and increasingly want a connection with nature in
their gardens. Thus, the idea of the backyard as a private sanctuary is stronger than ever. This translates into designing spaces with waterwise plants, homegrown vegetables and fruits, paved outdoor entertainment areas and ‘outdoor pavilions’. The outdoor pavilion, or ‘extra room’, has become a major focal point of the garden. Built-in seating, kitchens, fi replaces and barbecues under a permanent shade structure allow the ‘extra room’ to be enjoyed all year round and any time of the day if night lighting has been installed.
3. The use of light coloured pavers and walls can brighten
up a dreary part of the garden.
A strong trend in new
garden design is textural
contrasts of outdoor materials.
This can be achieved in simple
ways. Create a showcase of
interesting pots (used like
sculptural pieces), or use
coloured and textured paving
with timber, large pebbles, wall
art and generous planting beds.
Metal is a new dominant outdoor
feature. Oxidised steel panels
act as wall art or screening.
Combine them with delicate
planting such as native grasses
that soften the edges.
Combining large and
small format pavers
can add textural
qualities to a space.
TREES THAT SHOW SEASONAL
CHANGE ARE FASHIONABLE.
9. Pavers wrapped around 9. Pavers wrapped around a small tree or row of a small tree or row of trees is very effective trees is very effective
and stylish.and stylish.
5. Pavers, retaining walls and plantings work hand in hand both texturally
and tonally.
10. LET IT FLOWNatural free-fl owing spaces are becoming more prevalent in garden design. The hard-edged angular look is still omnipresent but wherever possible softer curves are being introduced.
Soft lines can be created by:• Using curved pathways to connect different outdoor spaces. • Changing paving material and patterns to alter the mood and direction of an outdoor space.• Creating a fl owing line with pavers and retaining walls.
6. Mulches are also
a strong part of the
dry garden and add
another textural and
tonal element.

WHAT TO PLANT?
Foliage plants are still
popular and include
succulents, native grasses,
variegated plants with stripy
whites, yellow, pinks and
greens, cordylines for their
sculptural forms and red hues.
Popular plant colours are silver,
grey, pink and burgundy.
Combinations of waterwise
native, indigenous and exotic
plants are fl ourishing along
with the Mediterranean garden.
Choose ornamental grasses,
aloes, lillipillies, salvias,
artemisias and dwarf oleanders.
Small trees, such as olive,
frangipani and magnolia ‘Little
Gem’ allow natural shade and
complement a waterwise
garden design.

The visual appeal of the
raised beds is great. Boral did a fantastic job on the replication of natural stone and having the beds high makes it much easier to work in the patch – I don’t need to bend down.It inspired me to make my grandmother’s famous beetroot recipe and the children really got into the garden. They enjoy pulling out the beetroot or cutting the lettuce for dinner. It actually made them eat more vegetables and try new things.
