Brighton Project
Discover the Brighton Project, a modern landscape in Brighton, Victoria, realised with advanced trees supplied by Evergreen Trees Direct. Thoughtfully selected hedging and screening such as Syzygium ‘Backyard Bliss’ and Ficus Hillii ‘Flash’ create privacy and presence, while Japanese maple and sculptural box hedges lend seasonal interest and refined character.
Set in Brighton, Victoria and landscaped by Jack Merlo Landscape & Design, this is a modern garden built around privacy, structure and a sense of quiet luxury. The brief was clear: screen the home for seclusion while creating a green outlook from the kitchen and living areas. Working to Jack Merlo's plant schedule, we supplied a layered selection of evergreen hedging, screening and feature trees, shaping a composed, ultra-modern space that complements the home's sophisticated architecture.
