The Sandwood Family Home
Crisp Coastal Lines Built on a Fixed Budget.
This project is a masterclass in clean lines and precision. Partnering with 40|43 Developments as the subcontract builder, we brought our “Spruce” standard to their architectural vision. While known for traditional farmhouses, this build proves our execution applies flawlessly to contemporary design. Featuring striking vertical timber cladding and a bright oak kitchen, we delivered this modern family home exactly on budget and completely stress-free.
The Specific Challenges
Minimalist designs leave no room to hide; every line must be perfectly straight. Blending custom vertical timber cladding with pale brickwork required rigorous quality control. Our primary challenge was executing this highly detailed architectural look while strictly protecting the project’s hard financial ceiling from day one.
Standout Achievements
We delivered the project on a fixed-price contract with zero hidden variations in just 5 months. Standout features include the immaculate timber-clad facade, seamless indoor-to-outdoor flow, and the flawlessly finished white stone and timber kitchen that anchors the home.
Testimonial
Our Nights Outdoors Are Now Magical
We used to come inside as soon as the sun went down because the backyard felt dark and uninviting. The team at ABC Landscapes showed us how outdoor lighting could change everything. They installed subtle path lights, feature lights in our trees, and soft alfresco lighting that created atmosphere without being harsh. They handled all the electrical work with licensed trades, so we felt safe and confident. The first evening we switched them on, we couldn’t believe how different it felt. Now we sit outside most nights, sharing a wine together, and it feels like a holiday in our own garden.

They Keep Our Garden Looking Fresh All Year
We booked ABC Landscapes for seasonal maintenance and it has been worth every cent. They prune, mulch, and fertilise at the right time so the garden never looks run down. Instead of waiting for things to get messy, everything always looks cared for. It makes our home feel inviting no matter the season.

Low Maintenance, High Impact
As a couple working long hours we didn’t want a garden that demanded constant attention. The ABC team gave us a design that is bold and stylish but almost looks after itself. Coming home to a neat, green space instead of weeds and sand has changed how we feel about the house. It feels like a sanctuary, not another job to do.

A Garden That Feels Like A Holiday
My partner and I wanted a quiet space to relax after work but didn’t know where to start. The team designed a simple, low-maintenance garden with cosy lighting and lush planting. It honestly feels like a resort when we sit outside at night. We finally have a space that brings us together instead of staying inside.

Perfect For Barbecues And Gatherings
We love hosting family barbecues but our garden wasn’t set up for it. ABC Landscapes created a functional alfresco area with lighting, paving, and planting that ties it all together. Now we can have big gatherings without stress, and the whole family enjoys the space. It feels warm, welcoming, and ready for any occasion.

A Backyard Where The Kids Actually Play
Our old garden was just dust and weeds, and the kids never wanted to be outside. ABC Landscapes gave us lawns, shaded spots, and safe paths. Now the kids spend hours outside while we relax nearby. It has made family time so much easier, and weekends feel less cramped because we’ve gained an outdoor playroom.
