I found that many in here are focusing on Interior Design of their homes, but not much talk about exterior design of your lovely house.

Reason of starting this thread is to gather some landscaping information for learning from Q&A on ideas, concept and design for Malaysian. There are many information that I could found by googling but most of the readings and design are Western, very less of Asian or Malaysian in specific which I found not really applicable sometimes.

I think Landscaping needs more attention for homeowners especially If you are Landed property owner. I believe One of the many reason of having a landed house is the yard space for family activity. Those who have owned house with side yards or gardens should make use of the space as useful as possible.

To me, space outside the house, i.e side-yard, back-yard, front-yard, garden should be a place for family to enjoy and relax. I feels wasted if those space are left unutilized, because we pay every single inch of the property.

I hope I can get more support in this thread... while more of you will post in comment, photos and ideas.

If you are looking for some readings check out some of these that I found on web recently.

Ideas and photos:

Sunset.com - landscape ideas - worldwide

Local Landscaping article:
Garden Landscape Malaysia

Hope these will help you understand more on Landscaping!

Share more of your landscaping project here!!
I believe many gardening and landscaping sifu here will able to share.

Not many peoples talk about this topic because most are living in pigeon hole houses....where got land to do landscaping. So it would be interresting if forumer talk about this topic

try this math: for 40mm grass
One roll size is 6.5 feet x 82 feet = 533 square feet

DIY Price for Le Grassi (40mm) is RM17 per square feet

Price for one roll = 533 sq ft x RM17 = RM9,061

My jungle land is about 50ft x 20ft. (+-)。 If shrink smaller also rmKKK

No removing the bricks, left the bricks there and plastered it then waterproof it with Sika top.

Hi Stevie8,

You cannot be serious doing all this all by yourself? You must have learn to do this else I doubt anyone who have never done this before can do it. Also I think those landscaping company can "chap lup" cause you all dIY. I will not do it myself unless I want to handle the after effect. Getting professional landscaping expert is a better choice and if you have such a big garden, why so stingy on spending?

Have started with a vertical garden about 2 months now, and some plants are growing quite well, but some plants are not growing as well, so if any experts can advise (hint hint stevie8) will be great. Here's the current state:

The area is at the balcony, but I do not get full sun light. Area is airy and I do watering every morning.
