Formal lawn-free native town garden
Frame a straight path with Griselinia hedges and low hebe edging. Repeat bronze Carex in both beds and use rounded Pittosporum at the back for structure without a lawn.
This plan suits a sunny to lightly shaded, well-drained site. Mulch the beds, water while plants establish and clip the hedges as needed to keep the formal shape.
