\nCharlie Albone<\/strong>, landscape designer on Selling Houses Australia has just returned from Hong Kong and shares some great design ideas he picked up there and as well he has some advice that will save property sellers losing up to 25% on offers when they sell.
\nTranscript:<\/strong>
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 I\u2019m delighted to say our special guest in the show is Charlie Albone, who is a landscape designer from Selling Houses Australia<\/i>, of course \u2013 very well known for that. He\u2019s also owner of Inspired Exteriors, and general all-round stirrer of Andrew Winter, I believe.
\nCharlie, good day.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Hello. Yes, that is my favorite job, [0:16 inaudible]<\/b> of Andrew Winter.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>You do it very well, too.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>He\u2019s just so easy. That\u2019s the thing.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>He\u2019s easy to bait, is he?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>He is very easy to bait.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>You\u2019ve just come back from Hong Kong. Was that a holiday, or were you there on business?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>No, I was there on business. I just went for three days. I have a client there. We\u2019re designing the gardens around their house. It\u2019s very nice.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Are gardening concepts different in Hong Kong from Australia?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes. They say, \u201cOh, we have a big block for you to look at,\u201d and you turn up and it\u2019s the size of the smallest townhouse here, and you think, \u201cYeah, huge.\u201d
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, I suppose the plants would be different, as well.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yeah, it\u2019s a very humid climate. The issue you have is it can be very overcast and foggy and humid, and then all of the sudden, the sun comes out and the leaves all have water on them and they start to burn. So you have to be really careful with what you select.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>When you travel like that, Charlie, do you pick up ideas, new design concepts?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Absolutely. I think travel is one of the most important things you can do for new ideas. It doesn\u2019t have to be a straight copy of something. Traveling around, you might find an interesting texture on the wall that you see, and that might spark something to maybe use that texture in a paving pattern, or colors in color combinations, as well. Traveling is really good for sparking ideas.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Speaking about travel, we spoke to you after you came back from the Chelsea Flower Show last time. You hinted then that you might be going back. Is that still the case?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, absolutely. I\u2019m heading back. I leave in three weeks. We start building a garden on the other side of the world in the pouring rain, getting it ready in 21 days for the Queen to have a look at.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>That\u2019s a wonderful experience. Are you going to give us any ideas as to what the design is, or is that going to be a secret?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Unlike last year, this design is very formal. Last year\u2019s garden was a Sydney-based garden. This year is Melbourne, and it\u2019s for a busy couple who really gets a lot of support for their busy life from their garden. I travel a lot, and I tend to work quite a lot. I have young kids, as well, and I think I get so much from my garden. It just adds that extra layer of support and lets me relax, and I want to try to recreate that feeling in the garden this year.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Charlie, can you afford to have any all-time favorites, your own favorite type of plants? Are there some that you will absolutely avoid at all costs?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>There are things like Japanese peonies that I absolutely love, but being in Sydney, it\u2019s far too humid to grow them. I have a few of those in the garden at Chelsea this year. There are a lot of go-to plants that are really good. I use a lot of lilly pilly hedging just because I know I can buy it instantly tall. I love rosemary hedging, as well. That\u2019s a good one. I do quite like all the pretty flowers and stuff like that, but they do take quite a lot of work to get looking good.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Jade, our producer, told me that your producer has a weird phobia about cacti. Is that right?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes. A lot of people have weird phobias about cacti, that\u2019s for sure, which is odd because you just put them in the ground and ignore them.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>In your home, given that you\u2019re so busy, what type of gardener are you? Do you prefer those all-round plants, or are you into really high-maintenance annuals and bulbs?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>No, I like a combination of the two. I think it\u2019s important to have a combination of the two that give you the structure from stuff that you can ignore or give limited love to, and then have smaller areas where you focus your energy on all of the fiddly pruning and the dead-heading and stuff like that. That way, you can enjoy the best of both.
\nMy favorite thing in my whole garden is actually my automatic lawnmower, which is great for someone who travels as much as I do.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Automatic lawnmower? <\/b>How does that work?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>You put a perimeter ring around your garden, which is a wire, and then it just goes off. Because of the size of my garden, it does two hours of mowing in the morning, and two hours in the evening. It just takes the tiniest amount off the grass, and it always looks fantastic.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>You wouldn\u2019t want to have an overly complicated lawn, then, would you?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Mine goes around trees and paths and all that sort of stuff. So once you\u2019ve programmed it, it\u2019s absolutely fantastic.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>I\u2019ve never heard of that. What brand is it?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>It\u2019s a Husqvarna. They\u2019ve actually made them for 20 years.
\nKevin: \u00a0<\/b>Goodness.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>In all of <\/b>Sweden, every second garden has an auto-mower over there. It\u2019s a very Swedish thing to do. They\u2019re quite new over here, but really, for busy people and people who want the best for their lawns, they\u2019re fantastic.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Charlie, I want to take you in a different direction, and that\u2019s to talk about street appeal. There was a Finder <\/b>survey out recently. It said that sellers risk losing up to 25% on offers due to a lack of street appeal. You probably have seen this in your work on Selling Houses Australia<\/i>. Would that be right?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Absolutely. I was talking to Andrew Winter about this. We did An Audience with Selling Houses <\/i>last week, and somebody asked a similar question. Andrew said it doesn\u2019t matter how nice your house is on the inside or how nice your back garden is; if someone drives past the house, and it has bad street appeal, they might not even give it the time. They might just drive off. It might be the perfect house for them at the right price for them, and they\u2019re willing to pay more than somebody else, but they might just not stop because of the street appeal.
\nThe same goes for if your house isn\u2019t particularly nice and you have nice street appeal. Then someone might say, \u201cThat looks nice,\u201d and then go in, and first impressions last, so they might give it a bit more time and a bit more thought than they necessarily would have.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>I hope you recorded that comment that Andrew made because I reckon there\u2019s grounds there for you to get a pay increase for your importance on the show.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>I\u2019d like to say that, and I did mention that to him, but he said, \u201cDon\u2019t do the back garden, then. Just do the front.\u201d
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Fair enough. What are the biggest turnoffs for buyers that you\u2019ve found when it comes to a lack of street appeal?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Mess is a big one. It doesn\u2019t cost anything but your time to get out and cut the grass and pull the weeds out and give the shrubs a bit of a prune. Just make them look a little bit tidier. That makes a huge difference. Sweep off the paths and things like that. You wouldn\u2019t have people around your house having a messy house, so why do it with your garden?
\nA fresh coat of paint makes a huge difference, as well. If you don\u2019t have the budget to do that, just clean the house down, pressure-wash the house down. That makes a huge difference, as well.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>What about places that have a lot of concrete, big retaining walls, and so on? How do you go about softening those?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Paint will do a lot, as well, but planting is the key there. You want to try to get rid of as many hard edges as you can to make it more inviting.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>It\u2019s interesting. Inside houses, we\u2019ve gone into the area of having big, open spaces \u2013 we\u2019ve seen that \u2013 and good light coming in. What about gardens and fences? Is a fence always a good idea?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>It depends on your market. If you\u2019re in an area that doesn\u2019t have fences between the gardens \u2013 and we\u2019ve done a few houses on Selling Houses<\/i> that don\u2019t \u2013 then having a fence is an odd thing. If everybody has a fence, then having a good fence is a positive thing, if that makes sense.
\nFor garden design, though, it\u2019s really important that you pay attention to what your fences do because that sets the backdrop to everything within the garden. Often, you\u2019ll find I clad a <\/b>fence with some sort of screening or try to hide it with some planting. If you want your space to feel bigger, the lines where fencing meet the ground, where they meet corners, and then when they stop, if you can hide all of that, you trick the eye into knowing where the boundary is, and the space will feel bigger.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Of course, we can always see you on Selling Houses Australia<\/i>, but your own website, InspiredExteriors.com.au, carries a lot of great tips as well, Charlie?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yeah.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Excellent. I expect you to say that. You have lots of videos, as well?
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Actually, I don\u2019t do it. Someone else does it for me. I don\u2019t know.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Okay. It\u2019s great, believe me. I\u2019ve been there. Check it out for yourself. It\u2019s called InspiredExteriors.com.au. My guest has been Charlie Albone from that company, and also designer and landscape designer from Selling Houses Australia<\/i>.
\nCharlie, great talking to you, as always.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>You too, thank you.
\nKevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Give my regards to the team, and we\u2019ll talk again soon.
\nCharlie:\u00a0 <\/b>Absolutely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
