Our Instafeed
This one is special.❤️
Earlier this year, we had the privilege of designing and constructing a brand new outdoor playspace and yarning circle at Hamilton North Public School, and this video tells the full story of how it came together.
From the traditional Aboriginal smoking ceremony that opened the space, to the kids who now get to enjoy it every single day, this project was about so much more than landscaping.
You’ll hear from Principal Fiona on what the space means for the school and the journey it took to get here. From our Landscape Designer Shannon on the thinking and care that went into the design. From Nicole at Orica, whose generous contribution helped make this possible. From Tim Crakanthorp, MP for Newcastle, on the significance of yarning circles and the impact they have on young people. And from Jason, on why projects like this are exactly the reason JRL exists.
Creating Beautiful Memories has always been more than a tagline for us. It’s the reason Jason started this business 26 years ago, and moments like this are the ones that remind us why we keep showing up.
We hope the kids at Hamilton North enjoy this space for many, many years to come.

Throwing it back to one of our all time favourites.
Pool surrounds, a statement pergola, and stone cladding feature walls that tie the whole space together. This Louth Park project is the kind of build that stays with you.
We didn’t design this one, but we built it, and we’re pretty proud of how it came together.
Some projects just hit different. This is one of them.🙌

A full walkthrough of our recently finished Corlette project, straight from Jason himself.
From the first design concept to the last detail on site, watch as Jason walks you through everything the team brought to life at this one. We’re really proud of how this space came together.
This is just the beginning of what we’ll be sharing from Corlette. Plenty more to come. 👀

Materials 101✍️
The materials we choose are what gives a space its character.
Its warmth, its texture, its personality.
Like our Louth Park project, with concrete pool coping, powder-coated steel posts, aluminium slat fencing + laser cut screening panels.
•
#poolsurrounds #lasercutscreens #materials
Travertine pavers + sandstone boulders.
Travertine paving is timeless, durable, and only gets better with age.
•
#travertinepavers #sandstone
Sandstone block retaining wall + steps.
Sandstone catches the light like nothing else. A material that’s been used for centuries, and it’s easy to see why.
•
#sandstonewall #sandstonesteps
Crazy pave retaining wall + spotted gum steps.
Warm timber meets cool stone, the kind of combination that makes a space feel considered.
•
#crazypave #spottedgum
Composite decking + concrete steppers + white pebble.
Composite decking provides the look of timber without the upkeep. Low maintenance, high impact.
•
#compositedecking #concretesteps
Concrete breeze block wall + white rendered concrete bench seat.
Privacy doesn’t have to be boring. Concrete breeze screening adds texture and interest while doing a practical job.
•
#breezeblocks #decorativescreens
Rendered concrete curved seat + lush turfing.
Concrete doesn’t have to be cold. A smooth rendered finish and a curved form can completely transform the feel of a space.
•
#curvedlines #rendered
Sandstone block steps + white gravel + corten steel fire pit.
Corten steel develops its rust like patina naturally over time, so no two fire pits ever look exactly the same.
•
#cortenfirepit #whitegravel
Natural stone dry stack feature wall + travertine paving.
Dry stack walling is a craft. Every piece is placed by hand to create something that’s both structural and stunning.
•
#drystack #featurewall
Travertine paving + frameless glass fencing + aluminium slat screen.
Three materials, one cohesive space. Travertine underfoot, frameless glass for an open feel, and aluminium slats for privacy. Each doing their own job beautifully.
