Terraced Garden Revival

Project location: North St Marys, NSW
Category: Retaining wall construction & native planting
Completion: Feb 2024

Steep gradients caused soil erosion and unusable space. We engineered sandstone block terraces with hidden ag-pipe drainage, installed sandstone steps and filled beds with drought-tolerant natives. The back yard gained 42 m² of level entertaining area.

CBD Courtyard Makeover

Project location: Sydney CBD, NSW 2000
Category: Landscape design, paving & irrigation
Completion: Nov 2023

A shaded, dated courtyard lacked flow. Our design introduced porcelain pavers, a slimline drip irrigation loop and layered subtropical planting to thrive in low light. Custom bench seating now invites alfresco lunches.

Family Backyard Refresh

Project location: Inner West Sydney NSW
Category: Turf installation & garden maintenance
Completion: May 2024

Uneven lawn and tired beds kept kids indoors. We re-graded the yard, laid Sir Walter DNA Certified turf, mulched beds with cypress chips and set up a seasonal maintenance plan. Playtime is now barefoot-ready.
"From weeds to wow in under a week. Outstanding team!" – Priya S.
