This garden was designed to replace a dry, spiky landscape with a soft, classic scheme centered around the client's love of camellias.  Facing harsh western sun, the site required significant environmental modifcation to support these shade-loving plants.    We introduced strategic tree placement, amended the soil with kaolin clay and acid-rich mix, installed a robust water-efficient reticulation system and selected underplanting to retain moisture and reduce heat stress.  A 300L Malus Eleyi Crabapple from Ellenby is the guardian of this green space for the lovely residents. 

Our clients had a vision: a garden that reflects the natural beauty of Western Australia's unique landscape. With features like a frog hotel, a compost bin, a bee lounge, and lizard-friendly habitat spaces, this garden is designed to harmonise with nature.

The result is a stunning, modern native garden that promises to attract birds and native wildlife in the short, medium, and long term. We sourced mature trees from Grasstrees Australia, Ellenby, and Tony & Sons to bring this rewarding project to life.

The brief? Just one word: lush. This custom horticultural design brings bold tropical energy to a raised planter in the heart of Perth. A soft, pet-safe understorey pairs with mature rainforest trees, that grow to a size that suits the space and kickstart a protective microclimate.

The tailored soil mix includes perlite and biochar for long-term structure, pH balance, and durability—supporting a thriving root zone in this richly planted space.

A flat, water-hungry lawn now a flowing, waterwise landscape uniting verge and front garden. Public footpath now winds through, rather than skimming the landscape edge.

Repeated Bay Laurels accentuate the curved verge, bringing rhythm and structure.  Evergreen planting complements red brick, bringing height, shade, and cooling to a once-exposed western frontage.

The brief was to install gardens and reticulation for a new-build, six-unit site. We carefully selected appropriate plant and tree species, amended the soil, and designed and installed a high-spec reticulation layout, supported by Nutrien Water.

The unit owners are now set for success with a sustainable, modern-Australian softscape that will continue to be low maintenance, providing environmental and economic value for the property in the long term.

This project involved removing the top 100mm of verge, laying new turf & designing and installing reticulation and a small garden bed.

Reticulation was run under the pavement, enabling a high-spec design supported by Nutrien Water. The level verge was expertly executed by IC Green's skilled dingo operator. Greenlife Soil Co's rich organic underlay ensured the new turf thrived.

A classic green & white formal garden perfectly complements the existing charming architecture.

This project aimed to create a native, relaxed-formal, accessible garden that enhances local biodiversity.

100mm of topsoil was removed, reducing the weed seed bank and the sand enriched with amendments and native soil mix.  Aquamor mulch protected the young native plants, and mature native trees by Ellenby, added to the landscape's authenticity.

The result is an attractive, resilient native garden that will continue evolving in the hands of its nurturing, eco-savvy clients.
