Grima's Backyard

I had the pleasure once again to work on a brand new build. The brief was short and sweet, as the new homeowners just wanted something which was low maintenance but had the potential for so much more in the future. 🍋

Planting our seedlings for next season. It is very important we educate our children on where our fruits and vegetables come from.
Here is Charli planting eggplant, tomatoes, chilli, corn, cucumber and passionfruit😊

This is why I love what I do😊
Thank you for your kind words- it inspires me to keep making gardens beautiful, sustainable and useable.

It’s not very often when you get the same job request from the fellow neighbour. Exact same problem but two totally different directions and therefore outcomes, to suit each neighbours personal preference.

Unfortunately the existing front yard was unloved due to a large un healthy Liquid amber tree, which was sucking the life out of the existing vegetation. Once the tree was safely removed the front yard was revived.

The project brief was to solve flooding issues in the back lawn area. Unfortunately the backyard was unusable due to excess pooling of water. The process included rotary hoeing existing soil, constructing a series of drainage trenches consisting of 90mm PVC (back filled with scoria) installing a Wifi irrigation system, some new turf underlay then layed out with some new turf. It was so rewarding to see the excess water from the irrigation overflowing into the storm water pit. #jobwelldone #jobexecuted #problemsolved #projectbrief #viridianvelvet #buffalo #turf #drainage #drainagesolutions #slottedpvcpipe #wifi #wifiirrigation #irrigation #backyard #backgarden #beforeandafter #landscape #landscaping #happy #rotaryhoe #australturf

It was a pleasure to uplift and update this tired terrace courtyard. It is now a usable and enjoyable space.

The path to no where.
Some before and after photos of this quick little makeover which was a great addition for Christmas lunch.

Nice little courtyard makeover, just in time for Christmas lunch. Still have some space before Christmas if you would like a mini makeover, so please feel free to contact me.

Project brief: hide existing concrete service pits without using any structural materials. Soil conditioner was first added to improve soil quality to help with plant growth. After soil was improved a mixture of Pittosporum (golf balls) Star Jasmines and a Weeping cherry were added, and then topped up with some mulch.
