Grima's Backyard My philosophy is based around sustainability. As a nation and for the future of this country I believe that we have to learn be sustainable

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. šŸ‹

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.

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.

The before photos really show a garden with rich history and from the past. A garden full of concrete, drought tolerant and very time period of that time in life. Fast forward 30 odd years and it’s time for green grass once again. Soft, green, luscious and a great useable family space. It was certainly a challenge removing 12 cubic metres of concrete, with all sorts of weird and wonderful things uncovered. From old beds, steel spoke car rims and an old wrought iron just to name a few.

The design brief was to create a low maintenance no fuss garden. And as usual it was a pleasure to help create and deliver, just in time for the family to move it to their new home and garden.
