PHILOSOPHY
Taking garden displays to another level
Whether you're dissatisfied with the lacklustre imagination used for the exterior decoration of your new home, or looking to enhance an existing property - creating that 'full lush' look is our specialty.
We live in one of the best locations on the planet - the combination of sub-tropical zoning and the prevailing weather conditions make the Sunshine Coast an optimal blend of modern lifestyle engagements with the natural environment. Only a couple of hours South, and certain plants are already finding the conditions challenging; you're beginning to lose that magic balance of climactic conditions for lush tropical, & conversely once you're into Central Queensland to the North, care and protection requirements for display plantings are increased due to exposure.
All this potential is rarely harnessed, as off-the-plan clone gardens prevail throughout newly-constructed suburbs. The ecological unsustainability of clear-fell development is an issue that is only just beginning to be addressed.
A spectacular and engaging display is created by combining a select range of locally-sourced tropicals, situated and grouped according to each plant's specific requirements. This usually requires a site assessment to consider the aspect and Sun exposure, though some good photos of the proposed site are useful when planning what will work where.
While the 'full lush' dense tropical is predicated on optimal conditions, including pre-existing canopy or an element of shade, and solid watering, from experience great results can still be created without the area requiring botanical garden-scale maintenance. Any scope of project can be tailored to site-specific factors like soil condition, budget, or designed to require minimal maintenance.
As an artiste, each project is like a blank canvas; special and unique results are a guaranteed fundamental component of the process; aesthetic appeal is a given.
Check out the Portfolio Gallery page which has some great "before & after" photos, and gives you some ideas about what suits you personally, or what would work best on the site.
Nature as a canvas
We've put together a couple of package deals designed to be planted together to create instant tropical gardens - consisting of a tasteful range of bromeliads, lillium, cordylines, crotons, gingers, palms and colourful foliage.
Starting from $500 installed, for an average coverage of 16m2 planted reasonably tightly.
Other current package deals may also be found here.
Contact us by email to discuss any scope of install, and don't forget to attach some photos which are great for assessing Sun exposure.
