This weeks job....
A back garden Ivanhoe.
Our client need to reduce the maintenance and add some interest so we removed alot of lawn.
This allowed us to increase the depth of the garden beds so we can add more layers of drought tolerant, hardy plants and plenty of chunky mulch to prevent w**d growth.
In the next few weeks paving, stepping stones and compacted toppings will be installed.

We have been landscaping and maintaining the garden at this Lower Plenty property over the past 12 + years.
Colac rock, compacted topping pathways and mainly native plant selection give it a natural feel to blend in with the beautiful established Gum trees.
We had a misty start this morning.

Its Oxalis time of year again.
Oxalis is a bulbous w**d which is very problematic.
Once it is in your garden, the bulbs multiply and spread very easily.
Over the years there have been a number of herbicides produced that can kill oxalis, however they have always been non-selectors, killing surrounding vegetation so hand w**ding is the best solution.

As well as gardening we also offer Bee keeping services. We can test you hive for Varroa mite and assist with treatment.
