Low Maintenance Landscaping Using Retaining Walls.

Clients located at Wynn Vale wanted a semi-formal, low maintenance landscape design for their backyard, featuring split level retaining walls with steps up to a paved platform, artificial grass with stepping stones extending through to a pebble area, surrounded by retained garden beds with plants to be watered by drip irrigation system.

Details of this residential landscaping project at Wynn Vale:

Excavation and removal of 20 tonne of moss rocks, plus 40 tonne of soil,

For the concrete block retaining walls, almond coloured Boral Heathstone® concrete blocks were used with matching bullnose coping.

An ag-pipe drainage system was installed behind all retaining walls to handle water drainage.

Boral Promenade® pavers, 300mm x 300mm with a border using 240mm x 120mm Boral Classicpave® were laid.

Our ‘Burnside’ artificial grass was laid on a compacted quarry rubble/sand base.

Stepping stones using Quantumstone pavers, 800mm x 400mm, were laid on a mortar base through the artificial grass.

The Quantumstone pavers were used again as a path through the landscaping pebbles by the rear gate.

Garden beds were prepared with organic loam and planted out before an organic water saving mulch was added.

A drip irrigation system was installed for low maintenance watering.

Garden path lights and spot lights enhance the garden living use at night.
