With its insulated panel this outdoor structure provides roofing, insulation and a smooth beautiful ceiling in one product. The Stratco Outback Cooldek is built to last and has outstanding thermal performance which is the perfect solution for outdoor entertaining and relaxation in the fresh air on the Mornington Peninsula.
We recently transformed a backyard in Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula into a low maintenance outdoor oasis. Our busy client wanted a garden design and backyard landscape that she could enjoy and entertain guests, that was easy to maintain and complemented her existing landscape. The landscape construction consisted of a wrap around retaining wall with drainage, steps to the upper level, steel edging to define garden beds, exposed aggregate concrete slab to entertain and a feature batten privacy screen with gate. A fire pit area became the focal point of the landscape design with two custom built large bench seats, a corten steel fire pit bowl and wood stacker and corten ring garden bed frames. Low maintenance and beautiful succulents were planted in the corten rings. Dromana toppings and Indian sand stone pavers were chosen to create that relaxed coastal vibe. Our client loves her new outdoor garden and entertaining area and so do we. Recycled apple crates are a great, cost effective landscaping solution for growing vegetables in your garden.
Our clients in Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula, had a space they wanted to create a veggie garden and so we got to work to make it happen. The area had a sloping bank and uneven surface, so the first step was to build a retaining wall to create a flat and solid platform which could be built upon. A circular retaining wall was chosen to create a flow in design for the natural area which would be complemented by steel edging. The centre of the area was filled with crushed rock and topped with Dromana toppings. Five square recycled apple crates were positioned symmetrically in the area with even spacing all around. The apple crates were prepared by first lining them with weed mat to allow for water drainage, and then heavy duty building plastic was lined around the sides. The crates were then half filled with scoria which is a light building material, with high drainage, that is used behind retaining walls. Mushroom mulch was mixed with top soil and applied on top. This mix provides nutrients to the garden as the fruit and veggies grow. Lastly an olive tree was positioned in the centre to finish the look. The gardens are now bursting full of lots of delicious home grown fruit and veggies that our clients love including kale, broccoli, lettuce, spring onion, strawberries, basil, tomato and more! |
