New property landscaping in Bittern

29/5/2015

 
We recently completed landscaping for two brand new properties in Bittern on the Mornington Peninsula.

Side by side these two properties only had mud and dirt, but were finished with a complete landscape design and construction. 

Both properties had different owners, one was looking to sell and the other would be a rental. Both owners wanted a low-maintenance garden design with quality concreting in the front and back. 


Property A. 

Charcoal colour crete was used to concrete the drive-way and garden beds were constructed. Weed matting was laid and topped with black mulch. Our clients chose to plant their own plants. 

The front yard was seeded and with all the rain should grow well in no time.

This home is now ready to sell!!

Property B.

Exposed aggregate concreting was laid in this drive-way and a low-maintenance rock garden design was implemented. 

The retained garden beds were constructed and weed mat was laid, topped with river pebbles to create a low-maintenance garden design for this rental property. 

Drought tolerant plants were chosen that could survive in the clay soil present in the area. Our client wanted to have native plants in the garden and so we chose a contemporary style of landscaping and included plants that would soften the rock garden and create a visual impact from the street.

Electric Pink Cordyline were planted to give the garden a focal point and create an instant sculptural statement to the garden design. These plants are low-maintenance and in time will clump, creating a stylish contrast to the brick work and rock garden.

We added this small plant with the commercial name Silver Nugget. This silver cushion bush is very hardy and will grow to a 50x50cm clump. This beauty is great for coastal areas and in time will make a striking contrast to the garden design with its silver foliage and tiny yellow button flowers in spring. With low water requirements these nuggets are perfect!

The front garden design was completed with  4 x Lime Tuff from the Lomandra species which are a bright green native grass, have low water needs and will grow to 50cm wide.  

We also added three red fountain grasses, a native know as Pennisetum setaceum "Rubrum". This beauty has burgundy coloured foliage and will bear pink flower spikes in the summer months creating bold and dramatic colour to the rock garden. 



Out the back


The back of the house will be kept tidy and mud free with pebbles and square pavers.

The backyard was laid with exposed aggregate concreting and a wrap around garden bed was constructed with a wood platform landing. 

This small courtyard landscape design is perfect for entertaining friends, just add a table and bbq to finish it off.

Out the back we planted more Lime Tuff grasses and 3 bright green cushion like plants known as "Scleranthus biflorus".

Along the fence we also planted some "Everygreen Baby" and "Patersonia- long purple flag" along the fence. 
The tenants to this house will be very lucky!

We want to wish both our clients all the very best on these two homes. We definitely had fun working in the wet, rain and mud!!
