Sustainability can mean different things in different contexts.

In context of the landscapes we create, sustainability means: 

 

• Organic based soil conditioners

• Biodegradable weed control techniques

• Minimal use of herbicides

• Precise plant choice for environmental conditions

• Well proven planting techniques

• Excellent planning

• Mulching of all plantings

• Locally sourced materials such as mulch and compost

• Minimal tilage of soil

• Promotion of organic matter content in soil

• Well thought out erosion control techniques

• Minimal and efficient use of irrigation

• Thoughtful plant choices and landscape features to provide

        habitate for and encourage beneficial insects, birds, lizards,

        frogs and other helpful animals.

• Promoting and creating permeable surfaces to maximise on site use of rainwater and to prevent run off and storm water pollution.

• The use of plants that require little of no pruning
