Re: Stockland Landscaping 5Nov 06, 2008 9:44 am Sent my landscaping form to Evergreen Turf (the one stockland provide) yesterday. Have no idea with the plants I selected and how it will look like. I just put the names into Wikipedia and had a rough look. Hope it turns out alright. The tree I select is Japanese Marble. Didn't see it from any of my neighbors front-yard. Hope it is not because it's a tree very hard to maintain. Re: Stockland Landscaping 6Nov 08, 2008 4:15 pm Does anyone know the name of the green plant behind the silver one ( I'm so good with words ) in the Australian bush garden? It looks like a hearty little ground cover that would be great in my garden! Re: Stockland Landscaping 7Nov 22, 2008 3:03 pm MikkyG, the first 3 or 4 homes each side of the corner of the Hawkstowe Parade/Wilton Vale Rd intersection, as you enter the Hawkstowe estate, were landscaped to show examples of the 4 styles Stockland want used on the estate. Have a wander along the street and see what you like.
The styles aren't labelled (I assume because the gardens belong to private residences), but if you have the Design Guidelines booklet, it should be pretty easy to pick the traditional, bold romantic, eco-style and whatever the other one is. Because they've been established a while, you can also see some advanced plants, to give you an idea of how some of your choices might look in a couple of years. As for landscaping designs, I rang and spoke to the landscaping company and all you have to do is to provide a rough sketch and a list of which plants you'd like. You don't have to choose just from one garden type, yu're allowed to mix and match. You can even browse around your local nursery and note down the botanic names of any plants you like that aren't on the list, and they ought to be able to get them for you. One of their guys will arrange to come and meet you and have a chat about what you want and will be able to suggest other options. Our deal includes "turf, mulch and plants" but we do NOT want any kind of grass on our block. 22 years of mowing and living with dead brown grass in summer was plenty, thanks. So I was told we could swap the turf for more mulch or pebbles. Seems there's plenty of flexibility and you're not locked into what you put on the plan. Once you send off your fencing and landscaping request from to Stockland, you'll get an info pack from the landscaper anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how many more plants I need to buy - 2 trees and 30 plants is great, but it's still going to leave a LOT of space.... Sorry Karol - the grey plant looks like a Cushion Bush, but I can't tell what the green groundcover might be. Re: Stockland Landscaping 8Nov 22, 2008 5:17 pm yeah I can't make out enough detail on the pics. The silver one is a WA native from the SW corner near Augusta and Yallingup cusion bush alright. wouldn't it be good if you wanted to know that one and not the one behind Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought. It pays to show your State in your avatar. Retaining wall regulations… 5 7850 Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes. 1 35321 Ideally you would engage a landscaper to give you some insight what they may need in the space to make your vision come to life… 1 13636 |
