Re: Vundaful's House - Well hello front landscape! 805Sep 20, 2010 8:23 pm Few more plantings in We planted some Syzygium australe (yes... Bush Christmas... but we love it so!) and some matching topiary. The cercis tree has really taken off in the last week or so as the days lengthen and warm. Our grass has started to look a little more like a plant and less like a carpet - and it's finally started seeding in stress (poor thing). More Seasol!

Re: Vundaful's House - Well hello front landscape! 808Sep 25, 2010 2:50 pm Hi Peebs! Yep, they had a pair of fellas go around with a tank of bleach and get it all off. No traces of green left - it was on the day of PCI that they were doing it as I recall Re: Vundaful's House - Well hello front landscape! 809Sep 25, 2010 3:07 pm Thanks V, was wondering cos it says in my contract that they won't take responsibility for vanadium staining , ah well hopefully they get rid of it! Re: Vundaful's House - Well hello front landscape! 810May 08, 2011 12:34 pm Hi everyone! House is coming along nicely, RedInk has been pretty good with follow ups too. Just thought I'd update you all on our front garden, which we have just finished plant-wise. We still have a bit of hardscaping to do (a water fountain + pebble path with pavers) but it looks done, more or less! Here are the plants that we chose to fill in the garden bed (clockwise from top left). These are in addition to the Bush Christmas hedge/topiary and Chinese Redbud feature tree (which has its own thread, haha): Dianella ensifolia "Silver Border" Kangaroo Paw hybrid "Big Red" Dianella prunina "Utopia" Eremophila glabra "Kalbarri Carpet" Patersonia occidentalis "Purple Flag" (native iris) Phormium tenax "Bronze Baby" Re: Vundaful's House - Front Garden Update May 2011 811May 08, 2011 1:45 pm Looks great v! my new build thread- Ben Trager https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89826 my switch build thread (2011) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36569 Re: Vundaful's House - Front Garden Update May 2011 812May 27, 2011 12:03 am Looks great!!

Re: Vundaful's House - Front Garden Update May 2011 813Jul 30, 2013 8:01 pm Hey V I'm building in the Helena valley views stage 2 and I was just wondering what your site works cost was ? Re: Vundaful's House - Front Garden Update May 2011 814Jul 30, 2013 9:18 pm Hi Clarkey, this is going back awhile but our site costs were pretty low, not more than $7000. Our developer had levelled the blocks and built up the footing with construction sand and I believe that this played a big part in keeping costs down. I would assume that the new places going in up the road will be similar as the developers leave the blocks easy to access and build on Re: Vundaful's House - Front Garden Update May 2011 816Jul 31, 2013 11:24 pm No problems, and welcome to the neighbourhood! It's a great place if I do say so I engaged my builder in December last year and we’ve been working on preliminary drawings for last couple of months. I got a call from the salesperson this morning… 0 639 Fig Landscapes has produced an e-book and native plant index, available for purchase from their website.
