Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1266Nov 09, 2015 12:03 am Wow your house is so beautiful and I just love the shape of the ariel shot Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1267Nov 19, 2015 12:16 pm Well baby steps... but we have been getting along with some front gardens, i'm now 90% happy with front grass coverage, it looks good enough from the street now, we have completed the garden beds along the front of the house just need a few more plants to fill them out, have also started a small hedge around the inside of the driveway we have so far done about 50% of this garden and started to fill with hedges... Next up is to finish that inside garden bed and hedges, then move over to the side boundary where we will plant out the neighbors house with lilly pilly then towards the front do some smaller hedge style so we still keep security and visibility to the entire front... here's a pic showing some of the gardens... at night http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/porte_zpsvn4hsxsr.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1268Nov 19, 2015 6:24 pm Here's what we've done so far with the front gardens. I got a trailer load of new plants today to fill them a bit more http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/Forever%20House/BE90FEC1-7AFB-469C-8FDF-C088B4BD7320_zpsttyy6enq.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/Forever%20House/C6BB8AAB-6872-4262-A9E4-EF1BE57E58A2_zpsvp8wr695.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/Forever%20House/C0485976-A93F-4C48-B34A-7E3361695F15_zpsjgi741mu.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1269Nov 19, 2015 6:37 pm Our Build Thread: The "Extended" Marina by Visionone Homes Our Inspirations: Frank Lloyd Wright | Houzz Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1270Nov 19, 2015 7:19 pm Looks amazing Mr Bee.

Love that pointy/spikey plant growing in what looks like white marble chip. Doesn't look bee-friendly though Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1274Nov 20, 2015 5:59 am Hootie THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you still want to put some sort of covering over the entrance concrete to connect more to the front door steps but still undecided as to what that will be. Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1276Nov 20, 2015 6:04 am Tribe7 Looking great mr bee, the front gardens will fill up nicely. Ohhh exciting with the new plants they will look great once planted. Thanks, I don't want to over crowd them still want them to be nice and simple I'm pretty much happy with fillment of one side I just have to even them up a bit. The plants I got from a friendly local were dwarf Rhoeo (the purple/green you can see) I find it's a great space filler with a bit of colour that multiplies easily. I was lucky enough to find a lady redoing her gardens down the road so scored them all for free which was awesome.

IssyandOzzy ____________________________ Our New Gen build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=73924 TomCat Me too! Love that pointy/spikey plant growing in what looks like white marble chip. Doesn't look bee-friendly though Thanks the the Rhoeo I love the variance in colour gives the garden some life. Was hard to find white rocks that complemented the driveway and house! Went to a couple landscapers looking for something suitable but all white tone rocks were about $330 per m3 and they weren't even white! I ended up finding these ones which are nice and white with a bit of speckle for 1/3 the price. We are going to use this rock for all our garden beds so they look uniform and look nice and crisp against the green plants and grass Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Final Pics pg. 1278Nov 21, 2015 5:24 am Never heard of rhoeo. Just looked them up ... No good down here -- die if temps drop below 6 degrees. (Can overnight in winter). Great plan with the white stone. Beautiful house.

I think the frost might be what kills them??? You could always try them. They do how ever get massive and spread.
