Materials

What we actually put in the ground.

Named products, not “quality materials”. If you’re comparing quotes, this is the page to compare on — it’s where the difference between two prices usually hides.

Lawn

Toro pop-up sprinklers

Toro is what we run on every lawn. They sit flush when they're off so the mower goes straight over them, and the nozzles are matched so every head throws at the same rate — which is what stops you getting one dry corner and one boggy patch.

Garden bedsYour choice

Drip line

Buried under the mulch, drip line puts water straight at the roots with almost nothing lost to evaporation or wind. It's the efficient option and our usual recommendation for beds, especially on the water roster.

Garden bedsYour choice

Micro sprays

The alternative to drip. Micro sprays sit above the mulch and cover a wider area, so they suit dense planting and beds you want to see watering. Easier to check at a glance, slightly less efficient in wind.

Trade-offSome loss to wind and sun
Feature tree

Bubbler to the tree

Your feature tree gets its own bubbler rather than sharing a bed sprinkler. It floods the root zone slowly and deeply, which is exactly what a newly planted 75L tree needs to get established through its first summer.

Corten steel edging

Corten weathers to a deep rust finish and then stops — the surface layer is what protects the steel underneath. It gives you a hard, clean line between lawn and bed that won’t crack, lift or go brittle the way plastic edging does.

Your choice75mm

Environmental mulch

A coarse recycled blend that knits together and stays put, including on a slope and in wind. It breaks down over time and feeds the soil, which is a real advantage in Perth sand.

Your choice75mm

Pine bark mulch

A more uniform, decorative chip in a warm red-brown. It's the tidier look of the two and holds its colour longer, but it's lighter, so it can move in a strong easterly.

2m³ included

Imported soil

2m³ of quality soil brought in to lift and finish levels, spread and graded before anything is planted. On a sand block this is the single most important thing in the whole package — it’s what gives roots something to hold on to.
