Landcorp Demonstration Garden Seville Grove

The Great Gardens team gets the opportunity show them how it’s really done.

Revolution Road, Seville Grove is Landcoprs latest sustainable subdivion showcasing some of the finest, energy efficent designed buildings. The Great Gardens team takes center stage at the main entrance with a sustainable West Australian native garden.

Over several weeks two ordinary house blocks were converted to showcase as an example of a sustainable garden. One of the concepts that it made a point of was the use of native plants and ground covers as an alternative to lawn particularly on verges. Although, lawn has been used in both designs, it is in a minimalist manner. Pathways feature heavily in both for access as well a structure.

A third block was also converted over a 24 hour period to host the final 2008 Great Gardens workshop series. Six people work from dusk till dawn to make the event possible. Local business promoting sustainable ideas were also involved including those from the area of, solar energy, hot water, rainwater tanks, grey water systems, grass trees, native landscaping, designers and the nurseries all made the day possible with great success. Big Thanks everyone.

Bibra Lake Commercial Subdivision

Landcorp’s first sustainable commercial subdivision is heading in the right direction. It is aimed at being a waterwise, eco-friendly development that promotes the use of local endemic plants as an alternative to grass, waterwise drip irrigation systems across the board and energy and water efficient building designs.

Sustainable Outdoors has been contracted to undertake all of the verge landscaping throughout the subdivision with the use of densely planted native ground covers, installation of drip irrigation systems and mulching. Our influence in the project has seen a wider selection of native plants to be used and the installation of high quality irrigation systems.

Once complete the verges will become a self-sustainable landscape once established, not needing as much water as grass, not needing regular mowing/maintenance or the use of fertiliser.

We look forward to our continued involvement with projects like this one that have greater outcomes.
