Landscaping Mount Lawley

Scope of Works

This Landscape project was completed in the Perth Suburb of Mount Lawley. As Landscaping contractors we service this area regularly and can also offer the service of Landscape Design.

Our job was to install a new lawn and create a garden bed around the perimeter of the lawn. When we had originally quoted the Landscaping project we had discovered what is fairly typical in Mount Lawley Landscaping jobs and that is very sandy soil. This soil has very little nutrients in it and also will not retain or hold water well. It was obvious we needed to improve what was there. We also had to be conscious of the budget of our client and worked in with them to achieve the result they wanted. We were able to supply smaller plants instead of larger ones which would grow over time and this resulted in a saving.

Good site preparation is essential

We dug out the lawn area and removed a good amount of sandy soil in preparation for a good soil foundation to the lawn.

Planting with good fertilizer and mulch

We separated the lawn and garden area with designer Hedge Edging http://www.hedge.net.au/

What we did

We planted a Lilly Pilly Hedge around the perimeter of the lawn. The plants where small when we planted them but will grow over time. We installed good soil to the plants along with sheep manure and slow release fertilizer. We then mulched the garden beds thickly with Jarrah Wood Chips.

Velvetene lawn chosen for a soft touch and formal appearance

We installed a thick layer of good soil to the lawn area and then levelled it out nicely. We then turned on the reticulation (existing) and wet the area down for few minutes to firm it up before laying. Once it was wet down we fertilized the area well with Dynamic Lifter and also ECO PRIME RED which is a slow release fertilizer.

We were now ready for laying the lawn. The lawn type we had decided to go with was Velveteen ( available through Superior Lawns Australia http://velvetene.com.au/about/). It has a number of characteristics that people love, one of the main ones is it has a velvet touch and is very soft. It is also very formal looking and can be mown down to 3mm. We installed the lawn and then turned the reticulation on for a few minutes to wet it down. If it’s hot it’s important to do this when installing as the lawn may have been out all day in the heat and will be thirsty. Once we had done this we then compacted the lawn well to help smooth out any bumps and get rid of air pockets. It helps if the lawn is wet when you compact as otherwise the compactor moves very slowly and can grip on the lawn.

Presentation is key

We swept up and then hosed the entire area down including surrounding paths. This is one of the most important parts of the job as presentation is key.

Great result and Happy customers.

Our front yard in Karrinyup was completely transformed in March 2015. In just one week, the team completed the job of removing what was there, replaced the topsoil, installed the reticulation and mulched with native plants. Four months on we are still so impressed with the job and delighted that we used Luke’s Landscaping. Highly recommended!

I used Luke’s Landscaping to provide an overhaul of my front lawn with the task to reduce the amount of lawn and increase the low maintenance area including a rock feature. Also, they were used to provide a major landscaping overhaul for my Daughter’s back garden including lawns, garden beds and low water usage reticulation. All work was carried out within the agreed time schedule. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The work completed with efficiency, and all aspects were well-coordinated. The materials used were of a good quality that enhances the finished product.My daughter and I are very pleased with results.

I take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. This is the second time I have used your services. Not only because you did such a good, clean and efficient job, but also the fact you responded to my inquiry in a professional and timely manner unlike many others who I had to recall and I still couldn’t get any response. I would also like to thank your staff who worked diligently until the job was done to our satisfaction particularly giving my wife and myself peace of mind. Therefore, I will always recommend your services to any family or friends, in fact if you need to send any prospective clients to view our garden feel free to do so. If you require any verbal reference feel free to have your client contact me. We wish you all the success in the future with your business.

I have used Luke’s Landscaping to do a major overhaul to the landscaping at my house and lots of other makeovers at my rental properties in the last three years. The professional service, fantastic results and the quick turnaround has meant that Luke is the first guy I call for my landscaping needs. I have been thrilled with the results and pleased with the attention to detail. I am happy to recommend this business.
