Landscape rebuild

[Jimi]

After a lot of digging, monument fence paint, merbau deck extension and lighting, retainer walls and my first build with render to make a bench seat, my son now has somewhere to play. No tradies used other than a concreter. 90% of materials as always, from Bunnings.

Hi again @Jimi,

We've had a question on Instagram about what plants you used along the fenceline. Could you please let us know?

Thanks again,

Jason

Hi,

I have used Sasanqua Camillia's along the fence line. They can be hedged and have nice white flowers. In 3 months they have grown from about 200mm in height to over 1000mm tall.

Hi

What are the small trees called in the second photo?  Which cardinal direction are they in?

[Jason]

Thanks for joining in the discussion @Wy. Let me tag @Jimi for you so he is alerted to your question about the old trees that were removed. 

Welcome to the Workshop community,

Hi Wy. I removed those trees but the ones on the left I think were like a Silver Sheen and the one on the right I think was an Apple Tree. They were North facing.

I love the render seat ... do you have specs on how you built it ?
