Project overview
From brief to finished garden
The brief
A family wine estate needed its gardens to look their best for visitors every weekend without disrupting the working farm.
Our approach
We redesigned the entrance and tasting room gardens, upgraded the irrigation to borehole water on smart controllers, and took over weekly maintenance with a dedicated crew.
The result
The estate now hosts weddings and events on its lawns, and irrigation water use fell by 40 percent after the upgrade.
What we delivered
- Entrance and tasting room gardens
- Event lawns
- Borehole-fed irrigation
- Weekly dedicated crew
- Seasonal colour beds
- Monthly supervisor reports
Plants and materials
- Olive and oak trees
- Lavender and rosemary hedges
- Indigenous shrubs
- Borehole irrigation
- Gravel courtyards
