Stage two works in the Yarra Valley

It was a beautiful day in the Yarra Valley yesterday to start a Stage 2 landscape at one of our current clients homes.

This is the design incorporating the Stage two works, the pink is the new Billabong and although our clients have changed their minds and are no longer creating the original designed orchard, you can see the updated overlay for the turf and garden bed placement.

The lining is in and the rocks are being lowered into the new Billabong today.  The rocks retain the walls and assist it creating the habitat.  Not to mention, they look magnificent too!

We built this Billabong during the stage 1 landscape works in 2010.

The beauty of a blank canvas!  If you look closely you can see some markings for details of the new landscape.
