These plants are in the wild, this look can be acheived domestically but it does take time. There are only a couple of different plants in this shot. Basically just low growing Hebe's, Tussocks and Grasses.

The New Years Day 2010 fire in Roxburgh our home town is a reminder that you need to be careful where you plant. Careful plant selection can reduce the fire risk and certain plants do not burn well at all but some such as Manuka and Tussocks are very flammable. This fire was fanned by northerly winds with an air temperature of 35 Deg when it started so anything even slightly combustible burned.

Simple plantings of large snow tussocks are effective. We believe placement should be quite random as it is in nature.

Steps and pathways create interset, where do they go ?

We installed these steps for a client off a deck with
a designer garden and it gives the sense of going to
somewhere new..?

This is a scrubby look but fits in well in certain settings. Once again there are only a few different plants here.

In this instance we worked in with a designer and the client's, sourced the plants and carried out the planting according to the supplied plans.

Tussocks, grasses and low growing hebe.

Mixed native shrubs and tussocks in their natural environment. Unfortunately we can't supply the mountains !

This bank is being prepared for mass planting. Mass planting helps prevent overgrowth of undesirable plants (weeds)

This area was cleared of pine trees and is ideal for native planting. Plants were selected to blend in with the fence.

Roadside plantings need some consideration so that they do not create any hazards. Road noise can be minimised buy using certain planting patterns and suitable plants. A staggered planting is usually best.

Waste areas like this are suited to mass plantings. Mass planting helps prevent overgrowth of pest plants.

This area had been planted for three years when this photo was taken and looks quite natural.
