Shade trees and feature plantings can have many great benefits as to shade the side of the house which in turn will reduce costs on cooling your home in summer. They can add extra privacy from street fronts or neighbouring houses not to forget reduce noise from surrounding properties, all not forgetting the aesthetic appeal adding value to your property and being the envy of your neighbours.

With a BSA structural landscape license, irrigation and drainage license, current qualifications and a whole lot of experience Greenscene Gardenscope can repair damages caused by Brisbanes flooding including insurance claims for retaining walls, paving, drainage, decks, and general landscaping. Flooding can have an undermining affect on large and even small trees with saturated grounds. Strong winds can uproot trees sending them crashing down. Ground water can also be banked up behind poorly drained retaining walls and structures putting added weight and pressure on the footings and walls. Wet areas in properties may require sub surface drainage to remove stagnant water which not only causes structural problems but is also a breeding ground for mosquitoes. With the ability to laser level sites to ascertain true indications of possible scenarios and solutions we can certainly assist to improve the situation. We strongly believe in building all our work to last the test of time. With strong footings and prep work come strong structures and landscapes. All too often we see poorly constructed retaining walls, paving, decking, irrigation, drainage, and even gardens and plant selections.  Let us, professional fully equipped structural landscapers assist with works around your homes. We encourage you to look at our website for our qualifications and past jobs at www.greenscenegardenscope.com.au .

www.greenscenegardenscope.com.au landscaping design and construct aesthetic and sustainable landscapes. Conveniently located Between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Greenscene Gardenscope’s central location allows us to source materials from a wider range of suppliers and ensures our clients receives quality materials and prompt service every time.

A recent landscaping project undertaken in Brisbanes inner suburb of Alderly presented narrow and tight access, a issue becoming more prominent with Brisbane and Sunshine Coast landscape projects. As presented by our landscape before and after pictures, the landscape works in this site were to be quite extensive given that there was no machine access.

Landscape works included terracing the backyard for aesthetics. This was to be created by manually shaping the existing surface, installing a Tasman GB block wall and importing top soil. A drainage issue from higher neighbouring properties was considered. A sub surface drainage system utilizing 100mm socked agg drain was installed along side and rear fence lines to minimize in flows. Two surface pits were also installed below retaining wall to cater for extensive rainfall periods common in South East Queenslands storm season.

This landscape construction photo shows Greenscene Gardenscope landscapers with landscape works underway. Laser levels are used constantly throughout the project ensuring accurate levels are attained for structural landscape and drainage works.

The aesthetic appeal of the landscape was created using 400mm pavers as steppers with a decorative gravel in fill. A paver border edged the path, gardens and lawn areas. Soft Sir Walter Buffalo was chosen for the lawn as it is ideal for childrens play, shade tolerant and has low water requirement. A Balinese planting theme was selected to soften the straight lines used in the structural landscapes. Plant selections included MaCarthurii palm, various Cordylines, Song of India, Crotons, various Bromeliads, Liriope stripey whites and Xanadu. A hardy selection using colour foliage plants to create a low maintenance garden with year round colour.

Automated irrigation was installed to garden areas using a low flow micro irrigation system, with dual tank water and town water supply. Elegant stainless steel garden lighting complemented the project. These were used as up lights spaced along the centre of the path, with mini spot lights highlighting the garden features and subtle bollard lighting spaced around the garden borders.

Greenscene Gardenscope designed this landscape as a low maintenance, modern style landscape with a Balinese influence. Greenscene Gardenscope cater for all aspects of landscape from courtyards to commercial. Please consider www.greenscenegardenscope.com.au to create a sustainable landscape package.

Over the  last 6 months Greenscene Gardenscope Landscapes and Irrigation  have been busy designing and creating a range of landscape solutions from Brisbane city to the Sunshine Coast. Our work has been a balance of both landscaping for the private, commercial and government sectors.

Industrial landscape work has been significant with landscaping required in new industrial areas of Narangba , Caboolture and Brendale. We also have seen demand for renovation landscapes in established industrial areas of Clontarf, Geebung and Newstead as company’s lift their presentation standards. Our Industrial and commercial landscape has included landscape and irrigation works for factory’s, shop fronts, units and schools. A recent government project saw us completely remodel a tired outdoor lunch area to create a fresh,contemporary recreation area. Landscape works included a combination of  a paved area covered by a shade sail, lawns, gardens with paved edges and paved stepper path meandering through the lawn area. See our web site ‘walk through one of our jobs’ for details of this project.

Residential landscapes are definitely in demand as Brisbane’s renovating boom continues. Landscaping renovations in areas such as  Sandgate, Redcliffe, Bridgeman Downs, Ascot, Hamilton and most other areas of the Brisbane’s  inner northern suburbs combining with landscapes for new homes in areas such as Warner, North lakes, Narangba, Pacific harbour Bribie Island, Sippy Downs and Caloundra has certainly seen us doing some miles.  Our jobs have included a soft fall children’s play area, paved alfresco / patio settings, timber and block retaining walls , designer gardens, drainage, turfing, timber privacy screens, water features, garden lighting, vegie gardens and more.

Thankfully over summer Brisbane’s gardens and landscapes had good rain, and more importantly so did Brisbane’s dams. With near full capacity, irrigation systems can now be used but must meet ‘QLD Water Commission’s Efficient Irrigation System Guidelines.’ Irrigation products now available are more efficient than ever, and along with the right balance of structural or hard landscapes, well selected plants / lawns and good preparation everyone can have that beautiful landscape that makes a house a home.

Keep an eye out for a detailed review of recent projects, coming soon….
