Gardening in Epping: Providing a Stunning Makeover

At Appleseed Gardening, we take pride in transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary gardens. Our recent gardening project in Epping is a testament to our dedication and expertise in garden design and landscaping.

Before the Transformation

This front garden was initially overrun with a mass of large grasses, New Zealand Flax, and weeds. The area lacked structure and aesthetic appeal, making it an uninviting entrance to the home. Our team was tasked with clearing this outdoor space and creating a garden that would not only look beautiful but also be low-maintenance and sustainable.

Clearing & Soil Enrichment

The first step in our process was to clear the area of the overgrown grasses and weeds. We then focused on enriching the soil to ensure it would support the new plants. Healthy soil is the foundation of any thriving garden, and we made sure to use organic compost and natural soil enhancers to improve its quality.

Defining the Garden Beds

To bring structure and definition to the garden, we installed steel edging. This durable and stylish solution clearly defines the different garden beds, giving the area a neat and organised look. The steel edging also helps to keep the mulch and river stones in place, reducing garden maintenance needs.

Adding Aesthetic Elements: River Stone & Mulch

Next, we spread river stone and mulch throughout the garden beds. River stones add a natural, elegant touch to the landscape, while mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil as it decomposes. The combination of these materials not only enhances the garden’s appearance but also promotes plant health.

Planting with Purpose

Using our extensive horticultural knowledge, we chose to plant a mix of succulents, grasses, and low shrubs. These plants are well-suited to the climate and require minimal watering, making them an eco-friendly choice. Succulents add texture and variety with their unique shapes and colours, while grasses and shrubs provide structure and greenery.

Installing an Automated Irrigation System

To ensure the garden remains lush and healthy with minimal effort, we installed a fully automated irrigation system. This system efficiently waters the plants, saving time and water while ensuring that each plant receives the optimal amount of hydration.

Creating a Private Oasis

Privacy is an important aspect of any garden, and in this project, we used our experience in landscape construction to address it creatively. We constructed a hanging basket frame using hardwood, cemented securely into the soil. This sturdy frame supports a dozen hanging baskets, each planted with mixed hangers. These baskets not only add vertical interest to the garden but also provide a natural screen, enhancing the sense of privacy.

The Final Result

The transformation of this front garden in Epping is truly remarkable. What was once an overgrown, uninviting space is now a beautiful, functional garden that enhances the curb appeal of the home. The combination of structured garden beds, diverse plantings, and thoughtful features like the irrigation system and hanging baskets create a welcoming and serene environment.
