Feel free to share this with family and friends. For those of you with gear drive or MP Rotator sprinklers please understand that these need to run for longer than standard popup sprays.

When a pop up spray runs the water falls on the whole area within the range of the sprinkler for the full run time. That's why they can run for ten minutes and deliver sufficient water. Gear drives and MP Rotators rotate, so they're only watering a thin strip at a time as they rotate, so they have to run four or so times as long as a popup spray. The main reason a lot of people use them is they cover large areas with fewer sprinklers, so the initial outlay is lower. It's gotten hot quickly, so make sure you adjust your watering times, and make sure everything is working, or you'll end up with a crispy, spiky lawn!

Cheers, and happy Friday.

Spring has well and truly sprung for the year. Lush green grass, colourful garden beds and warmth in the air. What a fantastic day!

Artificial Lawn and Limestone Retaining

The rain came on early, so the plants are yet go in, but what a difference!! Reclaimed about 10+ square metres of space from overgrown lantanas, w**ds and grass.

Wait, Its Not a Fertiliser? | Landscape - Build & Maintain | Perth | Permagreen Lawn and Landscapes

Hi all, with the weekend upon us I thought I'd share a little information for the home gardener about the difference between Seasol and fertiliser. Enjoy :)

https://www.permagreen.com.au/single-post/2018/04/13/Wait-Its-Not-a-Fertiliser

I've seen a lot of lawns lately that look like they are in dire need of a decent application of fertiliser. When I raise this with the owner, and ask whether th...

Jungle Patrol

Hi all, I don't usually do this but I believe in the cause below. Many of us have lost friends and family to cancer, myself included.

If you're so inclined to donate towards cancer research via the Cancer Council and support two guys doing an amazing thing to support cancer research, check out the link below.

Sh*tbox Rally is the largest independent fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia.This would not be the case without all of the very generous donations from friends, family, co workers and complete strangers. Cancer is a terrible illness that nobody deserves to go through, ever. Raising much neede...

Time to Plant Some Veggies! | Permagreen Landscaping Perth | Lawn and Landscape Specialists

As the weather starts to cool down why not do some work on your home veggie patch, or build one this weekend?

For a guide on what to grow right check out our blog post here:

As the summer heat peaks, it signals a move to cooler months ahead. For the home veggie growers, or the first time dabblers in the home veggie garden, that mean...

I knew there was a pathway under there....

02/02/2018

When there's no easy access to the backyard you just have to find a way. Otherwise, how do you get this brilliant lawn through?

30/01/2018

The path down the side here was a little overgrown, so it was cleared, some new border plantings done and a fresh layer of pinebark mulch applied.

A bit of wonky paving and a clandestine garden bed swapped out for new paving and a raised garden bed.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2018.

Stay safe and have a great holiday everyone :)

Make the most of this rain, and get some soil wetter and fertiliser down. As always, read the instructions on the fertiliser, as many are not safe to use on wet grass, or without immediate watering in.

27/11/2017

Removing paving and artificial turf, building limestone garden beds and returning to soft leaf buffalo. Beautiful :)

When retic components (check valve and master solenoid) get old and need replacing there's always a big hole involved!

17/11/2017

If you're looking at a new retic system take a look at the MP Rotator nozzles. As well as being incredibly water efficient and operating very well in new housing estates with lower water pressure they minimise loss of water from wind, and can save a lot of money on your water bill.

16/11/2017

Perfect day for a retic installation! Have a great weekend everyone.

14/11/2017

Just a reminder to check your retic is working correctly before the heat sets in. There are a lot of brown lawns out there, including some very new lawns in new estates.

Almost all retic controllers have a test function, whereby you can run each station for a minute or two, and make sure everything is working. You'd be amazed how many homes we see with a broken sprinkler spraying a fountain of water onto the road, all while the owner is fast asleep in the early morning.

14/11/2017

All done, retic on and plants settling in to their new home.

10/11/2017

First job of the day done. My own lawn!! Long overdue, it's been that busy!

Some soil wetter, fertiliser and out for the day :) Have a great weekend everyone!

06/11/2017

Now that it's getting pretty warm and dry make sure you remember to check your sprinklers are all working, get a good quality soil wetter down and feed your plants and lawns with some decent fertiliser.

Tick these boxes and you'll save water and keep your garden healthy through the hotter months :)

New build landscape

All finished with the paving in. Great looking granite pavers, laid by Andrew Warne.

Such a good feeling to see the end of sand in your back garden :)

Making some extra room for a Bali-style hut.

25/10/2017

A client in Beaconsfield removed a large pond. To blend with the existing garden and the old pond waterfall we built a small rock garden bed and laid some beautiful Sir Walter soft leaf buffalo.

The client was very happy with the outcome :)

Property maintenance for an investment property in Victoria Park. W**d control for the winter w**ds, a thick layer of mulch to keep the next round at bay, stepping stones, tree pruning and a new road base area for a shed.

Looks like a different property!
