Leigh landscape project completed 🌿

Wrapped up this full landscape transformation in Leigh, turning a steep, unused section into a clean, functional outdoor space that’ll last for years.

This stage included full site prep and excavation with our 1.7ton minidigger, timber retaining walls, stepped access, compacted gravel paths, garden beds, Karo hedging, a shed construction, a timber slat screen, and reworking the clothesline to make it far more user-friendly.

Because of the slope and layout, a lot of attention went into the finer details making sure levels were right, drainage worked properly, access was practical, and everything tied together and flowed as it should. The goal was to make sure the space doesn’t just look good, but actually works day to day.

This one’s not finished yet either, we’ll be back for stage two to continue building the clients dream outdoor spaces.

Awesome spot and great clients to work with. Stoked with how this one came together.

Backup Garden Tank Installation

Our team recently completed a backup garden tank install as part of a client’s irrigation setup. The process included:
• Excavating and preparing the ground to create a stable foundation.
• Setting and levelling the tank securely in place.
• Connecting it as a non-potable water supply dedicated to the garden’s irrigation system.

This ensures the garden has a sustainable and reliable water source, helping plants thrive while easing demand on the main supply.

At Creating Nature Landscapes, we provide full landscaping solutions — from hard and soft landscaping to earthworks, drainage, and irrigation systems.

Driveway Widening & Access Improvement Project

Last week, we completed a project to widen a client’s driveway for easier access, particularly for maneuvering horse floats. The work included:
• Culvert Installation & Extension – adding new culverts and extended the existing ones to ensure proper drainage.
• Stump & Root Removal – extracted two large macrocarpa stumps and dug down the surface to clear out tree roots.
• Surface Preparation – leveled and prepared the ground to handle the loads of metal required for the new driveway surface.
