Past Work
Rivulet Landscapes has been supporting the Perth Metro area since 2006. Here’s just a few of those projects!
Leeming
Medina
Most of this property has been landscaped in stages over seven years. The front yard features Australian species combined with water-wise exotic plants. A driveway and paths have been laid with retro slab pavers to complement the 1950s house. The home’s living area opens onto a backyard lawn, surrounded by fruit trees, a shade structure for vegetables, and a circular firepit. Several sumps built with natural limestone rock serve to distribute water captured from the roof onto the garden.
Bouvard
Over two years work on this acreage nestled beside the Peel Estuary saw a number of garden beds created, including an entrance garden shaded by large trees which was planted with Cycads, Cliveas and Bromeliads. A swing for the grandchildren was strung from the bow of a Tuart tree, a nesting box installed high up its trunk. The verges beyond the gates were planted with indigenous species and staked with tree-guard sleeves to deter hungry kangaroos.
Cannington
Brief was to transform an empty back yard into an entertaining area with a sunken patio, flanked by lawns, and framed by garden beds. A pattern was devised for the paving, and semi-mature trees planted. The landscape was also designed to withstand being the domain of two large and friendly dogs.
White Gum Valley
The front yard features a native garden planted in 2009. Another native garden was planted to the side of the house two years later as well as a backyard featuring a food garden. Four apple trees, three citrus, a mango, avocado, fig and a ‘Plumcot’, constitute an urban orchard of mostly dwarf varieties. A raised vege bed of corrugated metal and a trellis of pickets and stainless steel mesh was constructed and planted with passionfruit to help disguise a shipping container.
