Before & After


Our Process
Our process for creating this custom vegetable planter box began with a thorough consultation to understand the client's specific needs, vegetable growing preferences, and their backyard's existing conditions.
After finalising the design concept, we implemented the project through these carefully planned stages:
Site Assessment
We evaluated the backyard to determine the optimal location for the planter box, considering sunlight exposure, accessibility, and visual integration with the existing landscape.
Custom Design
Based on our assessment, we created a tailored design for the planter box that maximised growing space while fitting perfectly within the available area and complementing the yard's aesthetic.
Material Selection
We carefully selected sustainable, high-quality materials for the planter box that would be durable, garden-safe, and visually appealing while supporting healthy plant growth.
Construction
Our experienced team constructed the planter box on-site, ensuring precise assembly and proper structural integrity to support soil weight and withstand outdoor conditions.
Watering System Installation
We installed a simple but effective integrated watering system tailored to the specific needs of a vegetable garden, ensuring even moisture distribution with minimal maintenance required.
Soil Preparation
The planter box was filled with premium quality, vegetable-specific soil mixture enriched with organic matter and nutrients to provide optimal growing conditions for a variety of produce.
Client Education
We provided comprehensive guidance on vegetable planting techniques, ongoing care, and how to effectively use and maintain the watering system for optimal results.
Throughout the project, we maintained regular communication with our client, ensuring they were informed about our progress and consulting them on any decisions that would affect the final result.
The Outcome
The completed vegetable planter box has transformed a previously underutilised area of the Ashfield property into a productive and attractive garden feature. The custom design achieves an ideal balance between form and function, with dimensions precisely calibrated to maximise growing space while maintaining proper proportions within the overall landscape. Constructed from sustainable materials, the planter box offers exceptional durability that will withstand Sydney's weather conditions for years to come, while its visual appeal complements the existing garden aesthetic. The integrated watering system provides reliable irrigation with minimal intervention, addressing the homeowners' desire for a low-maintenance solution that fits their busy lifestyle. Premium soil mixture creates optimal growing conditions for a variety of vegetables, ensuring healthy production throughout the growing season. Beyond the physical structure, the project has empowered the homeowners with the knowledge and tools to successfully grow their own produce, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle and providing the satisfaction of home-grown vegetables. This seemingly simple addition to the backyard has dramatically enhanced both the functionality and enjoyment of the outdoor space, proving that thoughtfully designed smaller projects can have a significant impact on everyday living.
