    I love the natives but I don’t love the slope towards your house, do you get much water draining down to the house footings? Unless you have some good drainage there? But I love the grasses. Their roots are fabulous for stablising slopes and the variety of textures you have here is lovely.

    Very nice. Id look at adding some more groundcovers. Myporum, pratia and scaevola are super easy from cuttings. Dichondra is easy from seed, or transplants well, or tubes are also really cheap

    Brilliant

    Biodiversity and low maintenance, “I might give it a bit of a water” every few days in summer versus a monoculture that you have to use herbicide, pesticide, fertiliser, frequent watering, coring and scarifying, top dressing lol

    what’s the moss looking one in the middle?

    What type of grass was there and how did you get rid of it? I have a patch of kikuyu that I want to turn into something like this but unsure how to get rid of that stuff.

  7. This is a really great idea! Very low maintenance, needs less water and will look much better. Well done.

    What variety of Marraya is it? Paniculata Exotica?
