Good bye Liz

Liz was one of my first clients on the central coast so it was a bit sad to see her leave. Recently retired, she was looking forward to selling quickly and setting up a new home in South Australia. I did a lot of work to ready the property for sale.

One of the small projects I'm particularly proud of was reworking the garden around a small pond. It was full of weeds, most of the stone had to be lifted out of the sediment that had settled around the pond over a period of more then ten years. I removed a lot of soil, washed off the stones, lifted them out of the ground.

The plant selection was kept simple, gardenias, Lomandra "Lime Tuff", water iris, water lilies and Myoporum. A few bags of smaller stones were purchased and you can see the edge of a a dry stone creek. I used white stones to represent water and they also make the stones pop at night.

The home itself requires a update however the new owners have good ideas and will turn it into something special over the next few years.

I'm sorry to see Liz go but very much appreciate the trust placed in me and was allowed to just get on with the job.
