How we brought the project to life

The homeowners wanted an inviting, low-maintenance landscape that felt connected to their coastal surroundings. Their goal was to create a soft, family-friendly lawn that could handle everyday use while complementing the property’s elegant outdoor design.

Before installation, Laguna Landscapes prepared the ground with 38m³ of topsoil to enrich the soil base. This preparation, combined with our high-quality turf supply and expert installation, ensured even growth and strong root development.

Timeline: Three days from preparation to completion

Irrigation Access: We utilised the natural slope and gradient of the property, meaning no added drainage was required.
