Website: www.atgardenspaces.com

We are a female owned and operated landscaping duo, who endeavours to design and build gardens that coexist with nature.

We have been in the landscaping industry for over 10 years and in that time have developed a landscaping business that is very passionate and driven in building gardens that encompass the life and inspiration of our Australian landscapes. Our philosophy ‘return to nature’ is the motivational core of our work to build gardens for people that not only provide a sanctuary for them but for also our Australian native plant species and wildlife. We endeavour to create landscape environments that work with mother nature not against her, creating safe havens that in turn nurture the souls of every living element in your garden. We are big advocates for harnessing resources on site, whether it be rain water or solar power and also look to create an element of sustainability where ever possible. The focal point around all of our designs is to use raw material elements, whether it be wood, stone, rock, water, etc. This combined with the use of our beautiful array of Australian native plant species we are able to create gardens that meet our clients needs whilst helping our natural environment at the same time.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions and if you would like to discover more about who we are please take a look at our website www.atgardenspaces.com

WaterUps® wicking cells

In way of an introduction, WaterUps® wicking cells are a unique product designed to combat water waste and reduce the maintenance time and water needed for a wide range of growing environments, landscapes and gardens.

Our product, the wicking cell, is Australian owned and manufactured in western Sydney from re-cycled plastic

“In a similar way to placing a plant pot in a saucer of water to allow the soil to “soak” up the water to keep it alive – this action, called capillary action, is the basis of water-wicking.“ This short video explains how WaterUps® work.

An Independent report from a Sydney Northern Beaches council recycling facility detailed water savings of up to 80% when compared to above ground irrigation methods.

Most beds can often be left for 4 – 5 weeks without the need to be watered.

For more information please contact Bob Stevenson from WaterUps at bob@waterups.com.au
