NATURAL PLAYGROUNDS

Technical specifications include descriptions of the scope, methods, materials and performance of projects components. General conditions cover non-technical aspects of the project whilst technical specifications cover the specific construction process
A new concept in playground design, natural playgrounds utilise rocks, earth mounds, living fences and tunnels, rope bridges and more to encourage immersive, and creative play in children that’s rooted in the environment.
Unstructured and natural play contributes to the overall physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children, helps them with concentration and self-discipline, allows them to experience more diverse play. Generally natural play options like climbing trees, making mud pies, jumping over logs or building a fort helps kids with their motor fitness, general health and behaviour. Natural playgrounds meet all Australian safety standards whilst being developmentally appropriate and intellectually and physically challenging.Natural Playgrounds offer financial benefits such as being less expensive than manufactured ‘equipment’ that needs to be replaced when safety regulations change. There are also lower playground injuries and offer higher play value at lower cost. They reduce costly environmental impacts while improving habitats and beautifying surroundings, and because they often use indigenous plants and local materials they have a very low carbon footprint!
Most importantly these spaces are beautiful and create wonderful opportunities to improve kids’ wellbeing through delightful experiences.

ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN
What is ecologically sensitive landscape design?
Embracing the Australian outdoor space
Using plants that belong where we live not only helps conserve our ecological resources, it gives our gardens a sense of place. Thanks to the extraordinary diversity of stunning native plants, we can interpret any garden style from formal to cottage garden, tropical to contemporary minimalist. This new Australian outdoor space also reflects our love of outdoor living, with outdoor kitchens or cooking, dining and entertaining areas becoming common in most designs.
Understanding lifestyles to improve design
Improved planning and design of outdoor spaces significantly reduces maintenance requirements and so saves water and resources. A better understanding of user and lifestyle needs means landscapes are designed around our busy lifestyles and the times that people are available to enjoy their spaces.
Conserving water and resources with xeriscapes
Garden and landscape designs that conserve water are often referred to as ‘Xeriscapes’, pronounced ‘zerry scape’. This is a term derived from the Greek word ‘xeros’ meaning dry and from the word landscape, to form a new term for water conserving gardens.
A water wise, easy care garden is easy to create and has numerous benefits. Not only does it save water and resources, it also saves time and money on maintenance (with fewer weeds and less fertiliser and pesticide use). By incorporating smaller, drought tolerant lawn areas with improved soils, effective use of mulching and an efficient drip irrigation system, water wise gardens are less work than conventional gardens.
Using efficient watering practices for lush gardens
A water wise garden doesn’t mean a desert garden, nor does it have to mean a lawn free garden - you can have a lush green drought tolerant lawn and healthy abundant vegetation. A water wise garden uses efficient watering practices that means taking advantage of rainwater, recycled water, grey water and reducing reliance on mains water.
