Story: Garden Makeover Part Two
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

WA?s Greatest Gardens-The Worst Garden $10,000 makeover turned out to be a lot bigger than expected. For a start, the home needed a patio area, driveway and an area for the kids to play basketball. The Garden Gurus landscaping team incorporated all these factors into the design of the garden. A hard seven days of work achieved a dramatic transformation including a vegetable patch that Lynette Fraser always dreamed off, a low maintenance backyard with fresh and healthy new lawn and plants, plus a complimentary garden shed for all required storage needs.

Featured products

Lifestone Paving
Donated 145m2 of liquid limestone that created a mini basketball court for Lynette?s children to play on, a base for their brand new garden shed and amazing driveway. This is an extraordinary feature that has added incredible value to the design and landscape of the garden.

About Liquid Limestone

• The poured limestone paving developed by Lifestone Paving, is the cost effective, natural and stylish answer to your landscaping dreams.
• Suitable for both internal and external use, the liquid limestone is poured en masse and then hand crafted to your requirements.
• Lifestone?s unique combination of limestone and bonding materials make it extremely strong and durable.
• Lifestone's Liquid Limestone is made from a mixture of crushed limestone and high quality concrete materials.
• The paving is poured en masse in its liquid form and then hand crafted to the client's desires.
• The resulting paving is extremely durable ensuring it looks as good as it did the day it was laid in many years to come.
• Tints can be added to the mix to create a wide range of colours and hues - from sandstone to terracotta and everything in between - to match your home decor.

Benefits

• NO MORE pavers that have moved or subsided over time.
