Philosophy Gardens are essential to our well being. In the city especially, they provide a much-needed connection with the land and nature, a rest for the soul. Landscape design is the art of nature; observations of nature serve as inspiration for design. Paths move like rivers, rocks sit like miniature mountains, ponds resemble lakes. The subtle use of stone and water in the landscape creates solid anchorage points that evoke feelings of peace, stillness and elegance. Echidna landscapes strive to build living works of art that constantly change, spaces that can be enjoyed. Gardens for Now and the Future Echidna are concerned with creating landscapes that will endure. Some of the ways we do this are: choosing the right plant for the right spot designing for functionality planting drought tolerant plants creating sustainable food gardens where desired installing tanks and grey water irrigation systems utilizing water saving and ecologically sound products using recycled materials working with the ecology and habitat of local flora and fauna Lawn free gardens are a great option and there are examples in the gallery. We try to retain existing plants and elements where they enhance the new landscape. 'Make an Enquiry' today, and see how we can transform your backyard into a garden oasis.
