How it goes
The order the work happens in at Mawson Lakes
Design then build: site analysis and levels, a concept and planting plan, then the hard works such as edging, levels, paving and structures before soils, irrigation, planting and mulch go in. Work at Mawson Lakes is booked around the northern plains, where summers are long and the ground hardens early, so the stages that are weather sensitive are not left to chance.
01
Bare site: A neglected yard — compacted fill, patchy grass, no structure.
02
Design: The design is set out on site — bed lines, levels and paved areas marked full-size before anything is built.
03
Shaping: Garden beds are cut, shaped and edged in steel. The plan is now visible in the ground.
04
Irrigation: Drip and spray zones are trenched and laid — hydrozoned so every planting area gets exactly what it needs.
05
Soil: Imported soil and conditioner go in, then mulch. The growing medium is built, not hoped for.
06
Trees: Advanced trees are craned in and set — instant structure that would otherwise take a decade.
07
Planting: Planting out in structured layers: screens, masses, accents, groundcovers.
08
Established: Golden hour on an established garden — architecture first, softness grown over it.
