Entertaining Spaces….

Jun

2019

So you have made it through Summer with that dirty old BBQ but you can’t stop thinking about how nice it was at John & Betty’s place with their built in BBQ and entertaining space.

Why not start thinking about how you could utilise a space in your yard to build something you would be happy to entertain in, perhaps Christmas could be at your house this year!?! I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone but I hope you see what I’m getting at.

Contact Greenside for some ideas and a quote for a built in BBQ or entertaining space.

Old But New…

This One Was A Little Different

The objective of Stage 1 for this project was to transform a new double car garage in Inner Bayside Melbourne into something that looked old and weathered in order to work with this heritage listed house on the outskirts of Inner Melbourne. The clients had a very clear picture of the desired result…”make it look like it was slapped together by Turkish farmers hundreds of years ago with…something that resembles a Turkish out house that had been built and had fallen down over time”.

This result was achieved with…

A traditional sand cement render
A broken down stone wall using a mixture of Castlemaine Slate & Mt Angus Sandstone
Some 19th Century European doors and windows supplied by our client

The left corner of the garage will have a stone pillar extending all the way to the top with planting to climb the render and hang over the stone in sections. We will also add some calcification through a salt and acid wash. This will definitely be one to photograph again in a year.

If you are a Gardening Enthusiast then you may already know about this website….but if you don’t then I suggest you save it to your BOOKMARKS.

www.lovethegarden.com

This great website offers soooooo much useful information about all things gardening. Be careful though as most of the content is written for the northern hemisphere so remember to flip the seasons…If talk is to plant in June then that is our Nov/Dec.

I did go on now to write a brief description of some of the content but it got a little out of hand…so just follow the link above and have a look around the site for yourself.

Rolling For Aspergers

There’s only 1 week remaining until Charlie Duncan embarks on his mission to skateboard 1,815km from Melbourne to Byron Bay. Why you ask…to raise awareness and money for Aspergers Australia.

When Charlie came to me and said he wanted to take 6 weeks off to complete his mission I almost fell over…but since then I’ve seen him training, preparing, chasing sponsors and organising fund raising events to make sure it’s a success.

It takes a certain type of person to take on something this huge. Dedicated and selfless best describe Charlie and I guess you could add crazy in there somewhere…1815km…he’s absolutely mad!

I’d like to wish him all the best on this skateboarding mission. Fingers crossed for a safe and smooth trip with a tail wind!

Look after yourself Charlie, we have a few busy months coming up at Greenside!
