The Block!

The Block Glasshouse – 29.5 out of 30…

It’s not easy to keep secrets like this but finally we can announce that Greenside Landscapes were again lucky enough to be involved with Channel Nine’s The Block Glasshouse. I received a call from Carlene after the Terrace week had already started which meant we were always going to be under the pump.

I was reluctant to commit over the phone so quickly headed in to meet Michael & Carlene and see what we were up against. After listening to what Michael and Carlene had planned we discussed some additional ideas and concepts that would be achievable and most importantly appeal to the judges.  From there it was head down bum up to make sure we delivered. In true Block style it was a #&$% fight with other trades all under the pump to get things done. The Block, Keith and mother nature threw everything at us but we managed to finish what I would consider the perfect entertainers terrace.

Judging….

Shaynna Blaze – “WOW”  –  9.5

Darren Palmer – “I am completely in Love with it”…”The perfect urban Oasis”  –  10

Neale Whitaker – “It just works sooo beautifully…It’s just incredible”  –  10

Thanks Michael and Carlene for giving Greenside the opportunity to help create your magical terrace space. Thanks to my team for the LOOOONG hours and late nights that got us over the line.

 

Entertaining Spaces….

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.

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!
