A Courtyard Makeover in Diamond Creek: Raised Garden Bed by Evergreen Landscaping
At Evergreen Landscaping, we pride ourselves on transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional areas our clients can enjoy for years to come. One of our most recent projects took us to Diamond Creek, a leafy suburb in Melbourne known for its tranquil surroundings and garden-loving residents.
Our client contacted us with a clear vision: she wanted to make better use of her small courtyard by installing a raised garden bed that would allow her to grow camelias - her favourite flowering shrubs - without compromising space or damaging the integrity of her courtyard flooring. With her ideas and our expertise, we were able to create something both practical and elegant.
Custom Raised Garden Bed Installation
The courtyard posed a unique challenge: limited space, existing paved surfaces, and concerns about water leakage. But as always, the team at Evergreen Landscaping was ready with a solution tailored to the client’s needs.
We began by designing a custom-sized raised garden bed to suit the scale of the courtyard. Crafted with durable materials and a clean, modern finish, the bed not only maximised planting area but also added a stylish architectural feature to the space.
Protecting the Surface: Plastic Membrane Layer
One of the client’s main concerns was water leakage, particularly as the garden bed was to sit directly on her paved courtyard. To address this, we carefully lined the inside of the raised bed with a high-quality plastic membrane. This vital step acts as a barrier, preventing any moisture from seeping through and causing damage to the underlying surfaces.
By creating a sealed, water-resistant layer, we ensured the bed was both functional and protective, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Garden Blend Soil: Ready for Camelias
With the structure complete and the waterproof membrane in place, we filled the raised bed with premium Garden Blend soil. This blend was specifically chosen for its excellent drainage and nutrient-rich composition - perfect for planting camelias, which require well-aerated, slightly acidic soil to thrive.
Whether the client chooses to plant a few elegant bushes or create a lush camellia hedge, the soil is ready to support healthy root growth and vibrant blooms.
A Thrilled Client and a Garden Ready to Grow
The transformation of the Diamond Creek courtyard was a resounding success. The client was absolutely delighted with the finished product, commenting on how seamlessly the raised bed fit into her space and how much she appreciated the attention to detail - especially the membrane installation and soil quality. She’s now looking forward to planting her camelias and enjoying a blooming retreat just outside her door.
