Wicking Garden Beds in the Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains, including Lawson and Faulconbridge, are cooler and frostier than Sydney, with shorter summers and sloping, shaded bush blocks. Wicking beds adapt well: the raised soil warms earlier in the mountain spring, the sealed reservoir carries plants through dry spells when carting water uphill is a chore, and careful placement captures the lower winter sun that mountain gardens depend on. That makes a real difference to what a Lawson or Faulconbridge garden can grow each year.


Our Blue Mountains work spans residential and school installs on challenging sloping sites. The projects below show how we adapt to the terrain.
