SUSTAINABILITY

At Luma Landscapes we take sustainability seriously. It starts during the design process and follows right through to maintenance. We provide a sustainable option where possible and do the little things to try and make a difference.

Our concrete rubbish is recycled, our used plastic pots are recycled, our green rubbish is composted, and our soil is taken to depots where it is re-blended. We aim to reduce our landfill rubbish at every opportunity.

We make every effort to use locally made and sourced materials such as pavers and stone in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. Imported materials are used at the client’s request if there isn’t a better local option available.

We use water-wise plants where possible, and our gardens have drip irrigation systems that take the water straight to the roots, reducing water consumption.

Most of the timber we use in our gardens is grown in Australia. Our cypress battens used on screens and fences are all 100% sustainable Australian timber. Cypress has natural ways of protecting itself from rot and termites which means it doesn’t require chemical treatment like other timbers. Our radial cut timber battens use a method of milling which reduces waste and produces a strong product which will stand the test of time.

The end product is an ageless garden that has been sustainably constructed and stands the test of time.
