SEDUM TURF
DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF SEDUM TURF
Pre-grown and as easy to install as landscape turf, this product can also be cut into pieces for in-between rocks and other garden applications. Urban Sedum Turf is grown with soil on a coconut fibre mat for ease of handling and installation.
Many Sedums will flower from late spring through fall in a succession of different colours. Sedum flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinating insects. The dried stems are often used by birds for nest building material.
LOW VOLATAGE LED LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
DRASTICALLY REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION BY USING LOW VOLTAGE LED LANDSCAPE LIGHTING IN YOUR LANDSCAPE
Landscape lighting is a low voltage lighting system that is easy to install and can be done by anyone. You connect lights together using 12 gauge stranded 2 wire. The wires run back to a transformer which converts 120 volts into 12 volts. Inside the transformer, we can install a photocell and timer.The photocell detects low light levels and turns the system on while the timer is used to turn the system off. Landscape Lighting brings your backyard to life and allows you to enjoy your yard throughout the evening. These systems are not solar as the technology has yet to create solar products that can produce the proper light amount required other than a low glow.
PERMEABLE PAVERS
LET WATER MOVE THROUGH THE LAND WITH PERMEABLE PAVERS
Permeable interlocking concrete pavers (PICP) are installed with layers of varying-sized stone or aggregate underneath that filter and direct stormwater to underground aquifers. Permeable paving mimics the way natural land absorbs water.
