AUDIT

Graduate Gardeners can provide full trail and environment audits, to assess the environmental sustainability and risk on existing trails and or projects, with recommendations on remediation and construction methods to minimise ongoing maintenance costs. 

DESIGN

Graduate Gardeners pride themselves on design that enhances the environment with minimal impact to the local environment. Trail designs from Graduate Gardeners are mapped and recorded using the most up to date GIS/GPS programs. We like to shape and sculpt the earth with existing materials that are located on the site.  Designs are always approached with the construction process in mind to ensure we are protecting the local environment and habitat and to provide you with confidence with your budget. All our trails are designed and constructed using Australian Standards and proven sustainable techniques.

CONSTRUCTION

Graduate Gardeners are experts in both hand and mechanical tool use in our construction methods. We believe that using hand tools creates a bespoke finish and also has improved environmental impact than using machinery. Our construction methods always take into consideration the environment, the cultural heritage of the area and ensuring we add to the environment in a positive way.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance programs can be provided with projects for Land Managers, or alternatively a maintenance program can be delivered by Graduate Gardeners.
