Tailoring Blends for your Project
Frequently Living earth is alsked to create 'bespoke mixes' that deliver on specified performance
requirements for designers. This is a key part of our work with landscape architects, engineers and project
managers.
For instance, at Auckland's iconic Wynyard Quarter, raingarden media with a higher infiltration rate was
specified to enable the garden beds to cope with heavy downpour occurring in a short space of time. Living
Earth worked with scientists, engineers, Waterfront Auckland and Hawkins Open Spaces to design the
raingarden media required, then undertook testing with Landcare Research to measure performance. Now
some areas are over six years old, with high conductivity rates and attractive NZ plants well established in the
beds.
This is a popular and unique area of Auckland City and Living Earth is pleased to be playing a part in its
development.

We take great care to bring you our finest products. Our products are created from green waste, so you might sometimes find small pieces of non-organic material in them.
