These plants generally have fleshy leaves with high moisture content which is less likely to ignite should embers land in their foliage. Such shrubs include Agapanthus, Hydrangeas, Aloes, Oleander and Viburnum and ground covers include Dichondra, Ajuga, Scaevola, Pig face, most succulents and Myoporum. The healthier and well watered these plants are, the less likely they are to burn. Regular removal of dead leaves and debris is also recommended.

Pratia pedunculata is not a plant that will jump out at you and say, ‘Here I am! Look at me!’ But, it is a plant flowering right now that when you take notice, it will draw you in for a much closer inspection. Dainty and cute are the words that come to mind when I see this small ground cover plant doing its thing.
At Kyora Landscapes, we strive to offer quality service and a quality job. We have spent some time working on the company core values to help us achieve and continue to achieve to our full potential. It may come as a surprise to hear a landscape company has these values in place, but if you read our blog on the Modern Aussie Tradie, you will understand that to be set above the rest, you need to go above and beyond what is expected.
1) Visualise the outcome with an open mind
2) Motivation Starts with Clear Communication
3) Own It & Get It Done
4) Back Yourself & the Options are Endless
5) Appreciate the Efforts of the Team
6) A Reputation for Quality Separates us From the Rest
With these core values, clear motivation is provided for all Kyora employees to work towards. They can also provide potential clients an insight of what they can expect should they decide to work with Kyora on their landscape project. Each month, the employees of Kyora vote for the person who has best demonstrated one or more of these Core Values, further inspiring each and every individual to strive for the best for both Kyora, and them selves.

Overall the project is a great success. The client has a functional and low maintenance garden that maximises the space available in a style that suits the building and area of Glebe.

We all feel the same way when another high-ride gets approved. It’s heartbreaking to see our landscape swallowed up by concrete. BUT it’s not all bad news; some amazing architects have decided to do something about it & the Kyora team are SO on board!!
Check out these 3 amazing designs by Architects around the world.
Designed by Patrick Blanc, One Central Park features 23 green walls – Comprised of 120,000 native Australian plants and spread over 1,200 square metres, the Central Park building vertical garden in Sydney, Australia was designed to be a beautiful addition to the city and park below. Via – TENSILE
Clearpoint Residencies designed with a clear goal in mind: To provide its occupants the very best of sustainable living, whilst setting a benchmark for future high-rise developments. This includes ensuring a structure that survives the test of time and has minimum impact on the adjacent environs, while simultaneously providing a pleasant and secure environment for owners.Upon completion, it will be the country’s first truly sustainable high-rise and the world’s tallest vertical garden. Located just a few minutes from the heart of Colombia
Named Bosco Verticale because each tower houses trees between three and six meters which help mitigate smog and produce oxygen. Also used to moderate temperatures in the building in the winter and summer. Officially opened in October 2014, Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) is a pair of award-winning residential towers in the Porta Nuova district of Milan, Italy designed by Boeri Studio (Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca and Giovanni La Varra).
Don’t want to travel all the way to Milan or Columbia? Fair enough… While you’re checking out Central Park in Sydney follow this link to see all of the Sydney green walls & green buildings we know of, that should keep you busy until next time!
