A dry-stone labyrinth garden on a commercial site. The work began on a bare site, with the first stone walling laid along a timber fence. Dry-stone labyrinth walls were then built up from set-out pegs, and the finished labyrinth has mulch paths, planting, pathways and raised stone beds.

Before Arrow Landscapes, our founders supervised nursery, landscaping and maintenance work at Sun City, working through Top Turf.

Our founders worked as supervisors at Top Turf, the start of the hands-on experience they bring to every Arrow Landscapes project.
Our founders supervised irrigation and landscaping work at Eco Creations from 2000, and later became shareholders, until founding Arrow Landscapes in 2013.
These are the companies our founders worked with before establishing Arrow Landscapes in 2013. They are not Arrow Landscapes projects.
More project photos are being added.
