Hello,
The blocks we used, were Boral Ravinastone and the pavers were C&M pavers, there are heaps of different brands/colours to choose from. The Ravinastone was great as its like putting big pieces of lego together.
As for the plants we have Bird of Paradise, Frangipanis (which are doing amazingly) mondo grasses, hybiscuses, Moses basket, Yukkas without the trunk part (they are also growing very fast) Near the pond area we used lots of different grasses and iris. We also have some stags on some trellice on the wall.
Are you in Melbourne ? Can give you the name of a fantastic wholesale nurseery and also the contact for where we bought the statue.
Estimated costs -
pavers $700
blocks and capping $1000
soil, sand, crushed rock (for pavers) $200
plants $250 ish
water feature $230
pond $99
fish $3
Let me know if you need anything else.
I can also help anyone out with Bali style wedding invitations :-)
Cheers, Jess
