As with many building projects, the owners of this homemade some decisions partway through building their dream home on an elevated sloping block.

They had decided an advanced Japanese Maple tree would be a perfect instant feature for the entertaining courtyard wrapped within three sides of the home –the major complication being that by this time, the formed concrete swimming pool had already been constructed across the only unwalled side and blocked any access to the garden bed.

The solution was simple but dramatic – ECS arranged for a crane to lift our smallest excavator over the top of the house and into the courtyard to excavate the garden area. The 4m tall advanced tree was then also craned in, and then the excavator was removed via crane again once planting was complete…. (the owners completed the rest of the landscaping
themselves with small plants they could pick up & carry into the rest of the garden).
