Yarralumla Montessori School natural play space

Scope

To create a rock garden that is also an attractive addition to the landscape whilst providing a functional natural play space for the children

Challenges

  • Sourcing the rocks
  • Moving them into position in the least damaging manner
  • Creating a functional and attractive space whilst observing and maintain playground standards
  • Working in the space whilst school in in its open hours

Solutions

  • Makin Trax sourced some very large and appropriate rocks for the space
  • We used a 7tonne forklift to manoeuvre these extremely large rocks into place
  • We carried out most of the works outside of school hours. Mostly on weekends

Outcomes

Yarralumla Montessori is now the owner of a beautiful, unique and very practical play space that complies with all relevant standards.
