This bare, open stretch of land had no more than sand and pioneer grasses covering it.
The site has an existing station and a pedestrian railway bridge with a network of manmade pathways connecting it together.
Urbanscapes transformad the site into an attractive and functional space, lining it with our large 1000L Harpephyllum caffrum trees.
The station entrance is complimented with our 400L Acacia xanthophloea trees.
See how the landscape is transformed with the before and after pictures.
Trees play such an important role in anchoring a landscape, guiding pedestrians on site, to and from the station and providing a screen from the busy railway bridge for the residence.
