Tucked away in Sydney’s south west is Camden, the former ‘seat’ of one of Australia’s founding fathers, John Macarthur, and thanks to the city’s fair share of original build-ings, it still has the character of a rural township complete with the classic Australian main street. It’s this street - Argyle Street - that was recently [...]

Turf Talk
Thanks to Roger Ward, Laurence Blacka and Craig Feuerriegel, we’ve put together three little turf case studies – two serious rebuilds and a test plot on a foul site… Let’s begin with Newcastle’s Arthur Edden Oval, hometo both the Northern NSW Soccer Federation and The Lambton Jaffa’s Soccer Club.

A GOOD MATCH
Walking into the shop to buy some milk, not many people think about the passing moment they’re about to have with the person behind the counter.

Look who's using it

What is Synergy?
Future Future: We are proud that the integration of TerraCottem into LA designs provides a sustainable platform for plant well-being. The role of TerraCottem is neither organically transient (like importing humus into a sandy profile) nor physically transient (like a structural foam). TerraCottem works in synergy with the plant for long term transformation.So what kinds [...]
