For Seena and her
husband Joy Joseph,
Lochaven was the
perfect location
to build a home
that would suit
their families’
individual needs.
The couple first discovered the
community when they were visiting
a friend’s house nearby, upon
visiting the sales office they fell
in love with what Lochaven
had to offer.
“Lochaven is close to everything
our family may need. There are
schools, shopping and parks, and
plenty of places where I can go for
a jog,” said Seena.
“Access to the local freeway and
train station, will also make it so
much easier for my husband and
I to commute to work each day.”
Seena who works as a nurse
in Clayton, and her husband Joy
Joseph who works in a factory
in Dandenong believe that
Cranbourne is a central location
that will make their commute a lot
easier. To secure an appointment at
the release day, Seena took time off
work just to ensure she did not miss
the release email.
“We really liked the community
and were determined to secure
land near the local school and
Woolworths town centre,"
said Seena.
The couple who are currently
living in a town house in Noble Park
with their three sons; Nikhil (16),
Nevin (13) and Naethan (3), this will
be the couples third home and they
are determined to create a home
that would serve their family for
many years to come.
“We can’t wait to build a home
of our own, we have visited many
display homes to find out what does
and doesn’t work,” said Seena.
“We are hoping to build a single
storey home, that’s energy efficient
and has plenty of space for our
family to live.”
The couple are looking
forward to raising their family in a
community that will suit all of their
needs, and meeting their future
neighbours.
“We are looking forward to
joining a tight knit community with
many of our friends living nearby.”
Lochaven, the perfect location!
Seena and her family are looking forward to raising their family in a community close to everything they may need.
Dacland recently
launched a website
for purchasers to help
them plan their front
landscaping and apply
for our great garden
promise incentive. This
incentive is embedded in
Dacland’s commitment
to delivering exceptional
communities by ensuring
that your property and
those around you, help
build the character of the
community you call home.
Dacland General Manager
of Marketing, Sara
believes that the website
will help make the process
easier for purchasers.
“At Dacland we want to make
sure this process is as easy for
purchasers as possible. The great
garden promise website has a host
of information for purchasers
and even offers some help with
planning their landscaping. Once
purchasers have settled their land
we encourage them to visit the
great garden promise website,”
said Sara.
To manage the program
Dacland has teamed up with
Eseo, our preferred contractor
for front garden installations and
maintenance. By partnering with
a like-minded contractor such as
Eseo we are creating a united vision
for better, healthier and ‘greener’
communities. Eseo founder and
manager, Seth Ferwerda believes
that this unique partnership will
help create and sustain ‘greener’,
well-presented communities.
“Eseo is excited to be an integral
part of the delivery of Dacland’s
great garden promise; we’re
determined to assist at each step
of the process,” said Seth.
“Purchasers planning their front
landscaping are encouraged to use
Eseo’s packages on the great garden
promise website for inspiration.
Eseo can install any one of these
four designs on offer.”
Once your front garden has been
completed, Eseo will inspect the
garden to ensure that it complies
with the design guidelines. Upon
approval, Eseo will commence front
garden maintenance services for
those eligible purchasers. Eseo will
communicate with purchasers using
an online portal to keep them up to
date on the maintenance services
provided at each visit.
If you have just settled your land,
it’s time to turn your attention to
your front yard, amongst a host of
other things. To help you create a
front garden that meets the design
guidelines here are some tips
provided by Eseo, our preferred
contractor for landscaping and
garden maintenance.
1. Choose grass that’s easy
to maintain
Yes, turf requires maintenance
but its qualities and benefits cannot
be under estimated. Did you know
that grass is a natural filter of dust,
pollutants and that it reduces the
heat island effect? Having a tough
turf species that handles extended
periods without water is important.
Eseo prefers Kikuyu turf for its
hardiness, tolerance of a range of
soils and its ability to go without
water for extended periods of time.
However, Kikuyu is very vigorous
and will need to be maintained.
Other suitable options to consider
include buffalo species, couches,
fescues etc.
2. Select plants which
complement each other
Choosing suitable plants that
are adaptable to your local climate
and the orientation of your garden
is important. Selecting a range of
plants that complement each other
or focus on a theme can help ensure
that the garden has a consistent
look and feel. You may choose to
focus on a flowering garden theme
or on contrasting foliage types and
colours. Finally selecting plants that
are going to attract native birds,
butterflies and bees will help make
your garden vibrant.
3. Don’t underestimate the
value of trees!
“At Eseo, we see trees as the
most essential elements to a
streetscape. We are thrilled to see
Dacland’s guidelines include the
requirement for 2 trees to each
front yard. This will have a lasting
benefit to Dacland’s communities,”
said Seth. The value of trees cannot
be underestimated- their benefits
include absorption of harmful gases;
reducing temperatures by shading
our streets; they reduce the need
for air conditioning by shading our
homes; reduce water pollution and
are known to increase the value of
our homes.
Planting the right tree is also
important. Please refer to your
design guidelines for a list of
appropriate species.
4. Use Organic Mulch
Mulch looks good, supresses
weeds and allows moisture to reach
the soil. This will assist in keeping
moisture locked in the ground,
making water accessible to plants
and trees. As mulch breaks down, it
adds vital nutrients to the soil. “At
Eseo we prefer using organic mulch
such as pine bark bush mulch,
lucerne and pea straw mulch."
Great gardens are our promise
Settlement Drive at Rothwell recently had it's landscaping completed by Eseo.
"Lochaven is close
to everything our
family may need."
