The most famous street on the Gold Coast underwent a refurbishment to address the health of its trees.

Marsupial Environmental Services is a division of Marsupial Landscape Services dedicated to managing the urban environment, from the soil to the tree canopy. Led by Daniel Oaten, Senior Arborist, Research & Development Manager – and an industry leader in arboriculture and urban forest management – the Division provides research-informed solutions including assessments, reports, and implementation of services that focus on the impact and preservation of soil and urban tree health.

For this project for City of Gold Coast, our team replaced old porous paving on three tree beds on Cavill Avenue. The process involves carefully removing the original porous paving then expanding the planter beds by cutting out concrete, then removing pavement substrates, checking and treating of the exposed roots, installing vertical cores and installing new technology dynamic porous paving that combines certain sized stone, rubber blend with polymer resins.
