Lifestyle Block Gardens

[slideshow id=13 w=600 h=450]
Lifestyle blocks come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some before and after shots of some planned gardens.

A garden is a living dynamic, nothing stays the same. But if you plan for tomorrow, you and others will get the benefits of creating a beautiful setting that future generations can enjoy.

Lifestyle blocks can offer lots of challenges and contain many different briefs. Everyone has their own ideas of the perfect setting.

But we can help you achieve your goals. Make your dreams a reality, by achieving the setting to suit your lifestyle.

Some briefs can be more difficult to achieve. I bet the guys here in the photo did not think that a trip in a dingy to plant an island would have been on their job description! But I do feel sure the final landscape will be worth the effort.

Water Feature | Lap Pool

[slideshow id=7 w=600 h=450]

In the beginning this was just a gapping clay hole in the middle of the house. The dream was to create a sheltered courtyard, away from the wind. The vision was to build not only a swimming pool but a small lap pool with a formal shape that could be viewed from the moment one stepped over the threshold of the house. As well as acting as a focal point of the residence.

Ponga and ferns now flourish in the back corner. The lady with the vase spills water into the pool at one end. Chatham Island Forget-me-nots now flower in the shaded corner, and two well grown Pseudopanax soften the sunny side, under planted with small grasses.

The pool looks beautiful with its soft lighting at night. This area is functional, as well as aesthetically pleasing when not in use.
