Marilyn's Dreamscapes L.L.C.The new front walk was reduced according to Village regulations with new brick that matched the back new patio
Ivy & BloomHaving completed their new build in a semi-rural subdivision, these clients turned their attention to the garden, painting the fence black, building a generous deck and then becoming stuck for inspiration! On their wishlist were multiple options for seating, an area for a fire- bowl or chiminea, as much lawn as possible, lots of fruit trees and bee-friendly plantings, an area for a garden shed, beehive and vegetable garden, an attractive side yard and increased privacy. A new timber fence was erected at the end of the driveway, with an upcycled wrought iron gate providing access and a tantalising glimpse of the garden beyond. A pebbled area just beyond the gate leads to the deck and as oversize paving stones created from re-cycled bricks can also be used for informal seating or a place for a chiminea or fire bowl. Pleached olives provide screening and backdrop to the garden and the space under them is underplanted to create depth. The garden wraps right around the deck with an informal single herringbone 'gardener's path' of recycled brick allowing easy access for maintenance. The lawn is angled to create a narrowing perspective providing the illusion that it is much longer than it really is. The hedging has been designed to partially obstruct the lawn borders at the narrowest point to enhance this illusion. Near the deck end, the lawn takes a circular shape, edged by recycled bricks to define another area for seating. A pebbled utility area creates space for the garden shed, vegetable boxes and beehive, and paving provides easy dry access from the back door, to the clothesline and utility area. The fence at the rear of the house was painted in Resene Woodsman "Equilibrium" to create a sense of space, particularly important as the bedroom windows look directly onto this fence. Planting throughout the garden made use of low maintenance perennials that are pollinator friendly, with lots of silver and grey foliage and a pink, blue and mauve colour palette. The front lawn was completely planted out with fruit trees and a perennial border of pollinator plants to create street appeal and make the most of every inch of space!
Joe Musselwhite Garden DesignA lovely 18C cottage with a beautiful view, had a large back lawn area with one main flower bed, existing pond and a very diagonal hedge. We decided to create a design that would square up to the house and remove emphasis on the loud diagonal. I increased the existing rectangular flower bed and added many others. The dark body of the hedge is a useful backdrop for the evening light catching the grasses and perennials. After an incredibly good growing season (this spring) the garden is looking great in its first summer. It needs the usual two years to mature, and then the roses will really make themselves heard. (The lawn may need a little more TLC as two nice dogs live here too).
Green & GorgeousEuphorbia and Buxus bring strong structure through the banks of perennials. Peonies show off early summer flowers.

Luxury Garden DesignThe garden has steep banks laid initially to lawn, which meant they were difficult to mow and also quite boring!
We stripped the turf and sowed a 100% wildflower mixture that brings colour and wildlife to the space. We also included specimen Betula Jacquemontii multistem trees as a focal point at the base of the banks.
This image was taken eight weeks after sowing the wildflowers in August 2022.
