How do you create an outdoor space that works in all seasons - and still looks great?

Firstly, you listen to your clients’ requirements for what they are expecting from the space in all seasons – as all areas are unique and so is the way people use them.

You base your design around that, focusing on all the elements and surroundings.

In Auckland, we are experiencing heavier rainfall, which has influenced our design choices – particularly regarding drainage and water runoff.

This is what led us to introduce Permcon permeable concrete to New Zealand, which Firth manufactures under licence for us. We also use a select range of permeable paving in our work.

We’re seeing a growing trend, where clients expect more elaborate, customised design work to use all year round that reflects their unique vision and the character of the space.

Again, we just listen to the customers and, because we have many years’ experience, as well as current market knowledge, we are well equipped to deliver great landscaping choices that the client may not have thought of.
