Contemporary Hideaway |  2017

The owners of this Arrowtown property commissioned Design and Garden Landscapes to design a ‘forever landscape’ for their new home. The house lacked a coherent landscape structure and private outdoor living area and had poor front door access and circulation. There was a need to zap things up!

The Brief was to enhance the front entrance and provide space for better outdoor entertaining for their large family. This was to include a ‘swim spa’. Site constraints included a rocky outcrop and a large residence that required screening from neighbours. This led to a 2.7m high boundary screen being installed and resource consent sought and gained.

The project was completed in 2017 and includes a private deck area, screening, extensive planting, outdoor spa/swimming pool, and contained a courtyard that is separated by an overhead structure that links the overall theme and garden furniture. Good indoor/outdoor flow links these elements.

About the
Professional

Design + Garden Landscapes is in the business of providing beautiful gardens and outdoor living areas that match or surpass our customer’s dreams. The look on our customers' faces when we have been successful says it all.    

We have been in business now for over 25 years. It’s been a long journey and we have figured out a winning formula for keeping our customer happy and creating quality every time.

The goal for us has always been to blend beauty, function and quality in all of our work. We soon realised that in order to retain control of our projects from start to finish, we would need to keep all of the services in-house. Design & Garden Landscapes became one of the first professional Otago landscape firms to provide a full in-house service. Today our team boasts qualified specialists in design, planting, construction and maintenance, producing quality every step of the way.

Our team work closely together and each team member is briefed on the whole project as well as the task they are personally responsible for. You can be confident that you won’t be surprised by the arrival of a cowboy/subcontractor on your doorstep (who has little understanding of the overall project, let alone what they are doing).

Design and Garden Landscapes is an accredited member of REGISTERED MASTER LANDSCAPERS, (Our industry organisation) who host a bi-annual National awards programme. The company has entered these awards since 2002 and has picked up awards every time since then with creative design and industry-leading construction, including the National Award of LANDSCAPE OF THE YEAR for 2010 and 2014.

If you are looking for an awesome team whose idea of success is “that look” on your face at the end of the project – you have come to the right place. Our awards tell us our formula is a good one and our offering can be summed up as follow:

  • A company with 25+ years of experience in designing and building award-winning gardens.
  • Innovative and Creative with fresh ideas.
  • An in-house team of qualified professionals
  • A proven process to take you seamlessly from concept to completion
  • A fun and enthusiastic team of staff
