This project was an earthquake rebuild. The site is located on the banks of the Avon River with the original home suffering major damage during the Christchurch Earthquake of 2011. Goom Landscapes had designed and constructed the pre-earthquake landscape and were the client’s first choice for the rebuild. The new house was a much more modern space, however, as with the previous lines and surfaces were to be very crisp and clean.

Everything bar the sunken courtyard and jetty on the river’s edge and boundary walls were removed from the site. Some peripheral planting was retained whilst other plants including the conifers along the driveway and tree ferns were removed, maintained in the Goom nursery throughout the build, and then replanted in the final design over a year later.

About the
Professional

Crafting extraordinary spaces & experiences outside. When your landscaping reflects your tastes & lifestyle it allows you to get the most out of your home & property. Whether your project is urban or rural, large or small, get Goom involved. Our team are equally excited about constructing beautiful outdoor spaces for our clients in both the country & the city.

We are devoted to providing the perfect balance between beauty, functionality & personalisation for our clients.

Because of this, every step of our process has been put in place to ensure that you receive the highest level of customer service and finished standard on your project.

We understand that everyone’s ideal landscape and garden will look a little different. It could be a built-in BBQ to entertain with family & friends, a lush haven to retreat to at the end of a long workday, or a pool for your family to play and refresh in. For this reason, our landscapes are bespoke to you. They are created to draw you outside and give you a reason to relax and stay awhile.

Add value to your lifestyle & property, with timeless gardens and outdoor living spaces designed to compliment & enhance your home.

Inspired by our love of nature & power tools, we originally set out to create beautiful & functional landscapes for people that wanted nice gardens, but didn’t know where to start. However, along the way we realised that our clients needed more help & support during the build process to guide their project to a great finish – so our design, manage, construct process was born.

Since starting the process in 2014, we have helped over 300 people build 150 life spaces – individually tailored to their homes and tastes. And have many more exciting projects in the pipeline!

One of the things that sets us apart is our craftsmanship, built from over 40+ years in the landscaping industry. Because of this experience, there is rarely a problem that we haven’t encountered before – meaning we understand how to get things done – on time, on budget & to Goom standard.

You will always find us striving to better ourselves & provide the best possible customer service, as we believe that our brand is only as good as our last job.
