The McKinney Garden is a modern design response with strong lines linking well with the historic arts and crafts house. A lush area of planting provides a visual calmness when viewed from the indoor and outdoor living areas.

This is a small complex space, designed utilising vertical and horizontal interventions in order to maximise the impact and usability of the area.

This contemporary backyard incorporates mixed materials convincingly.

The judges were impressed with the quality of the exposed concrete treads from the deck down to the garden, and the use of lighting. All built to a very high standard.

The garden seems bigger than it is because of the quality of the planting. Careful placement of trees and shrubs so as to not plant out views through to neighbouring houses is a refreshing gesture, which also makes the garden seem bigger.

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
  • We aim to meet and exceed your expectations.
  • Increase the value of your largest asset
