Second Nature are specialists in collaborating with independent design professionals to deliver quality landscaping projects for our clients. This project is another successful collaboration between Damian Wendelborn of Urbanite Landscape Design and Second Nature.

A magnificent (and protected) Pohutukawa dominates the small back yard. Access to the site and the backyard was challenging. The client’s brief was to make the space inviting, attractive and to include a small swimming pool. Damien’s garden design elegantly resolved these challenges and has created a unique, beautiful and very useable outdoor living environment.
Any garden design in a small space demands an extra level of attention to detail as all elements are viewed from close quarters.. In this project, Damian was masterful with the detailing of every constructed element.

To deliver this project the Second Nature Team had to meet the many demands and challenges that the project presented. Access was limited, careful protection of the protected Pohutukawa was required and the working space very restricted. Effective project management was required throughout the project. The Second Nature team successfully delivered the clearance, excavation works, masonry walls, tile wall cladding, detailed decking, seating, timber steps, cedar boundary fencing, permeable paving, soil preparation, planting, automatic irrigation and lawn construction.  Our talented construction team revelled in the opportunity to build the beautifully designed and crafted timber elements. The swimming pool was expertly constructed by Frontier Pools – a long-standing project partner.   

Our specialist amenity horticulture team installed and continues to maintain the planted elements of the garden. The garden has matured and stands as testimony to a successful collaboration between inspired design, skilled craftspeople and a delightful client.

“I have used Second Nature on both my beach house at Castle Rock, Whangarei Heads and also my Auckland home garden. They have completed work for us at various times over a period of six to seven years. Chris understands very well what I like and he’s very good at coming up with suggestions and interpreting the direction we want to pursue. He’s extremely easy to deal with. He’s very practical, not afraid to express a contrary opinion but also willing to listen and be flexible. Everybody loves the results he and his team have achieved. At our Auckland home, construction work included sheds, pergolas and a daybed, all built to a very high quality. Second Nature’s project management was excellent and very proactive. Whenever I came home the Second Nature team were extremely helpful. They were unobtrusive, polite and enthusiastic. The project leader would always have a chat, providing feedback, comments and a general update. Worksheets were left behind every day so I was always kept abreast with progress of the schedule and the costings to date.”
