A funky Fun and innovative approach to the creation of an accessible Kitchen garden on a steep slope. The use of concrete retaining walls and paths with dramatic curves and level changes creates interesting there dimensional and sculptural space while retaining full and easy movement between garden areas, Ramped access in preference to lots of steps adds to the drama of the design.
Colour plays a linking role and further enhances the sculptural design. This project illustrates how clever manipulation of site and shape can achieve a multitude of users and a delightfully functional kitchen garden. Well-crafted concrete work on an awkward sloping site using asymmetric curvilinear shapes. Cleaver eccentric resolution of changing slopes and reuse of existing concrete and water tank. striking old use of colour; red glasshouse, yellow wall and pots, blue pergola creates a fun lively area. Lovely timber work and particularly liked the integrated garden shed.
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:
