Recent projects
Decks, retaining, fencing, paving, lawns and full garden makeovers.
Beachfront lawn inside a hardwood deck
Ready lawn laid inside a hardwood deck surround, with timber edging and in-deck lights. Built for salt air and coastal wind.
New lawn and planting under the trees
Fresh lawn shaped around existing trees, timber edging, sleeper steps filled with chip, and new planting beds.
Stepping-stone garden beside the deck
Stepping stones through cream chip and river stones, with black sleeper edging, a composite step and new planting along the fence.
Artificial turf beside the deck
Lush 35 artificial turf laid in a Takapuna courtyard, between a timber deck and a black-stained fence. It stays green year-round with no mowing, and a well-prepared base underneath keeps it flat and free-draining.

Slatted screen fence on a stone base
A slatted screen fence on a stone-filled base in neighbouring Forrest Hill, giving privacy at the front boundary and holding back the soil.

Pebble garden, sleeper retaining and paver path
A tired strip of lawn beside the deck, which stayed damp and patchy, turned into a low-maintenance pebble garden. We built black sleeper retaining to set the levels, laid a curved paver stepping-stone path through cream chip, and edged the beds with river pebbles. The gravel lets water drain straight through, which matters on Greenhithe's clay soils.

From bare ground to a family garden under the trees
This section was overgrown, and once cleared it was bare soil under a group of established trees. We kept the trees, built timber retaining and sleeper-edged planting beds, and added a sleeper-and-gravel stepped path from the house. Then we laid a new lawn and planted out the borders. The family now has a usable, low-fuss backyard that works with the trees instead of fighting them.
