What North Shore conditions affect garden design?
These are typical North Shore factors we take into account when designing gardens:
Sloping blocks & terracing
We design level changes, steps and retaining solutions that create functional zones (not awkward, chopped-up spaces).
Established tree canopy & shade
Shade patterns and root zones guide plant selection, soil improvement, and what can realistically thrive under mature trees.
Sandstone/clay soils + drainage:
Soil type and stormwater flow influence everything – from plant health to paving. Drainage is considered early, not “fixed later.”
Privacy + view corridors:
We use layered screening (plants and where needed built elements) to block sightlines while protecting light, breeze and key outlooks.
