This customer presented us with a problem area that was bothering them in their gardens. After installing a new section to their own gardens they now had a section that was not maintainable with their lawn mower. We came up with a beautiful solution that matches their unique flagstone flower be edging. This project came out great and fits the gardens perfectly.

Shrub roses, perennials and container gardens provide color and texture from early spring through late fall. Large flat boulders punctuate the planting beds and denote changes in level while providing the homeowner with the deliberate nooks and platforms to showcase garden art and sculpture.

This project, sitting on a little more than 3.5 acres on Rivercrest was completed in 3 years with a total square footage of more than 26,000 square feet. Typically modern homes are smaller. At a certain size, usually around 4,000 square feet, the difficulty with modern or contemporary architecture becomes scale, and the minimalist idea gets lost. Whenever you get to this scale of house at over 26,000 square feet, this problem adds a layer of complexity. Connie Anderson Photography

Some of this dressing room was existing but not performing too well so with a little bit of re-organizing it now works really well. Shoe storage is always a problem so we took advantage of a deep area were we added a double deep shoe rack, very easy to do for anyone.

This space was once a master closet with a one foot square window where the window is now. The entire room was rearranged except for the toilet. The mirrored wall of closet is where the old windowless sink and vanity area was. Heated floors make the open shower no problem. Image by Lauren Edith Andersen

Creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) is an evergreen, low growing ground cover that is extremely low maintenance. It is tolerant of a wide range of conditions from sunny to part shady and with very dry to normal soil. This photo was taken just a few months after installation of one-gallon size plants. The fast growth and explosion of spring color is due to providing optimum conditions. We prepared the soil in the area 6" deep rather than planting in hard compacted clay. The client was amazed and delighted that we could turn this problem area into the envy of the neighborhood in just a few months. With another years growth, this ground cover will be a solid beautiful mass of drifting spring color. Photographer: Danna Cain, Home & Garden Design, Inc.

Distributed by Timspec, Accoya was used chosen as the ideal material to clad a show home in Auckland. Accoya was selected for the black coated weatherboards on the front section of the house, due to its durability and stability benefits. Because of Accoya’s modification technique it is the ideal wood for external cladding such as this. Generally, problems can occur with darker coatings on cladding, due to shrink and swell being exasperated by the solar gain. But, Accoya wood’s superior dimensional stability negates this problem and maintenance intervals are dramatically extended. The cladding needed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as highly durable in order to withstand the extreme climates in New Zealand. Accoya was also chosen due to its rot resistant benefits and its ability to deter insects in these types of environments.
