These Orakei homeowners knew precisely what they wanted – to turn their steep, inaccessible garden into something worth maintaining in Auckland’s dry weather conditions. The catch: it needed to be completed over winter before they holidayed abroad.

Zones Landscaping met their expectations, solving the complex problems of landscaping on a slope and installing an effective irrigation system, bringing in specialists where needed. Even with an unexpected lockdown, the project was completed on time.

Landscaping Consultant Kate Ryan shared the homeowners’ eye for design and devised unique solutions for their landscape, including curved corten steel retaining that perfectly matched their home’s modern architecture.
