Welcome to my new website!

Would you believe that I first started my landscape design business way back in 2001.

Fresh off the boat from Wellington - where I had been working as a landscape contractor - I gradually built up my design clientele. At first, the bulk of my work, being based in Ohoka, was in developing lifestyle blocks around North Canterbury. However, as my business grew so did the diversity of the work.   

Fifteen years later, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction looking back at all the designs. Many of my clients have remained good friends and I continue to watch with interest the wonderful evolution that arises from a decade or so of plant growth and use.

Although almost all of my work has come through word of mouth over the years, creating a website seemed like a great opportunity to collate the work and also connect to new people and opportunities.

Here on this BLOG page - I will be displaying many of my current and past projects plus a few musings on various related topics.

To get the ball rolling... here is a picture from my first design project back in 2001. This was one of the first residential builds at the Clearwater Resort. One of major elements of this design was this walled courtyard shown below. A long water channel spilled down to a central sunken pool. Raised plastered beds allowed for generous foliage and defined the other functional spaces for relaxing and playing outdoor Chess.

What Andrew's Clients Are Saying

"Andrew listened carefully to us to work out what we were aiming for. Like a good architect does, he came up with a great design that fits well with our style and bettered our vague ideas by far. It was worth getting him for the unique shape of the deck alone, which is stylish and modern. It complements our house and garden brilliantly, and everyone who comes comments on how good it looks. Not to mention the wonderful planting plan, which is precise, easy to follow and full of beautiful plants. He's been helpful with tips while we've been putting the plan into action too. I'd certainly recommend him and would use him again if I had another garden."
