The work
Each garden is a response to its property and its people. Newest first.

Designed in early, while the builders were still on site. From bare dunes in 2022 to a finished coastal garden in 2026: gravel paths, corten screens, native planting that can take the salt.
A full garden rebuild on a beachfront property, delivered on time and on budget. Coastal natives where the salt hits, a wider palette behind, corten gates and a pond courtyard added over the years since. “Tim is inventive and imaginative… we would have no hesitation in recommending him.” — Bill Ralston & Janet Wilson
A client relationship from 2019 to 2021 — from earthworks to an entrance that reads as one calm gesture. Corten-edged paths, layered green planting, and a deck that ties the cabin to the garden. “Tim listened to the overall vision of our project and executed exactly what we wanted.” — Danielle Lowy & Tom Harper
The brief: less lawn, more circulation, and fix the drainage. We opened up the entire front lawn, laid drainage, and relaid instant lawn with a softening path of corten steel and golden stone curving through new beds. A cedar hot tub sits in its own hedged retreat. Seven years on, the install and finished photos tell the story.
Ongoing work in the Weleda gardens — visitor paths, community planting days, and a garden that changes with every season.
A garden built up over six years of working together — pool, flower garden, punga retaining, and a gravel garden room with a place to sit.
A formal garden that fits an older home — clipped hedges, a pergola for long lunches, a gazebo at the end of the lawn. First designed in 2002; these photos are sixteen years of growth later. THIS IS MEANEE JOB
From concept render to built result — plastered block planters, new steps, and an entrance that welcomes you in. Proof the drawing becomes the garden. There should be some before images of this red brick
A lawn with borrowed views across the Bay, astelia-lined paths, and room to breathe.
Barberry and buxus along the drive, a vertical garden, and planting that has grown into itself over six years.
A recent project at Haumoana — design laid out on the lawn before a spade goes in.
