Subtropical Oasis in Maunu
The Zones Landscaping team started by removing all the weeds that had accumulated over time, as well as the large palms that were at the end of their lifecycle.
During this project, the clients were also carrying out renovation work on their home, so Jason and his team had to cooperate and communicate with other trades on site to ensure there were no scheduling conflicts.
Jason proceeded to construct a retaining wall made from timber, then established the lawn and garden parameters. The raised gardens and lawn areas had additional topsoil/ lawn mix applied before planting and contouring/sowing of the lawn was carried out.
The concrete patio and paths included zinc oxide and were bush hammered and sealed with charcoal grout at the joints to give it a decorative non slip finish.
Zones worked closely with both the designer and cllient when it came to plant selection, sizing, and placement. A range of subtropicals and natives were planted, including: nikau palms, westringia, hen and chicken ferns, hibiscus, cordyline negra, tractor seat plants, bird of paradise, frangipani, heuchera, coleus, as well as bedding plants for colour
