Asian Inspired Garden


An inspiring new build on Hemi Matenga in Waikanae, the client brief for the proposed landscaping project was for an Asian inspired garden, featuring a dry stone creek, a paved seating area and planting incorporating NZ native and Asian species.

'Jayne did an initial landscape plan including detailed hardscape and plant recommendations. We were amazed at how she exactly captured what we wanted but had no idea how to create ourselves. We’ve very much followed her plan and couldn’t be happier. Tai did a great job with the curved corten steel retaining wall, front step, footbridge and screens. Rick and his team perfectly placed all the stepping stones, bunds and stones for our dry river bed and front area to create a peaceful (and low maintenance) oasis. Jayne helped us source and place the plants which are growing in beautifully. We can’t wait to finish the plan next year and watch the plants mature'.
