Front & Backyard Landscape Design
Here at GK Creations, we can implement your landscaping project and manage your job. From landscape design and planning right through to completion and garden maintenance we cover all of your landscaping needs. If need be, we can even facilitate the smooth transition between other tradies.
Our team does whatever it takes to ensure your project runs smoothly and get the best result. Not only do we strive to create and implement a garden that is 100% you, but we are also committed to delivering it on time and within budget the first time around.
Striking the perfect balance between hard and soft landscaping is the key to achieving a successful design in your outdoor space. We consider all aspects of where you live, including the climate, weather, soil, and water availability. Putting plants in a suitable environment is vital for creating the perfect finished product.
This is where GK Creation stands out from the rest. Our care and attention to detail show in all of our landscape design work.
Critical considerations when designing your landscape
During our consultation and the early parts of the design phase, our team will put together a thorough plan on how we will implement your new landscape. Let us take you through some of the key aspects that we will consider.
Where you live
We consider all aspects of where you live. That includes the climate, weather, water availability, and soil. Servicing the wider Auckland area, we find that there is a lot of diversity across the region, which has prepared us for all kinds of front & backyards.
Auckland has frequent water restrictions, storms, and a generally humid climate. The GK Creations landscaping team can give you a hand selecting the best plants that can withstand these conditions and thrive in your existing soil. We will design drainage systems that protect them from flooding and account for where your property is most exposed to sun and wind all year round.
How you use your outdoor space
Your unique lifestyle will have a big impact on what landscape planting we do.
Do you imagine yourself and your family playing a lot of sports on a wide, green lawn? Have you got a dog that needs space to run around or a cat that loves to explore dense bush? Can you picture yourself entertaining at a fantastic barbecue area? Do you want a tranquil nook where you can enjoy some quiet time to read?
In addition to how you use your outdoor space, we will account for how you want it to look aesthetically, along with your budget, and how much maintenance you will be able to put in.
We will create a design that attends to any and all of your needs.
Structuring your plants
Different plants have different functions, which can generally be grouped into three categories: aesthetics, structure, and use. Having a mix of plants that are visually appealing, provide shade and modify the temperature, and help control noise and privacy is the best way to cultivate a well-balanced landscape.
We can structure your plants in a way that creates an enclosure in your yard, layering them on the horizontal and vertical planes to create visually appealing dynamics. The way we structure your plants will be done with a critical eye, and each plant will serve to both complement and contrast its neighbours.
Any hardscaping you want to include, such as patios, courtyards, pools, sculptures, and pavers, will all be included in our plan. We also make sure to take time into account: both how long it takes us to finish the project, as well as what your garden could look like in a year, five years or ten.
