Landscape Project Features
Landscape Project Profile: Sandy Lochhead, Zones Landscaping
Auckland’s northern region has seen a lot of growth in residential properties and landscape designer consultant Sandy Lochhead has been helping her clients transform their outdoor spaces from sites to sanctuaries. We spoke to Sandy about three recent projects that showcase how landscaping can add function, value and beauty to a property.
A Whitford Wonder by Onsite Landscapes
Onsite Landscapes specialise in rural lifestyle block landscaping, commercial landscaping and new-build landscape design. Based in Pukekohe - they work across Auckland and the Waikato. We spoke to Sean Polwart about a striking lifestyle property project they recently completed in Whitford.
Urban Flora's Backyard Sanctuary
In this month’s Landscape Project Profile, we chat with award-winning landscape designer Crystal Connell-Nash from Urban Flora Garden Design. Learn how she got started as a designer and check out one of her latest backyard transformations.
The Heart Foundation's Urban Orchard with Ripe Deli
The Heart Foundation and Ripe Deli's 'Urban Orchard' outdoor cafe is a sight to behold after transformative landscape design work from Neville Design Studio was implemented to perfection by the team at Feature Landscapes.

Lifestyle block – Seating Area
This project shows the transformation of an undeveloped site on a lifestyle block into an attractive seating area.
URBAN SANCTUARY FOR THE FAMILY
A busy Auckland family asked Boyd Gillespie of Zones Landscaping to create a space for them. Raised sleeper beds filled with Living Earth Garden Mix and mulched with Black decorative mulch set off the tropical-themed planting.
FAMILY VEGETABLE GARDEN - RAISED BEDS
This productive vegetable garden was constructed with macrocarpa sleepers and produces bountiful vegetable crops all year round for the family. The beds are lined with plastic for durability and the base filled with a 100mm layer of scoria to promote good drainage. Living Earth Garden Mix was placed in the beds and the planting began!
