Private Outdoor Spa Area in Papamoa

When Papamoa landscaping specialist Nigel Ramsden first arrived at this almost idyllic Papamoa property, it quickly became apparent that the front area of the home could do with some reviving. The grass was “struggling to survive” and, apart from a few kinds of grass and fruit trees, the property featured very little planting. Ready for a transformation, the owners asked if Nigel and his team could design and implement a private spa area with a new garden at the front of the house - with further garden plans in the future line-up. 

Landscape design

“We designed the gardens for the whole property”, explains Nigel. “But the client just wanted this area built first. She was able to clearly see the area on the plan and we could give her an accurate cost.”  

Hardscaping and softscaping

Once Nigel’s team had developed a design and plan that suited the client’s ideas and budget, they got to work. The team removed the lawn (saving the existing fruit trees so that they could be replanted at a later date) and excavated. Sourcing many of the project’s supplies from Mitre 10, they then lay concrete paving for the spa area and installed steppers that would provide easy access to the deck and utility area. From there, the front of the property really started to transform.
