Coatesville Project
Transforming Outdoor Living in Coatesville, Auckland
At Lush Environments, we had the pleasure of working on an expansive landscaping project in Coatesville, Auckland. This project was a perfect reflection of our commitment to quality, design excellence, and the seamless integration of natural surroundings with functional outdoor living spaces. Coatesville is known for its picturesque rural landscape, and our goal was to create an outdoor environment that complemented the property’s natural beauty while offering a stunning, practical space for the homeowners to enjoy.
Client Brief and Objectives
Our Coatesville clients wanted a complete outdoor transformation that incorporated a lush garden, a functional entertainment area, and an aesthetically pleasing design that worked harmoniously with the semi-rural environment. They requested:
- A large outdoor entertaining space, including a patio and outdoor kitchen.
- A garden design that highlighted native plants and sustainable practices.
- Paved pathways connecting the different outdoor areas.
- A low-maintenance lawn solution that would thrive in the Coatesville climate.
- A natural-looking water feature that added tranquillity and a focal point to the garden
Site Challenges
Coatesville’s rural setting presented some challenges, including undulating land and natural water flow issues. As with many Auckland properties, weather conditions were a consideration when selecting materials and plants. We focused on developing a design that not only worked aesthetically but also addressed practical issues such as drainage, soil erosion, and durability in changing weather conditions.
Design and Planning
After our initial consultation, the Lush Environments team created a bespoke design plan that catered to the clients’ needs and the natural landscape. Our plan included:
Hard Landscaping:
We built a large patio space using durable stone pavers that blended beautifully with the home’s exterior. The outdoor kitchen was fitted with premium fixtures, perfect for hosting gatherings. We also included a series of paved pathways to lead guests around the garden.
Soft Landscaping:
Our planting plan focused on native flora such as Pōhutukawa, Hebes, and grasses that would thrive in the local environment. The design aimed to reduce maintenance needs while supporting local wildlife and ensuring longevity.
Water Features:
We designed and installed a natural stone water feature to create a calming atmosphere and serve as the garden’s focal point. The sound of running water added to the serene, peaceful ambiance the clients desired.
Irrigation and Drainage Systems:
Given Coatesville’s fluctuating weather, we installed an efficient irrigation system to ensure that plants remained lush year-round. We also addressed natural water flow by incorporating sustainable drainage solutions to prevent erosion and flooding during heavy rains.
Project Completion and Results
The Coatesville project was completed within the estimated time frame, and the results were breathtaking. The large outdoor entertaining area provided a central hub for family and friends, while the native garden and water feature added a sense of peace and tranquillity. Our clients were thrilled with the low-maintenance solutions we provided, allowing them to enjoy their space without constant upkeep.
The project was not only about creating a beautiful garden, but it also exemplified Lush Environments’ commitment to sustainable landscaping practices, ensuring that every element complemented the Coatesville landscape and was designed to last.
