What are some outdoor renovation ideas?

Get excited because the sky's the limit when it comes to outdoor renovations! For homeowners lucky enough to live in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, it makes sense to prioritise your outdoor living. Decks, patios, and pergolas add a new level of liveability to your home by providing additional recreational and entertaining space. There’s nothing quite like sharing food with friends on a spacious deck or enjoying a twilight family BBQ. You could also consider features such as built-in fire pits or a woodfired pizza oven to really make the space a cosy entertaining hub.

If things are looking a bit unkempt, then new pathways, planting, and lighting can transform your outdoor areas. These features often make a major impact for minimal time and disruption. Try incorporating a customised piece of outdoor art into the overall design to further reflect your personality.

Addressing the basics well can also help transform (and protect) your property. We can help with painting, guttering, and roofing, which can give your home a cost-effective facelift and boost your street appeal.

Whether you know exactly what you want, or don’t even know where to begin, our Landscape Consultants are experts who can work with you to achieve your goals.

What materials should I use for the hardscape (e.g., patio, deck, walkways)?

Selecting the right materials for your hardscape elements, such as patios, decks, and walkways, is a crucial aspect of landscape design in Tauranga or any location. A qualified landscape designer or consultant can provide expert guidance in choosing the ideal materials based on your specific garden design needs and preferences.

Common materials for hardscape features include natural stone, pavers, concrete, wood, and composite materials. The choice depends on factors like aesthetics, durability, budget, and how well the materials complement the overall landscape design. To design a landscape garden or backyard that truly stands out, it's essential to collaborate with experienced professionals who understand the unique demands of landscaping and gardening services in your region, ensuring a harmonious and visually appealing outdoor space.

What is the best layout and design for my outdoor space?

Determining the best layout and design for your outdoor space depends on various factors, including your preferences, needs, and the available space. Zones Landscaping specializes in creating tailored outdoor designs, and here are some considerations to help you achieve the ideal layout and design:

Functional Zones: Start by defining the primary functions of your outdoor space. Do you want an area for dining, relaxation, gardening, or entertaining? Zones can help you create distinct zones within your outdoor space to accommodate these functions seamlessly.

‍Flow and Accessibility: Consider how you and your guests will move through the outdoor area. Zones focuses on creating efficient and inviting pathways and transitions between different zones, ensuring easy access and a natural flow.

Aesthetic Style: Your outdoor design should reflect your personal style and complement your home's architecture. Zones Landscaping can assist in selecting materials, colors, and landscaping elements that align with your aesthetic preferences, whether it's modern, traditional, rustic, or contemporary.

Privacy and Screening: Zones understands the importance of privacy in outdoor spaces. Depending on your location and preferences, we can incorporate privacy screens, hedges, or fencing to create a secluded and tranquil atmosphere.

How can I create shade and shelter in my outdoor space?

Pergolas: Pergolas are a versatile and stylish option for providing shade and shelter. Zones Landscaping recommends using adjustable louvers for pergolas, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight and shade you desire. These can be fully closed for protection from rain or partially opened to enjoy the sunshine. The article highlights the benefits of incorporating motorized systems, which make adjusting the louvers effortless and convenient.

‍Retractable Awnings: Retractable awnings are a practical and space-saving choice. Zones suggests using awnings with UV-resistant fabric that can withstand New Zealand's weather conditions. These awnings can be easily extended or retracted to provide shade when needed and can cover larger areas than fixed structures.

Shade Sails: Shade sails offer a cost-effective and visually appealing way to create shade in your outdoor space. The article recommends high-quality, durable fabrics for shade sails that provide effective UV protection. Zones emphasizes the importance of proper tensioning and installation to ensure the sails are stable and safe.
