We would like to thank all our clients for their support this year, and wish all of you a fantastic 2017.

2016 has been a great year for The Real Garden Company, at the start of the year we were still operating with just 3 of us, and over the last 12 months we have grown to 5 of us, as well as using a large number of hard working back packers on some of the larger projects.

None of that could have happened without the ongoing support of all of our regular clients, and it certainly couldn't have happened without the hard work and commitment of everyone working for The Real Garden Company.

Thank you all very much for this, and we're looking forward to what 2017 has in store for us! 

The last few months of 2016 have been extremely busy for us, and we have worked on a few projects that we haven't had time to put on the blog.
Now the year has ended it's time to share some more photos of these jobs.
This was a very nice replacement of an old ponga log wall which was starting to fall apart.
​The owner decided he loved the look of the logs so much, he wanted new ones to replace the old ones.
We agreed, and it looked great once it was done!
​

This job consisted of two parts, the first was to extend an existing level raised area to accomodate a swimming pool over the summer period, and the second part was to reduce the width of an existing raised planter which ran along the boundary of the property.
Bad weather over October didn't help with this project, but it got done and looks great now it's all finished!

This was the last big job we completed in 2016, a new garden for clients in Havelock North.
We provided the design for this back yard, and then installed the finalised plan over the last few weeks before Christmas.
Two concrete pads were made, one for a spa pool and one for a garden shed.
Once these were in we installed the macrocarpa garden edging, and then made two concrete paths coneecting all the areas together.
Composting, planting and mulching were next, and the ready lawn went down last, to give the happy owners a lovely new garden for 2017!
