Growplan: Structured Landscapes

Lifestyle blocks offer country living in an area that is likely more densely populated than a farming area. This necessitates making best use of the land and minimising visual and acoustic disruption (to and from neighbours).

With new builds include me with your architect and builder. I can identify and integrate valuable existing features into your plans and assist with service placement (sewage, fresh water, power/phone, net & wireless). Access, parking and shelter also need early consideration.

General lifestyle block considerations:

• Home landscape, patio and entertaining areas
• Road frontage, driveway and parking
• Shelter and tree planting
• Orchard, vegetable garden, pet areas
• Integration of home business or B&B with rest of property e.g.
• Activity and recreation e.g. childrens play area, bmx, motocross, equestrian
• Minimise maintenance through design
• Screening out sheds, outbuildings, yards or unwanted views on neighbouring properties
• Acoustic design (rough, irregular surfaces such as plants, rocks and rough ground disrupt sound)
