Auckland garden

A fence painted in a dark shade will also make a new garden appear more established. Garry Cullen of Ardmore Architects, used Resene Woodsman Crowshead to make the garden of this Auckland home appear lusher. “It’s a great colour to offset the foliage and to create the illusion of more space. It works as a ‘shadow’ to make the planted area appear deeper.” Pictured here: this Resene Woodsman Crowshead fence in a project by Ardmore Architects enhances the lush look of the subtropical plants.

A bare slope in Auckland was transformed into a calming Zen oasis with the clever use of rocks, boardwalks and Japanese planting

When the Elletts decided to move from the country to Auckland, they knew they'd need a great garden to keep them busy.
