Windy, coastal and architectural sites are our favourite.

We visited Te Arai yesterday and were blown away by the colour and condition, even in the depths of winter.

This is a huge transformation, trusting nature to do its thing over time.

We always feel thankful to work on expansive sites like these, it’s fun getting to play with a big landscape & lots of clay.

Thank you to Topia Garden Design and the clients for trusting Rochford to execute your vision.

So cool to see the team flex their skills & tune their craft.

This is just one piece of a landscape install we recently executed. But a piece that felt significant. The clients wanted this area to feel like its own kitchen garden and Neville Design Studio. delivered exactly that. We were honoured to collaborate with him & absorb his craft along this project.

There was a time I’d have described what we do as labouring. Seen it as lower-tier work. I was guilty of undervaluing it. But I’ve completely changed my mind on that. This is a specialist field, and being in it means we get to work alongside some of the best landscape architects in New Zealand.

That’s not something we take lightly. We’ve leaned into what we are good at, and into bringing creativity & a level of artistry to what we do.

It’s fun. When you get it right.

A new part of how we build.

MappLab flies our sites before we get stuck in.

What used to take our team a full day on the ground, pulling levels and piecing it together, is done in a single flight. Heights, levels, contours, all of it, centimetre accurate.

The result is a digital terrain model so accurate we can plan cut and fill from day one, not figure it out halfway through the job.

It means our team is working off real data, not estimates. And that’s better for the build, better for the budget, and better for you as a client.

Read more about how it works over on the blog. Link in stories.

Some gardens need a reset before they need a routine.

These clients knew what they had. The garden had been beautifully designed, life just got in the way. We spent three days bringing it back.

If yours needs some love, we’d love to walk it through with you 🌿

Turns out I’ve been doing this whole thing wrong.

It took the team to show me my true potential.

Racing to get as much in the ground as we can before the rain hits.

These gorgeous Dypsis Baronii palms require a lot of care, it takes a solid team to carry them in right.

Big shoutout to Craig from Matakana Palms for guiding the crew. Yesterday was huge visual progress. 🌴

That long lost garden 😳

Sometimes gardens just get away from you, and that is exactly what we are here for.

We can help bring them back. Overgrown trees, ginger, ladder ferns, left unchecked they take over everything. Clear them out and let the sun back in.

Pro tip: When removing ginger organically, be thorough, it will regrow from even the smallest fragment of root left in the soil.

High end to humble, every project gets the same Rochford eye for detail.

Not a business post today…this one’s personal. Bear with me 🙏

This is a link to my nephew .beldi Instagram page, and I just need to tell you a bit about this kid….

Coe is one of a kind. On one hand you kind of want to throttle him, he can be the most disorganised, scatter-brained human on the planet, especially if you’ve worked with him 😂

But on the other hand, he’s wise beyond his years in a way that stops you in your tracks. You think: s**t, I have sooooo much to learn from this person.

A couple of years ago he finished school and booked a one-way ticket overseas. No money, barely shoes on his feet. Off he went to Ukraine, working at a sanctuary for endangered Carpathian water buffalo. Only Coe.

A year later he’s at an animal sanctuary in Morocco, where he falls in love with a street dog he named “Little.” His plan to get her to Switzerland? Walk there. Overland. With the dog and his leather suitcase, which doubles as a prop in his one-man busking show. Why Switzerland? “Because it looked like a nice place for dogs.”

Coe moves through the world seeing only the good in people, and because of that, doors just keep opening for him.

But here’s why I’m really posting this. During this walk he’s raising money to build a well in a village without access to safe drinking water. He’s pledged to raise $12,000 USD. That’s the mission.

His videos are chaotic, hilarious, and honestly worth following for the entertainment value alone, let alone the cause.

Follow him, share this, and if you can throw a few bucks toward the well, that would be amazing.

Thank you for reading 🐾 Todd
