TIME FOR MAYTIME
As the dynamic Christchurch city continues to rebuild, and our green spaces are designed and planted, we welcome fellow New Zealanders to our beautiful business and urban cityscape. Local firm, Maytime Landscape Design is proud to be part of this process.
The team is led by Ann Kennedy, botanist and ecologist of Canterbury. Ann has always been passionate about natural and created urban gardens, and ten years ago, she set up Maytime. The overall philosophy is to harness the power of plants to develop inspiring gardens and to create a sense of place, your place – a place to be proud of.
Redesigning a garden is an exciting prospect. Garden landscaping is the ideal way to craft an attractive space that gives you a beautiful environment and a practical layout that allows you to use your garden how you wish.
Maybe you are inspired by quiet, shaded gardens where family and friends may gather or fragrant gardens that fill the evening air with soft perfumes. Or perhaps the creation of cottage gardens growing tantalising herbs, summer salads, and micro greens or orchard fruits and berry gardens is more your style. Whatever the garden of your dreams is, it is at your fingertips with Maytime’s wealth of design expertise.
The day-to-day activities of the business include a variety of tasks. The initial contact with the client is a site visit to discuss the options and issues involved. This is where client preferences are noted and recorded. Following this, Maytime produces initial drawings and provides a list of appropriate plantings.
Other concepts such as soil, wind and water, seasons, and maintenance are researched and reported on. Where hard landscaping is required, high-quality contractors will be engaged and coordinated with.
When the team knows that they have achieved total client satisfaction, final drawings are produced.
The dedicated people of Maytime work closely with their clients to ensure that the entire planning process is ideal for them, their family, and their lifestyle.
