Landscape and Orchard Design
Orchard and lifestyle blocks, market gardeners, artisan food producers ...
We aim to get you the best results that last long into the future.
No matter your situation, our approach begins with the same philosophy; that every clients needs are unique. With this in mind our work looks to integrate your needs and your lands ability to give you the best results into the future. Our focus is on heirloom fruit trees and developing ecosystems that help support fruit trees to produce and thrive.
Our designs are based on permaculture and sustainability principals with an emphasis on mixed plantings that are strikingly natural and highly productive.
Our experience in this field has given us the skills and knowledge to read a land’s capabilities for optimal orchard production. We asses the best locations on your site for the best long-term results.
From design and implementation through to support and advice, no matter what size property you have, our aim is to see our customers fully enjoy the unique qualities of their investment for years to come.
“SITE VISITS – Due to a huge demand in consults and orchard installations, we have now reached our limit for this season. If you are still keen to work with us, send us a message to book in for a consult early next year!”
Our site visit and consultation are primarily intended to help you see the potential of your land. We do a walk over of your property with you where we discuss on what the best way forward is to achieve your vision.
From there, Benji will cover all aspects of any existing orchard that you may have and assist you with decisions based on what stays and what goes regarding the health of the orchard. Benji can cover different types of low maintenance systems that might suit your specific situation and speak of any improvements that may be identified.
Benji will also cover the new plantings of new fruit trees and look at the whole orchard design around maintenance, aesthetics and productivity. It’s helpful to have your priorities and wishes noted down prior to his arrival.
