Tropical Garden Oasis
This Tauranga garden upgrade transforms the outdoor space into a tropical, lush retreat. With a new stairway, bluestone pathways, raised corten pots, veggie beds, the design blends beauty and function. Layered, low-maintenance planting adds vibrant colour and texture, and screening acts as both a feature and to create practical yet stylish spaces. A balance of tropical luxury and easy-care living, designed to complement the home’s modern architecture.
