Remaining gardens are planted out with New Zealand native trees and a gorgeous kowhai was successfully transplanted onsite. Pathways have been finished predominantly with compacted aggregate to keep cost down yet maintain a very solid and skid resistant surface.

Paving stones have been laid under a re-positioned existing washing line which leads onto over-sized stairs up to an existing Gazebo. The main access to the house has been upgraded with a new staircase with single sided handrail that spirals through the trees up to the street above.
