Transformations & Projects Gallery
Landscape Design Inspiration – From Naturalistic Gardens to Outdoor Living Retreats
Take a look through our galleries of landscape design inspiration, where each image captures a real-world transformation crafted by Distinctive Home and Landscapes. From lush, layered plantings that soften hard edges to naturalistic garden layouts that celebrate New Zealand’s native beauty, every project is tailored to suit the lifestyle, location, and personality of our clients.
Our designs range from sophisticated outdoor living areas with built-in seating, pergolas, and fire features, to decorative paving and statement pathways that elevate everyday spaces. We specialise in weaving together the latest garden trends with timeless appeal, whether that means blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living, creating wildlife-friendly native gardens, or forming intimate “pockets of peace” filled with texture, colour, and seasonal interest.
If you’re seeking ideas for a modern garden walkway framed by architectural plants, a cozy sunken seating area perfect for evening gatherings, or a sustainable, low-maintenance garden that thrives in Wellington’s climate, you’ll find inspiration here. Many of our projects also integrate practical solutions like privacy screening, wind protection, and clever lighting to extend usability well beyond daylight hours.
Our gallery reflects not only our design expertise but also our commitment to working with each client’s vision. Whether your dream is a simple refresh or a complete outdoor renovation, we combine function, beauty, and craftsmanship to create spaces you’ll love for years to come.
Browse our gallery, imagine the possibilities, and get in touch to discuss how we can bring your ideas to life. With Distinctive Home and Landscapes, your outdoor transformation starts here.
