Adding Value to Your Property
Of all the home improvements you can do to add value to your home the most effective is an attractive low-maintainance garden. Research done by Consumer Magazine put the return for a dollar spent on your garden ahead of such things as new kitchen, interior redecoration, new carpets, exterior painting or installing a swimming pool.
USE THE PROFESSIONALS:Home landscaping is one of the last bastions of DIY and self-expression. But even the most creative of us can benefit from sound professional advice. Our trained staff at Kings Plant Barn will help you select the right plants for your place. We have designers who work with us to help you put the look together, and we can refer you to qualified landscapers, gardeners and arborists. |
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:Ask us how to create that stylish welcoming entrance that sets the scene for your home. We have great pots, superb and unusual plants and good ideas for the right look for you. Whether you are settling to stay or preparing your property for sale, a smart front entrance will add value to your home. Try classic glazed pots with standard or topiary plants for timeless elegance. Box, Camellias or Daphne will flourish in a shady entranceway. Citrus, standard roses, Rosemary or colourful Coprosma topiary will work in a sunny spot. Traditional terracotta in non traditional shapes will house Citrus, Lavender, Rosemary and herbs in the Mediterranean and French provincial setting. We have sculptural succulents and spiky characters for a modern setting and new stylish containers to house them. |
SCREENING AND PRIVACY:
Add value to your lifestyle by planting for a privacy. Ask us to help you with the right plants for your place.
Leptospermum "Copper sheen" and Radamachera sinica (Canton Lace) quickly fill out with round heads of dense foliage. They cope with damp clay and dry places too and can be pruned to shape.
Norfolk Island Hibiscus (Lagunaria patersonii) and the native Akeake (Dodonea viscosa) will speedily grow into erect narrow trees for restricted spaces. They both prefer a drier soil but Rewarewa (Knightia excelsa) stands damp soil and bring Tui’s too.
Think long term and add some of our unique trees along your boundaries. Rimu, Totara and Kauri take many years to reach a size that might be a nuisance. With their narrow upright habit they take up less space than many popular garden trees.
In coastal locations think Olives, Feijoa’s and Norfolk Island Hibiscus to shelter you from the wind as well as the neighbours.
