HOUSE OF THE YE AR 2020

Welcome

to the Registered Master Builders House of the Year 2020 magazine for the Southern Region In what has been an unpredictable year, the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition has forged ahead – and the results are more impressive than ever. The calibre of the new builds and renovations entered into the prestigious annual event wowed our construction and architectural expert judges. We hope you feel inspired viewing the work of the Master Builders in your region. The results go live at www.houseoftheyear.co.nz on 14 November. Allister Saville, President | Registered Master Builders Central Otago Branch

We’re celebrating This year Registered Master Builders is celebrating 30 years of the House of the Year competition. It’s hard to believe we’ve been inviting our expert builders to enter this event for three decades. It has evolved into a highly anticipated competition showcasing some of the country’s most well-constructed new builds and renovations. We’d like to thank all our builders past and present for making House of the Year the success it is today.

The highest points-scoring Gold Awards in each category become the Category winners. The highest points-scoring Category winners are named the Local Supreme Winner for a New Build and the Local Supreme Winner for a Renovation. As well as being judged for building excellence, entries are rated for their lifestyle value. There are kitchen, bathroom, outdoor living and sustainable home awards and excellence in workmanship is recognised by the Craftsmanship Award.

PROFILE

Home FRONT

Annabel Berry, owner and creative director of Design Federation in Ōamaru, shares her expertise and style tips

ward-winning interior designer Annabel Berry works on residential and commercial projects in North Otago. In her shop you'll find a range of New Zealand-designed homeware, gifts and clothing. She also has an online store.

‘If your sofa has good bones, consider getting it covered in new fabric.’

How would you describe your home style? My aesthetic is coastal: fresh whites, blues and a mix of vintage and new furniture and furnishings. I’m just as comfortable in a high-end design store as a second-hand one. I lean towards soft, dusty colours for a calm, considered palette.

Clockwise from above: Annabel Berry, owner and creative director of Design Federation in her Ōamaru store; the interior designer's bedroom with navy walls and headboard covered in painterly Bluebellgray linen fabric; Annabel designed this coast-inspired kitchen for a Kakanui beachhouse.

What inspires you about living in your region? The beautiful Waitaki district and its people provide so much inspiration for our projects. We have such a beautiful client base who come to us because of our knowledge and skills, but also because of our attitude towards design. We are unpretentious and fun. What’s the last thing you bought for your home? A beautiful new round oak dining table after my children destroyed our last one with permanent markers and glue during lockdown. We plan to incorporate a bench seat around the new table that will be for dining only (no more homework). What’s your favourite room in the house? Our bedroom because I made this space a sanctuary for us. The walls are a deep navy blue with the main focal point a headboard in painterly Bluebellgray linen fabric. Our drapes are double tracked sheers. It’s a dream to sleep there every night.

R EGIS TER ED M AS TER BU ILDERS

What trend do you wish would make a comeback? A statement sofa in a lounge makes such an impact and would be a good trend to bring back – think burnt orange, ochre, velvets or patterned upholstery. If your sofa has good bones, consider getting it covered in new fabric.

If money was no object, what would you buy for your home? I’d extend our house by adding an upstairs and put our bedroom up there. The view is incredible. Where would you spend the bulk of a renovation budget? Great joinery makes such a difference to a home, ensuring you get bespoke cabinetry, shelving, built-ins, wardrobes and of course your kitchen and bathroom. The benefits of professional painting should never be underestimated. What would you go budget on? You’re better to invest in quality rather than buy something cheap and have to replace it sooner. If you can’t do everything at once, do it in stages. You’ve got a day to refresh your house. What do you do? Put everything away that can go away and start with a clean slate. Then consider the look and feel you want New cushions, throws, rugs and accessories will bring an entirely new look to your space. Consider moving artworks around. This will make it feel fresh and new. What should everyone invest in? Every home should have upholstered headboards on beds – once you have slept with one you won't go back. They look good and centre your bedroom. www.designfederation.co.nz

On the hillside at The Preserve is Hidden Island, an exceptional home designed to maximise 360-degree views. The 800sqm home, with 200sqm of terraces and decks, has also been designed to blend into the landscape through use of discreet materials and a clever palette. Two house forms are set into the natural ridgeline beneath the Remarkables and overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the Jack’s Point golf course. A two-storied wing faces the mountains to the east. The upper level contains three bedrooms, an office and a separate living area, while there are a garage, storage and laundry area below. The west

wing faces the lake and has the main living spaces. A separate wing has guest suites. Elements such as the cantilevered staircase off a travertine wall, honed blue stone and feature steelwork demonstrate attention to detail. Achieving a thermally efficient and low-energy home was a critical part of the brief. The response is a highperforming thermal envelope with a heavily insulated roof, while thermally broken, double-glazing and large eaves regulate heat during the summer. A ground-source heating system and photo-voltaic solar panels were also installed. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Meticulous planning was required to build this grand residence in an exclusive Arrowtown enclave. With eight homes already completed, access was challenging on the narrow street. Additionally, the house touched all set backs of the section and access to the front presented issues, particularly with getting the 3x3m recycled hardwood beams to site. All the hard work in this high-end mountain home, has been worth it. Scale is celebrated, with recycled beams a focal point beyond the huge 480kg pivoting front door. Quality finishes and details feature throughout – there is

a mix of Hope’s steel thermally broken, APL Vantage thermally broken Low-E, and Italian imported windows. Flooring is aged solid oak. The house is built for solar gain to supplement the ground-source heating and has been future-proofed by wiring for a solar heating system. Rainwater is collected into underground tanks with any excess discharged in the stormwater system. The owner’s brief was for a home for entertaining. The kitchen, wine cellar, luxurious lounge, fire, media room and sauna mean all the boxes are ticked. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Five pavilions built around a sheltered entrance and forecourt are key elements of this luxurious elevated 890sqm home. The exquisite living areas and open-plan kitchen look out to the lake. The latter is designed to draw in the view, while also meeting the brief of simple and pared back. Sleek double islands and handle-free cabinetry are key to its streamlined look, while stone, steel and blackstained oak have been selected to align with the main architectural elements of the living wing. The remaining pavilions – a family wing, garage with

a loft providing additional guest accommodation and a main bedroom wing with ensuite – are further back on the site. The ensuite has natural stone, oak and European gunmetal tapware, which create an opulent, yet understated oasis. The brass lighting, brass-framed mirrors, freestanding furniture and double vanities with marble basins were all custom made in New Zealand. The exterior includes lightly bagged local schist, blackened mild steel rainscreen, stained cedar garage doors, ACM fascias and glass facades. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Mimicking the majesty of the surrounding mountains, interior living is grand here. Stud heights scale up to four metres, accessing sensational views and light throughout. Natural materials are another aspect of the surrounding environment that can be appreciated in this impressive home. Local schist and timber weatherboards grace the entrance and stone is carried through to an internal wall. Triple-glazed oversized windows fill the hallway with light. Views over The Hills golf course start to open

All three bathrooms are fully tiled and much of the joinery throughout the two-bedroom home is custom made. Warmth has been carefully considered across the 450sqm footprint and includes underfloor heating, eco poly block and thermal resins. There’s even an internal sauna for deep relaxation.

A large sculptural form has appeared on the shores of Lake Hāwea – but it doesn’t dominate the landscape. That’s because the five-bedroom luxury home has been designed so it can never be seen in its entirety from outside the property. On the street, the higher parts of the southern roof are only visible through vegetation, and the northern roof is low so the house can’t be spotted from the lake. Zinc roofing, stained cedar and charcoal-coloured aluminium also help it merge into its surroundings. Built to replace a much-loved family crib, the 470sqm home rolls out across two wings and is oriented to the

lake and mountain views in the same way the original cottage was. The lower wing is where you’ll find the living, dining and kitchen hub, along with two bedrooms. The kitchen, situated between living areas and opening to a sheltered outdoor area, has a combination of stainless steel, blackened steel and Gaboon Plywood joinery. The upper wing, on top of a double garage, houses guest bedrooms. The home is laid out for passive solar gain. Roofs that angle down to the north have eaves that screen highsummer sun but let in the lower winter rays. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

An elevated site with multi-layered 360-degree alpine views warranted statement architecture, and this modern take on the traditional Otago high-country homestead fits the bill beautifully. The layout of HawkRidge consists of two traditional homestead-style buildings clad in stone and horizontal dark-stained cedar. In contrast to this vernacular style, the pair are joined by modern cubic forms in vertical cedar. The home is designed to be family friendly, but with three strategically placed doors it can easily be transformed into a luxury homestay with multiple

guest accommodation options. With sustainability in mind, the home is crafted using an extensive mix of natural products. Repurposed hardwood timbers have been used for exposed structural members, stair treads, bathroom vanities and more. Local artefacts, such as irrigation pipes, farming implements and mooring chains used in handles, lighting and bathroom fixtures, add yet another layer of charm to this hand-crafted home that has successfully blended traditional, contemporary and sustainable style.

The long, horizontal layers of this home’s roofline mirror the ocean’s horizon – a theme that continues throughout the property. The floating nature of these roof planes is accentuated through the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling glazing and minimalist detailing. The high degree of thermal efficiency from the ceiling and floor enables the home to have 86 per cent glazing, enhancing and preserving the spectacular coastal views while capturing the thermal gain from the inland, northerly aspect.

The bathroom is an airy and bright space that leads the eye towards the ocean, beyond the large stacked doors. Features such as the floor-to-ceiling glass divide and custom joinery enhance the simple lines of this room. You’ll find 150sqm of decks and the main, north-facing deck is sheltered from the sea breeze and bathed in sun. The custom-designed kitchen blends seamlessly with the open-plan dining/living area. With all appliances either integrated or out of sight, the onlooker is not distracted from the view of the beach or the inland hills. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Willow House was designed to make the most of its sloping Queenstown site. The Kelvin Heights section borders Lake Wakatipu and has a sunny northerly aspect, making it a win-win for the owners. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house was designed to take advantage of the lake views, passive light and heat and also to minimise the impact of a three-storey building on the neighbourhood. As a result, the north facade was stretched to almost the limit toward the western and eastern sides and the whole house was broken into smaller parts.

The 305sqm home, which has three bathrooms and two living rooms, is a showcase for stratification. The upstairs bedrooms are in a metal-clad ‘box’, which sits on two schist walls on the next floor down. The rest of this floor has extensive glazing and the concrete garage, which is further down the slope, is below. A ‘mammoth’ amount of insulation was used in Willow House – underfloor water heating, double glazing and thermally broken door and window frames – to keep the owners warm in the coldest Central Otago winters.

This home, set high on a rocky hillside with 180-degree views of Lake Dunstan and the Pisa Range, was built to the highest standards. It was also given a simple form to allow the special, rugged location to speak for itself. Care was taken to interpret the owners’ wishes and the project continued to evolve as the building took shape. Materials and colours were carefully selected to echo the landscape. Local schist details help the three-bedroom three-bathroom home to blend into the hillside. A clever decking walkway joins an existing stone

cottage to the main residence, further settling the home into its surroundings. The walkway also creates a point of interest – the perfectly finished timber is juxtaposed against the rocky terrain below. A pitched ceiling lends a real sense of space to living areas and bespoke joinery frames the picture-perfect Central Otago views. The goal was to create a very special home that never detracts from or overwhelms its beautiful location. This family-friendly 400sqm home achieves this and more.

Cedar and Wakatipu schist at the entrance of this home are on point. The natural materials beautifully complement the southern environment. From the cladding and flooring to cabinetry and apex Kapo board grooved ceiling, every facet demonstrates the builders’ skills. The all-important factors you won’t see are the systems in place for thermal efficiency, including thermally-broken foundation and underfloor heating with an air-to-water heatpump. The double-glazed windows and doors maintain the warmth.

Views are captured from within the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Stacking doors off the dining and living area lead to a covered, private deck. The thoroughly considered design includes a cosy media snug, luxurious powder room, custom-built study nook and a spacious laundry that leads to the double garage.

ADVERTORIAL

You deserve peace of mind with the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee Giving homeowners peace of mind for over 25 years. Building a house or doing a major renovation is a big deal, it is probably the biggest investment of your lifetime, so it makes sense to protect it with a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee.

Our market leading Guarantee has been developed in New Zealand for New Zealand families. It has protected more than 140,000 Kiwi homes over the last 25 years. Only a Registered Master Builder can offer you the peace of mind of a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee. Registered Master Builders have been building quality homes for more than a century. But very occasionally, even for the best builders, something can go wrong. Choosing to work with a Registered Master Builder helps prevents this and a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee gives you even more peace of mind and is an essential part of any build. David Kelly, Chief Executive of the Registered Master Builders Association, points out that the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee provides much greater protection than both the Building Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act, which only apply if the building company that carried out your building work is still around when

your problem happens. While most building projects will run smoothly, sometimes things do go wrong. Mr Kelly says the Guarantee provides protection to resolve those issues and enables us to support the homeowner to get their home finished to the highest standard.

STEPPING IT UP This carefully considered home places the living area in prime position to access sweeping views. The site might be steep, but it’s well positioned to be protected from the region’s harsh winds. The client requested a spacious design with generous glazing for light and views, yet also wanted a homely feel. The twin forms and natural materials successfully achieve both outcomes.

Q&A HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BUILDER FOR YOU

How did you know you had the right builder? Both my wife and I have a background in quality management and customer service. We were looking for a builder with industry credibility who could listen and interpret our ideas. Right from the start we got on really well with our builder. Instantly I knew we had a common understanding of what we wanted from the build and by showing me his previous work, I could see that he was a quality craftsman. He went above and beyond throughout, starting from our first conversation. Don’t be afraid to ask to see previous work and talk to past customers. Because InHaus are Master Builders, I also knew they would have had to complete a number of rigorous checks to ensure they met the quality standards of the organisation. As well as looking at building experience, qualifications and workmanship, there are also financial checks for all Master Builders to ensure business stability. Knowing these checks

Building a new home or undertaking a major renovation is a big deal, so you need a builder you can trust to help you through the process. We sat down with Nelson local Vince Roper, whose new house won a National New Home Category Award in the Master Builders House of the Year competition in 2014, and ask him for his tips. He and his family attribute their win to their strong relationship with their Master Builder Russell Campbell from InHaus and the team of sub-contractors and architects he surrounds himself with.

have been done is great for peace of mind. Why did you choose a Master Builder? We've built before and know this can be a stressful time. You hear about cowboys and you need to make sure you are protected. I knew I absolutely needed a Master Builder. Choosing one gave me confidence, assurance and minimised the risk of building a new home. It is also important to think about the long term – this is not where you want to focus on the cheapest option. You want to get the best value and a home you will love for years.

It sounds like you had a great relationship with your builder. How did you go about finding someone you wanted to work with? We had just moved to Nelson after the Christchurch earthquakes and were very focused on re-establishing ourselves in a new, quality home in a more positive environment. Having built twice before, and being very house proud, we had a clear idea of what we wanted in terms of build quality and final finish. The only problem was when we arrived in Nelson, we had no building contacts and no one to turn to for a recommendation. We had used a Master Builder to build our last home in Christchurch, so we went with what we knew best. Using the ‘Find a Builder’ tool on the Master Builders website, we looked up Nelson-based builders. Although we knew all the builders would be up to the Master Builder quality standard, we wanted the best of the best, so we also looked at who had won House of the Year accolades. InHaus fitted the bill so we gave it a shot. Turns out it was the best decision we have ever made.

Tell us a little bit about your project and the relationship with your builder? Because we were new to Nelson, we were unsure of the area where we had decided to build. It's important people work with a builder who knows the area and can provide good advice. Our builder had built another home not far away from our section and that gave us some extra assurance. As we were building a whole new house, the design phase was crucial. Collaboration is so important here. You want to make sure your builder is involved throughout the whole process, working closely with you and your architect. We had an exciting vision of what we wanted, and we recommend working with an experienced builder who can conceptualise and turn your vision into something tangible. Working with a Master Builder, you know your project is backed by the best in the business. Our builder really did go above and beyond in every aspect and never watched the clock. We now consider Russell and his son Shaun – who was the Master Builders CARTERS National Apprentice of the Year 2015 winner – to be very good friends.

The opportunity to get a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee was also a no brainer. Building a home is one of your biggest life investments so it is important you are protected. No one knows what will happen in 10 years’ time, but I know I am protected by Master Builders no matter what – even if my builder is no longer in business. Most banks will also insist on a guarantee, and this one is the best. Any other tips to share with Kiwis looking to build or renovate their homes? It's all about a partnership. Be clear about your expectations early on and what you want to achieve. It's too late to go back and change your mind once the job is finished. You want the job done well once. The quality of your home will also be remembered for longer than the cost will. It may be worth stretching yourselves a bit, to get a quality builder. And if you have to wait for your builder, it will be worth it. We are extremely proud of the home we have and working with the Master Builder InHaus team has been one of the most positive things to have happened in our lives.

At the heart of this family home is a wonderful open-plan kitchen and scullery featuring TriStone bench tops and a tiled splashback, the lack of dividing walls creating flow. This looks out to the dining and living rooms, where ranch slider doors lead to a covered alfresco area. A separate lounge leads from the open-plan design through a feature timber barn door, providing flexible use

of the living spaces. A matching feature door separates the entry from the living room, providing the handy option of being able to close off the entry as required. This lovely home includes four spacious bedrooms – the main bedroom with its own generous walk-in robe, fully tiled walk-in shower and vanity with double basins.

QUEENSTOWN

TWICE THE APPEAL This bold, stylish Queenstown building is, in fact, two homes. Whakarire, on the upper levels, is the main villa and can sleep up to 12 people. Waipatiki on the ground floor has three double bedrooms. These luxury villas, clad in cedar, James Hardie Exotech and Alpine Tray Colorsteel, have been designed for flexibility, so guests can rent one house or two.

STEVE MORRIS JOINERY

Whakarire is full of light and captures views out towards Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables. The main bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, is on the top level, as well as a media room and outdoor balcony with a spa pool and additional seating. Two double bedrooms share an ensuite shower room and the younger residents have a bunk room and a third bathroom. Waipatiki, for up to six guests, also captures views of the lake and mountains, as well as glimpses of Coronet Peak. Sliding windows open up to the large balcony and the kitchen has a breakfast bar, top appliances and a scullery. Cold Central Otago days are no problem here – there’s a central heating system and a gas fire. And the region’s many attractions are just a walk away.

With its welcoming alfresco area, foodie-friendly kitchen and light-filled scullery, this 211sqm Queenstown show home was built with entertaining in mind. The kitchen is a study in contemporary cool with its sweeping central island and skylights, offering a lovely work space where the chef can prepare meals while socialising with guests in the dining and living areas. The home’s airy interior is configured to welcome in all-day sun, while oversized bifold doors flow out to a large louvre-covered deck for soaking in the serenity. On cooler summer nights an outdoor fireplace adds

warmth and ambience, and during the winter months a fireplace beckons in the cosy second lounge. There’s also underfloor heating providing extra comfort throughout. A tiled ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe make the main bedroom a retreat, while two additional bedrooms and a bathroom are comfortably configured for everyday life as well as visitors. With a layout designed with family top of mind, this modern home set against the backdrop of mountains is an easy mix of the practical and the stylish.

Wānaka’s exceptional assets are matched in the design of this outstanding show home. Views, natural light and landscaping are all celebrated in the sleek three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence. Superior style and comfort have been considered throughout the 242sqm home, which has two ample living areas. In step with its classic modernist lines, there’s a sunken lounge and seamless connection and access from interior to exterior. Contemporary considerations, such as underfloor heating, are boosted by polished floors for solar gain,

while fixed and opening skylights create light and space. Even the garage is perfection, with insulation, underfloor heating and skylights – so well planned, it’s ideal as a fourth bedroom when there are guests to accommodate. There are extras such as electric-opening kitchen drawers and a heat pump, and the solar-power system keeps the home’s running costs low. A pleasure to live and play in, this home is a stunning example of what can be achieved with smart planning, great design and top-notch craftsmanship.

This elegant house, cleverly set onto a compact Wānaka site, is a natural and secluded sanctuary. The interior is deceptively spacious with raised ceilings in the entranceway leading to airy living spaces, which all have wonderful lake and mountain views. Ample storage has been seamlessly built into the floor-plan leaving a contemporary, uncluttered feel. Attention to energy efficiency ensures this home will be comfortable in extremes of temperature, while minimising running costs.

Generous and beautifully proportioned living spaces open onto the deck, offering easy outdoor living with natural indooroutdoor flow and plenty of light and warmth in chilly Central Otago winter months. Neutral tones throughout echo the natural environment outside. The main bedroom with a large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite also enjoys access to a large sunny deck. This is a modern, comfortable family home that also happens to have the best of design and materials. Its natural style will endure. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Faced with an unusually shaped section, the architectural designer and builders of this Wānaka show home went into top gear. The result? A house that is close to the ultimate in terms of sun orientation. You can sip coffee on the morning patio, relax on the north-facing window seat or crank up the barbecue on the sheltered north-west patio in the afternoon or evening. There is easy access to both patios from the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Inside the three-bedroom, two bathroom house is a raking ceiling, log fire and designer kitchen, which add

to the already high level of specifications and finish. The bathroom and ensuite come complete with under-tile heating. Neutral tones give the interior a light, airy feel as does the pale wood cabinetry in the kitchen. The 168sqm home is clad in attractive vertical cedar weatherboard and five-rib ColorSteel. Sitting on an Allied Ready Super Slab braced with James Hardie RAB Board pre-cladding and framed using LVL (laminated veneer lumber) this sun-loving home is also built to last.

This home has been designed and built by the family and builder who live in it. Functional, warm and economical, the 299sqm property integrates many thoughtful features, turning out just as the family hoped it would – and will serve them well for years to come. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a study and a double garage means there’s plenty of space for everyone and everything. In southern winters, the house is cosy, thanks to a Stovax inbuilt fire and Pink Batts insulation. Full-height glass lets sunlight beam in and double-

glazing with aluminium joinery contains the warmth. A gas califont delivers hot water on demand. Light, bright decor and an easy flow between living and dining zones are ideal for connected family living, but a separate lounge delivers other options. Indoor-outdoor flow links the home to the expansive green landscape. A mix of cedar weatherboard and Rockcote cladding, topped with Hi Five Dimond roofing, gives the Invercargill house strong, appealing lines and a contemporary look.

Tuscany meets Otago in this spacious beauty, which has been remodelled to enhance the living spaces so they flow through the house and out to the outdoors. The kitchen was also completely renovated and two upstairs bedrooms were combined to create a main suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. External walls were repositioned to allow the new indoor-outdoor living, including an alfresco dining and entertaining area. Earthworks helped create an outdoor area that allows diners to drink in the expansive views. A macrocarpa and brick pergola, complete with

outdoor fire and pizza oven, was designed and constructed. These had to be built into existing features of the property, so they looked as if they were part of the original house. The brief from the client included using the existing grapevines in this area so these were woven around large macrocarpa beams. As a result of the 160sqm renovation, there is now seamless indoor-outdoor flow and the owners can step straight out of the their house, enjoy the landscape and sip wine under the vines.

GARDEN

FLORAL DISPLAY Once the gorgeous flush of spring is over, gardens can look a little tired or dull, which is when annuals and perennials must be summoned. Pop down to your local garden centre, peruse the flower aisles and you’re bound to find something you love. Just keep in mind where in your garden they should be planted, how much sun they require, how much water they need, and what shape and size they will eventually grow to.

SUMMER

smarts

you’ll be saving yourself a lot of backache later on in summer. Set aside an afternoon and go for it. Do the whole garden, then mulch with compost, pea straw or pine needles. This will help suppress them – for a while anyway.

DRINK UP

Be clever about how you tackle your warmer-weather gardening tasks and you’ll have more leisure than labour in summer, says Mary Lovell-Smith

do well in shadier areas. Most vegetables and herbs also do well in containers. If you’re not an expert compost maker, get pots as big as you can and fill them with container mix, then plant.

As far as I know there are only four ways to avoid weeding: spray with herbicide (seriously uncool), pay someone else to do it, concrete your garden or just let them grow. But if you do pull them out now, while they are small,

ummertime’s coming and you want the livin’ to be easy. If you put in the hard yards now you’ll be able to enjoy a lazy hazy guilt-free summer. You won’t be entirely chore-free, but you’ll certainly give yourself more time for other summer activities, or to simply enjoy the fruits of your gardening labour – from the comfort of a lounger.

PLANT TO PLATE

Fancy popping a sun-ripened cherry tomato into your mouth or sipping a cocktail made with your own lemons and mint? Then get planting. From mid-November even the most tender summer vegetables can be planted outside in all but the chilliest parts of the country. Most adore the sun, but if you’re running out of sunny spots, then lettuces and coriander

OUT DAMNED WEED

hot tips

 Healthy soil makes for

a productive patch. Building up your soil with compost, manure and other organic material is the best thing you can do for your garden.

 The most useful garden tool is the Japanese niwashi. It’s like a short-handled hoe with a sharp blade, and is great for weeding, hacking and digging out roots.

Chances are it will be a dry summer with water restrictions, so before you do anything, check to see if you can use the hose on your garden. If you have the green light, make watering part of a pleasant daily routine. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon, so hold the hose in one hand, and a hot drink or long cool one in the other. It’s also a good idea to plant drought-resistant species, mulch the more needy ones and/or install an irrigation system and timer.

CLEAN MACHINE

After a winter of inattention, your garden equipment may need a little cleaning, de-cobwebbing and repairing. The good news is, this only needs doing once a year. So wash down your outdoor furniture, deck, house exterior; check that the fabric furniture isn’t rotting or if the wood need oiling; and get the steel-wool onto the barbie… Yes, all those tedious tasks. Then reward yourself.

 The presence of birds is

the icing on the cake in any garden. Encourage korimako/bellbird, kererū, tūī, pīwakawaka/fantail and kākā by planting plenty of native species.

 Lemon and other citrus, which are sometimes fussy in soil, can grow well in pots. These are best filled with a special citrus mix and placed somewhere sunny.
