A Decked-Out Transformation

From blank and exposed to lush and inviting—this Orewa deck went from a plain platform to a private outdoor retreat. The brief? Soften the space, add privacy, and make the deck more usable year-round without starting from scratch.

Before

Before:
The deck had great potential but felt a bit bare—no shade, no screening, and not much to draw you out for more than a quick sit-down.

After:
We introduced a row of sleek, contemporary trough planters along the fence line, filled with Ilex for structure and privacy. To soften the look, we underplanted with ferns and delicate white flowers—bringing in texture, movement, and a touch of elegance.

Then came the game-changer: a pergola. It instantly turned the open deck into a functional outdoor room—somewhere to entertain, unwind, or enjoy a morning coffee no matter the weather.

The result?
A layered, lush, and livable deck space that now works in every season. Private, polished, and packed with potential.
