About me ... Paul Ashford

Paul has had diverse training in the fields of archaeology, landscape management and horticulture, gaining a Masters Degree in Landscape Design & Management (University of London 1998)

Since moving with his family to Dunedin, New Zealand in 2004 he has designed and constructed unique landscaping and planting schemes for a diverse range of clients throughout New Zealand. With every new project his design techniques evolve and construction expertise grows.

Paul Ashford Landscaping now employs several staff members and implements numerous landscape transformations every year, project-managing every aspect from deisgn and budgeting, through construction and planting and on to maintenance and aftercare.

A love and in-depth knowledge of plants brings a unique edge to Paul's designs, especially when combined with design principles learnt and implemented in English gardens.

Paul's ongoing project - www.nzplantpics.com - involves photographing the impressive range of plants both native & exotic which happily grow here in New Zealand. This online photo-library continues to be an invaluable asset to clients trying to visualise planting plans prior to implementation by Paul's landscaping team.
