landscaping excellence for Gooms<br />

The biennial Landscaping New Zealand<br />

continue to be the industry yardstick<br />

for excellence in the fields of landscape<br />

design, construction, horticulture and<br />

maintenance.<br />

The recent gala awards event held at the<br />

Latimer Rydges Hotel in Christchurch in<br />

Landscaping New Zealand Awards<br />

judges commented, “We were looking<br />

for really good use of space and supreme<br />

quality design, construction and planting.<br />

These Awards give the public inspiration<br />

regarding what can be achieved in their<br />

own gardens, but more importantly, the<br />

Awards are about what our professions<br />

can do and the standards expected when<br />

employing a landscape professional”.<br />

This is the second time Gooms have<br />

taken out the ‘Landscape of the Year’<br />

Award. Having won back in 2004 date<br />

under the direction of retired founder,<br />

Chris Goom. Fast forward 12 years with a<br />

completely new team under the guidance<br />

of son, Tim Goom is testimony to the<br />

heritage and pedigree of design innovation<br />

and construction excellence that has<br />

become synonymous with the Goom<br />

brand.<br />

“These Awards results are a combination<br />

of teamwork, dedication to the client<br />

outcomes and basic down to earth hard<br />

work”, says Tim Goom. “Our difference we<br />

believe rests with our specialist project<br />

managers and construction teams working<br />

seamlessly with our highly experienced<br />

and innovative landscape architects,<br />

ensuring that every detail is managed”.<br />

Goom Landscapes have operations in<br />

Christchurch, Auckland and Wanaka,<br />

working on both domestic and commercial<br />

projects. These Awards recognized work<br />

across both these sectors including the<br />

stunning new Tait Electonics Campus<br />

Construction and Horticulture respectively<br />

as well as Best Landscape Sustainability.<br />
