The recent gala awards event held at the Latimer Rydges Hotel in Christchurch in August saw Goom Landscapes Limited awarded a sensational haul of awards across various projects and categories. They include 1 bronze, 1 silver, 4 gold, Best Landscape Sustainability, Best Landscape Design and the penultimate Supreme Award, Landscape of the Year <strong>2016</strong>, for The Green Residence in Christchurch. Landscaping New Zealand Awards judges commented, “We were looking for really good use of space and supreme quality design, construction and planting. These Awards give the public inspiration regarding what can be achieved in their own gardens, but more importantly, the Awards are about what our professions can do and the standards expected when employing a landscape professional”. This is the second time Gooms have taken out the ‘Landscape of the Year’ Award. Having won back in 2004 date under the direction of retired founder, Chris Goom. Fast forward 12 years with a completely new team under the guidance of son, Tim Goom is testimony to the heritage and pedigree of design innovation and construction excellence that has become synonymous with the Goom brand. “These Awards results are a combination of teamwork, dedication to the client outcomes and basic down to earth hard work”, says Tim Goom. “Our difference we believe rests with our specialist project managers and construction teams working seamlessly with our highly experienced and innovative landscape architects, ensuring that every detail is managed”. Goom Landscapes have operations in Christchurch, Auckland and Wanaka, working on both domestic and commercial projects. These Awards recognized work across both these sectors including the stunning new Tait Electonics Campus Christchurch receiving Gold Awards for Construction and Horticulture respectively as well as Best Landscape Sustainability.
