APC Landscape Construction CONTRACTING Hamish Goodeve has been landscaping in and around Tauranga for the last 31 years, trading as APC Landscape Construction for most of them. Hamish’s right hand man, Mike Lowe, has been with him for the last 15 years and with their combined experience they know how to approach any job with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss. Over the years they’ve built up all the machinery needed to allow them to be self-sufficient and take on jobs of all sizes. “I like running machinery so we run bobcats, trucks, and diggers. We do a lot of site-preparation, concrete preparation, site clearing, and hole auguring with them. Then we also do the usual fencing, retaining, lawn and garden prep, concrete prep and so on,” says Hamish. If it’s using machinery to turn a gully full of overgrown trees, shrubs and bushes into a site levelled to meet engineers’ specifications within a 5ml tolerance, it’s probably a job for a local builder. If it’s more simply preparing a patch of overgrown driveway ready for a hard surface to be laid down so a boat or campervan can be parked there, they’re working directly with the homeowner. The way the split falls fluctuates depending on what’s happening in the broader economy, and recently the work has trended back towards renovations rather than new residential housing. It might mean a new driveway, putting in a new lawn, or tidying up the outside with new fencing. APC Landscape Construction offer clients free quotes on site and with decades of experience behind them they’re well qualified to go over the various options and materials that might best suit the job. ‘There’s a heap of different fences to choose from and we can do them all so it depends on the client’s budget and we work with them to achieve what they want. We know our products and what suits an area. “We’ve got coastal areas here which means you might want to look at aluminium instead of steel to avoid corrosion or rust, and if it’s a deck or a fence you make sure you use stainless steel screws and fittings otherwise within five years you’ll have to replace them. It’s slightly more expensive in the short term but worth it,” explains Hamish. They concentrate on preparation but hand the job over when it’s time for planting whether it’s a lawn or a garden. They’re happy to point people in the right direction, or, more usually if someone wants them to do the whole project they have a team of trusted sub-contractors who come in to complete the work. Having all the machinery they need feeds directly into their cost-efficiency as well as their scheduling. They can supply product such as aggregate or sand straight from the quarry and deliver it themselves so there’s no time wasted waiting for other contractors. Hamish takes time to connect with prospective clients when they’re looking at what the job might be and makes sure they’re both on the same page before he does the detailed quote or estimate). He’s sufficiently confident about what they can achieve that APC Landscape Construction offers a 5year workmanship guarantee which is rarely called on, if ever, given that he’s more likely to spot something isn’t quite right and fix it than wait for a client to do the same.
