We also do a lot of domestic residential properties. Our customer base has grown and changed and as generations change customers change as well. There are some gardens that our ground maintenance team have been looking after for twenty nine years and longer.” To provide its diverse customer base with a comprehensive range of services, Morgan & Pollard has established four complementary divisions: A Nursery, Landscape Architecture, Landscape Construction, and Landscape Maintenance. “Landscape construction can include anything from driveways, concrete paths, retaining walls, soft landscaping, irrigation and lighting. It’s a hard physical job, there’s no getting around that but these people are used to it and a lot of them relish that hard work. The key is always getting along and enjoying being at work and that is all part of the culture. Our maintenance business is very much horticulture based doing everything from looking after malls through to hedges and lawns in properties.” Adam says Morgan & Pollard’s success comes down to embracing the challenge, looking for a solution and producing something that everyone can be proud of. “It’s about providing people with a good service and what they want. We do work with other landscape architects, but we have our own design team and build a lot of our own designs.” He recalls going out to Amberley on a job with his dad as a 10 year old and planting trees in front of the Hurunui District Council. “Those trees are now massive. That’s the kind of legacy that you leave.” 193 Halswell Rd, Christchurch | 03 338 9199 | sales@halswelltimber.co.nz Proudly supporting Morgan & Pollard Landscapes
