Rolleston Show Home

Show homes have to look their best from the street on day one — they're the shop window for a whole subdivision. For this one in Rolleston we laid the hard surfaces that set the first impression: a broad exposed-aggregate driveway sweeping up from the road, a matching entry path to the front door, and a herringbone paver courtyard that ties the outdoor living together.

The best part of a job like this is that the client only deals with one family. We handled every bit of the concrete and paving, while our brother company, Landscape Brothers, took care of the decking, gardens, planting and lawn — the two crews working to the same programme so nothing fell through the gaps between trades.

Because we plan the concrete and the landscaping together, the levels, falls and finishes all line up first time — the driveway meets the paths, the paths meet the decks, and the planting beds sit tidy against the exposed aggregate. The result is a section that reads as one considered job rather than a set of separate ones.

It's exactly the offering the two companies are built for: concrete, paving and full landscaping delivered end to end by one Canterbury family, whether it's a show home on display or your own place.
