FULL ESTATE TRANSFORMATION
Dove Manor
Red Beach, Auckland
A complete landscape design and construction project transforming a substantial coastal property through demolition, earthworks, bespoke hardscape, reclaimed brick detailing, concrete works, and extensive planting to create a timeless family estate.
Project Overview
Dove Manor is a substantial coastal estate that was completely reimagined through a full landscape transformation. Planters developed the landscape design, creating a series of refined outdoor spaces that strengthen the connection between the home, gardens, and surrounding landscape while embracing the property's coastal character.
From demolition through to completion, Planters delivered every stage of the project, including earthworks, drainage, demolition of the existing pool surrounds and fencing, large-scale site clearance, hardscape construction, concrete works, bespoke brick detailing, irrigation, planting, mulching, and final landscape establishment. Existing red bricks were carefully lifted and repurposed to create a custom circular fire pit, preserving character while giving the materials new life throughout the landscape.

Outcome
Reimagined from the ground up.
From landscape design through to complete construction, Dove Manor was transformed into a timeless coastal estate built to be enjoyed for generations. Existing materials were thoughtfully repurposed, new spaces carefully crafted, and every element—from the reclaimed brick fire pit and concrete surrounds to the layered planting, natural boulders, and bespoke detailing—was designed to feel as though it had always belonged. The result is a landscape that balances craftsmanship, longevity, and effortless connection to its coastal setting.
