Our Team

Director / Designer

Despite growing up surrounded by landscaping plans and working in his parent’s plant nursery as a teenager, farming was Tim’s initial career choice.

After a couple of years in this field, he decided to return to landscaping and worked for three years as a self-employed contractor. In 2001 he embarked on his OE, travelling around the USA, Canada and the UK, including 18 months in London working for a large landscaping firm.

On his return to New Zealand, Tim and his father established a landscaping team to enable Goom Landscapes to undertake entire projects, from design through to construction, planting and seasonal maintenance. From his initial position employed within the company, Tim now owns the business – adding his own unique touch and vision to the future development of Goom Landscapes.

Creative, practical and a tenacious problem solver, Tim has a talent for visualising the end product. His large team of skilled staff take great pride in their work, resulting in an exceptional standard of finishing which is a hallmark of the company’s projects.

In his free time, Tim enjoys sea and river fishing, hunting and duck shooting with his Labrador, and spending time with his family.

Design

With great design, comes great responsibility. That’s where our landscape architects excel – not only do they create stunning landscapes & outdoor living spaces, but they work alongside our construction team to make sure that their design can be built, and that it is also achievable for our client by fitting within their budget.

Emma, Val and Otto work as a close knit team and have vast experience from working around the world. They enjoy the client interaction and getting out on site with the construction team.

They like a challenge – so bring your wildest landscape dreams!

Manage

The All Blacks spend a lot of time planning strategy, they don’t just go out there on game day and expect good results. Much like our project managers – having a good game plan in place makes scoring easy. Our project managers guide our construction teams to make sure that we keep the goal line in sight, and that no one drops the ball on your project.

Our Operations Manager will work alongside your Project Manager from the concept design presentation stage. Being involved from the earliest stages ensures he is familiar with your project and what is needed from start to finish

Our excellence comes from experience. You can trust us to get the job done right.

Maintenance

It is important to us that your landscape grows into its full potential. As gardens are never static, and are always continually evolving it can be hard to find the time to properly care for them and keep on top of the many seasonal jobs required.

Our maintenance team are all trained in horticulture, and have the know-how and tools of the trade to help you keep your garden under control, and looking vibrant year round.

They are led by an impressive work ethic, an eye for detail, and a love of plants.
