Archive for 2011
2011 has been another year of success, change and fulfillment for the GOOD MANORS Team. Our Design and Construction teams have completed over 50 new gardens along with 10 new pools and pool renovations. To ensure that these new gardens reach their full potential, the GOOD MANORS Maintenance division has seen some growth with the addition of a fifth team to help keep our 300+ gardens looking the best they can.
As we prepare for days of feasting, family, rest and sunshine (here’s hoping), we thank you for your support in 2011 and look forward to working with you again in 2012. Along with some exciting new pools and gardens scheduled for construction, 2012 will see GOOD MANORS continue to celebrate our 25th anniversary. From all at GOOD MANORS, we wish you a very happy festive season. Merry Christmas from all the team!
GOOD MANORS will be closed from 23rd December 2011 to 3rd January 2012.

Right in time for the summer weather we hope for; Good Manors recently completed this North Shore Pool, Spa, Cabana and Garden. The entire project from design through all aspects of construction were completed by the skilled team at Good Manors. Below is a condensed visual summary of the pool and garden transformation where an impractical pool was filled and relocated with the addition of a large spa. The purpose of this, to open visual and physical access to the garden from the home and new outdoor entertaining areas. We look forward to seeing the garden grow and become established in the years ahead!

Earlier this month we worked with Brigid Arnott again to photograph this Randwick garden designed, installed and maintained by Good Manors twelve months ago . The garden is a credit to its owners who have taken great care and interest in the garden. The importance of careful soil preparation and plant selection by the Good Manors team is also evident through the impressive growth and establishment of the garden in such a short time. A big thank you to Architectural and Antique Elements for the use of their curved antique garden seat and vintage cushions to complete the garden for this shoot.
We look forward to sharing more of our work later in the year as we continue to photograph more Good Manors pools and gardens this summer.
