All-weather non-slip paths
Don't hesitate to have us look at your garden just because it's wet. We are getting a lot of good time outdoors between showers, and this is the best time to get any woody weeds or prunings arranged compactly so they start rotting as quickly as possible, reducing the mass of anything that might need to be disposed of before summer heat and drought.
We routinely place woody material on wet ground, avoid compacting the clay and making surfaces less slippery.

The photo below shows one such path made from dried honeysuckle, covered by cut woody stems of Cape honey flower weed, then wood chips added the following year to even out the surface.
Much as we loved this little path across one of our restoration sites,, we knew it would become hidden as the native trees around it developed ... and that's exactly what's happened! But the path was a convenient place to put the cut woody weeds, suppressed kikuyu and other weeds, protected the restoration area from trampling, and was well-drained all year round.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
