A well-designed landscape is about much more than selecting plants or deciding where paths should go. Good landscape design creates outdoor spaces that suit the way you live, improve the flow between your home and garden and make the most of every square metre of your property.
As home owners ourselves, we understand that when it comes to creating your 'dream garden', you'll also want a quality service at a price that you can afford. We create landscape design plans to suit your requirements and budget, and the entire project - from garden planting to landscape construction - is project managed to ensure you stay within the budget.
Everyone's design wishes are different. We can create contemporary, formal, native, tropical, low-maintenance or classic gardens depending on your home, lifestyle and personal taste.

Landscape designs created for your location in East or Central Auckland
Designing a garden requires an understanding of local conditions. Soil type, drainage, sun, shade, wind exposure and the way different plants perform throughout the seasons all influence the final design. Our experience creating landscapes from Remuera and Parnell in Central Auckland to Howick, St Heliers and the Eastern Bays means we consider these factors from the beginning, helping create gardens that are both attractive and practical for the local environment.
Already have landscape plans?
If you already have landscape plans prepared by a designer, architect or landscape architect, we can work from those too. We're happy to price the project, recommend practical solutions where required and carry out the landscape construction to bring your plans to life.
FAQs about our garden and landscape designs
Why Invest in professional landscape design?
Landscape design gives you a clear plan before any work begins. It allows ideas to be explored, layouts refined and practical issues identified early, helping avoid costly changes during construction. You'll also have confidence that the finished landscape has been designed as one complete space, with every feature working together to achieve the result you're looking for.
How involved can I be in the design process?
As much as you like. Your ideas, preferences and feedback are an important part of the design process, and we'll work with you to create a landscape that reflects your vision.
Can the landscape be completed in stages?
Yes. If you're working to a budget or planning future improvements, the design can often be developed so the project can be completed over time while maintaining one overall vision.
What happens if I want to make changes to the design?
That's a normal part of the design process. We'll discuss your feedback, make any agreed changes and refine the plan before the final design is completed.
Can you design low-maintenance gardens?
Absolutely. If you'd like a garden that's easy to care for, we'll recommend a design, layout and planting approach that helps reduce ongoing maintenance while still looking great.
Do you work with difficult or sloping sites?
Yes. Every property presents different opportunities and challenges. We'll assess the site and create a landscape design that makes the best use of the space while taking practical site conditions into account.
