Our Services

Complete landscape architecture and garden construction services.

✏️

Garden Design

Full landscape design service: site analysis, concept plans, planting design, and detailed construction drawings. 3D visualisations so you can see your garden before it's built. We design for New Zealand conditions β€” drought, wind, frost, and Canterbury's alkaline soil.

🧱

Hard Landscaping

Patios, paths, retaining walls, timber decking, pergolas, water features, and outdoor kitchens. We work with local Canterbury stone, exposed aggregate concrete, and sustainably sourced timber. Consented and engineer-approved for all structural work.

🌿

Planting

Specimen trees, native plantings, ornamental borders, hedging, and meadow planting. We specialise in NZ native gardens and low-maintenance, drought-tolerant designs. All plants sourced from Canterbury nurseries with a 12-month replacement guarantee.

πŸ’§

Irrigation

Automated drip and spray irrigation systems designed for Canterbury's dry summers. Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro components. Smart controllers with rain sensors. Water-efficient design that complies with ECan water restrictions.

πŸ’‘

Garden Lighting

Low-voltage LED garden lighting: path lights, uplighting, step lights, and entertaining area illumination. Warm white and dimmable options. Transformer and wiring by registered electricians. Transform your garden into a nightscape.

🧹

Maintenance

Ongoing garden maintenance contracts: mowing, hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, mulching, and seasonal planting changes. Weekly, fortnightly, and monthly visits. We keep your garden looking like the day it was finished β€” year-round.

"They transformed our bare post-earthquake section in Merivale into a stunning garden. Native plantings, a beautiful stone patio, and automated irrigation. It's become our favourite room β€” the outdoor one."

"We wanted a low-maintenance native garden for our rental property. The design was clever β€” looks beautiful year-round with almost zero work. Tenants love it. Best investment we've made."

"The 3D visualisation sold us. We could see exactly how the garden would look before a single sod was turned. The finished result matched the renders perfectly. True professionals."
