Landscape Design

If you want to get it right from the start, we specialise in landscape design, from subtle interventions and problem-solving to complete renovations of your exterior living space. Design and consultation work includes construction documentation and consent consulting. We have an in-depth knowledge of planting and ecology, construction detailing and realistic design communication.

Planting

Effective planting can refresh an existing garden or be the finising touch to a vibrant new landscape. Beyond aesthetics, a quality planting scheme enhances the livability and long-term value of your property. We source and install a diverse selection of both native plants and exotic species. All our plants are carefully chosen to thrive in Wellington’s unique climate and conditions.
