Landscaping Wisdom

Landscaping in Wellington can present unique challenges. We’ve spent years taming the terrain and know what to consider when designing your dream landscape.

  • Kowhai tree New Zealand native plant

    Planting with New Zealand native flora

    Native New Zealand plantlife is suited perfectly to Wellington’s wily weather conditions. Because of their adaptability to local environmental conditions, most New Zealand native plants are able to thrive in Wellington landscape design.

  • Keeping your lawn healthy

    You’d think your lawn would be thriving with all this rain. While summer might sear patches into your lawn and cause your grass to brown, winter drowns everything in mud; the sort that’s easily shifted and deformed under even the slightest application of pressure.

  • Japanese garden

    Lessons from Japanese landscaping

    The beauty of ornamental Japanese landscaping is that it can be achieved in the smallest of spaces. A small front yard or back yard can be transformed into an intimate natural escape.
