Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Mangawhai, Northland

“I interviewed a number of different garden design firms before settling on Kate Ryan and her team from Zones Landscaping Specialists to direct and manage our project. My brief to Kate was to create a sub tropical garden that gave the feel of being continually on holiday in a tropical resort (in the heart of Remuera). The sloping site was challenging and the project required the complete removal of all pre-existing trees and shrubs. Kate and her team came up with the perfect solution. Plants were chosen with care to create a layering effect. The tradespeople used were very professional and great to deal with. Their knowledge of garden design and the quality of their workmanship were excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate Ryan and her team from Zones Landscaping Specialists.”

“JM Landscape Design impressed me on their first visit with their knowledge and creativity. After consulting with a few landscapers I committed with confidence to JM and my once messy, unusuable back garden has been transformed to my sanctuary for entertaining or just chilling. The area for my clothesline and storage area under the stairs works beautifully too and I actually enjoy hanging the clothes out now!”

“iNSPiRE Landscape & Garden Design provided by far the highest quality of service and assistance with regards to all things landscaping and design. They are an absolute fountain of knowledge and I knew straight away that any property design would be safe in their hands. I can't recommend them enough and will most definitely keep them in mind should anyone else be interested in any scale of garden or landscape design.”

“Peter and his team were great to deal with. Sorted us out with a plan and made very helpful suggestions about products and styling. Thanks Peter.”

“I purchased an outdoor sofa from Great Barrier Furniture company a couple of years ago, and am just purchasing my second, so they've asked me to write a review. I can't think of many suppliers I've been so happy with that I've returned for more, but the quality here is something they should be proud of, and something I'm happy to own. I highly recommend them to others wanting something that looks good and will last the harsh NZ environment.”

“We approached red twigs to design our back yard. They came up with a creative design that transformed our small garden to a more attractive and practical space that our family now loves and enjoys. We would definitely use them again.”

“Last year I bought a beach property with a scraggy untidy garden. I had a vision of what I wanted to create for future generations of my famiy to enjoy but not knowing the local conditions I needed to find someone who had the understanding and expertize me to realize my aspiration. Jerome and his team not only had the expertize they had access to all the plant varieties including mature palms to give the garden a seasoned look right from the get go. What has been achieved is amazing and much admired by locals and visitors alike this is a hardworking talented team and they even turn up every3-4 months to make sure everything is still thriving, I certainly got my monies worth.”

“Matt and Boyd seamlessly and cost-effectively landscaped a whole new outside space. We were amazed at how quickly and cheaply they converted our disheveled front lawn into lush grass. The new hedging is perfect and we love the three new gates and the automation system. They provided good ideas and pragmatic advice every step of the way - and everything was done in no time. I would recommend them without hesitation!”

“We've had the pleasure of working with Ben and his team for several years now. Initially we engaged Ben to do some semi-regular garden maintenance. When we had our first landscaping project, he was the natural choice. We enjoy working collaboratively with Ben to get the design and functionality that are after. Our narrow, steeply sloping site is challenging, both from a design perspective and physically getting the work done. We couldn't be happier with how Ben and his team have solved problems and met all those challenges. Whether it is a large project or getting the hedge pruned and weeding done, we know we can trust Ben to come up with a great solution and deliver. And when it comes to execution, Ben and his team are always very careful with our property (we are extremely fussy) and given the access and narrowness of the areas, it is not easy, but they are excellent - right down to the clean up at the end of each day, regardless of whether it's in the middle of a project or a quick garden tidy up. Ben and his team are friendly, helpful and easy to work with. I recommend them.”

“Elizabeth Patching Landscape Design Elizabeth has been part of our building project on a town section, from its conception and her wealth of knowledge and expertise has been invaluable. Throughout the entire process, Elizabeth has had a professional and thoughtful approach. Elizabeth’s passion and flair has been evident and she has been a pleasure to work with. Elizabeth is an excellent communicator, active listener and innovative thinker and planner. Her suggestions throughout the planning process have been invaluable, from siting the house to maximise the sun and view, to changing to the house plan to maximise connection with the outdoors. Based on extensive research of the site, comprehensive up to date product knowledge and discussions with us Elizabeth provided a range of options. These reflect her considered and innovative approach. Her final drawings truly reflect our vision and, once again, demonstrate her excellent attention to detail. She included a detailed landscape and planting plan. She has even gone the extra mile to put together a planting booklet which is extremely useful!! Elizabeth has truly helped us achieve an outdoor environment that connects seamlessly with our house. We are thrilled with the result and would not hesitate to highly recommend Elizabeth.”
