Zones Landscaping Auckland Central Kate Ryan

Zones Landscaping have transformed an overgrown, largely unusable outdoor space, into an inner city garden oasis, comprising a large decked area over three different levels, with modern plantings. The process of the garden design, consultations and ultimate agreement was an easy process. The team listened to my garden requirements, quickly designing and presenting me with clever solutions, which have culminated in a wonderful, modern outdoor room to enjoy. Zones provided suitable planting options to suit the location and existing hedge. Zones managed the whole transformation process, liaising with contractors including the designer, landscapers, electrician, louvre installer and painter. I didn't have to do anything except arrive home each night to gleefully witness the progress. Neighbours and locals often stop to congratulate me on my new garden. I recommend Kate Ryan and her team to anyone wishing to transform their outdoor spaces.

We are thrilled with the result - which friends have described as a "world class" backyard - and we truly couldn't have done it without Kate. Kate's keen sense of style, professionalism and creativity, were instrumental in completing our project. Thank you!

Absolutely stoked with my landscaping! Converted the front area from a yard of waist-high weeds to this lovely native sanctuary with clever use of the space for 2 macrocarpa planter boxes for veges. The veges are flourishing and one of the manukas is flowering already - honey in no time! The garden off the deck has olives and lavender, then 'cocktail alley' down the other side with a lime, lemon and feijoa! First lime yesterday so the garden is already paying for itself! Kate, Vaughan, Isaac and the rest of the team were all great to deal with and did a fantastic job. The garden will get better and better as the plants mature and bloom in Spring. Thank you!

Kate was just a delight to work with on our recent backyard renovation. From the design stage through to the construction and planting she made is really easy. Her designer really listened to what we needed and made the most of our space. All of the tradies she contracted to complete the work, were really experienced and capable. As with most projects, not everything goes to plan, but the communication was great and there weren't any surprises. She also was flexible along the way - we came up with a few changes as we progressed and these were all no trouble. Having her project manage this for us made it relatively stress free and easy for us - and we now get to enjoy a really beautiful and function outdoor living space.

This was a major pool and landscaping project where Kate and her team have completely transformed our outdoors, creating a wonderful outdoor space for our family and friends to enjoy. Kate listened to what we wanted and worked tirelessly to help us fulfil our vision. She was always on hand to give advice and come up with solutions to problems. We love our outdoor space – thanks Kate!

We have just completed the concept plans with Kate and really pleased with the results. Throughout this stage we received regular communication from Kate and met several times online through Zoom where we were able to see visualizations and fly-throughs of her ideas and suggestions which made our decision making very easy. We have already recommended Kate to several of our friends.

Kate and her team were very easy to deal with and very professional. They took on board our brief and came up with a smart, cost effective and exciting design to suit our family. They created a design with good entertainment space and incorporated space for a pool and the kids to play. We were very happy with their service in particular their communication during lockdown.

Kate did a great job transforming our backyard. It is a smallish area with quite a bit of decking, involving different levels. An excellent project manager where nothing was a problem and always followed up on matters. We had quite strong ideas of what we wanted and she made some great suggestions to improve on these ideas. Alastair and his great team of guys worked solidly and we are very happy with the finish. They always arrived on time, were friendly and kept the site tidy. They also had to coordinate with The Shed Shop guys who supplied our shed, which had to be assembled on site. They were even complimented by James, of the Shed Shop, on the great support joists they built for it.

We engaged Kate Ryan/Zones services to transform our small outdoor space into a useful area the whole family could enjoy. Kate walked us through the entire process from start to finish covering all the details and dealing with inevitable changes to plan in a really nice friendly, calm and positive manner. Kates communication throughout the whole process was absolutely great and she was regularly on site to monitor progress of the works or meet with us to keep us updated. Kate was quick to reply to all our enquiries and found elegant and efficient solutions to any tricky building, design or logistical problems. We now have a tropical garden hideaway combined with a hot tub and really nice new decking area to enjoy the summer weather. Neighbours have been quick to comment on how nice the area now looks. Thanks Kate. We really appreciate all your time and effort.

Kate was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Responsive and with a great eye for garden detail. We built a large new deck, installed an outdoor fire and replanted. She went the extra mile to ensure our project was finished quickly and to a very high standard. Great communicator. We would highly recommend Kate.

Kate did a fabulous job project managing my garden renovation. It included replacing and extending the deck, replanting a lot of areas all around the section, new lawns, and best of all- a beautiful feature wall to completely disguise an ugly concrete wall. Kate and her team were fantastic – always on time, professional, discussed the project regularly and we made joint decisions. I would highly recommend her services.

I recently listed my house for sale, and asked Kate from Zones to put together a plan to tidy up the front garden and driveway area to achieve maximum impact in a short period of time. Kate did a brilliant job - she has such a good eye and just knows what you should bother doing versus not. Everything Kate suggested looked fantastic, from the driveway and electric gate to the garden beds, ready lawn and planting plan. And to top it all off, Kate is lovely to deal with. Her quiet calm demeanor makes her so easy to deal with. I could not recommend her highly enough.
