Most Silverdale homes are newer builds, often handed over with a bare back yard. We turn that into a finished outdoor space: fences for privacy, a deck or patio off the living area, turf and planting.

New-build sections are usually compacted clay, so we sort levels and drainage first, then lay paving and turf on a properly prepared base. Many subdivisions have covenants on fences and front yards, so send us yours before the site visit and we’ll design to it.

What we build in Silverdale: the whole back yard as one job, paved outdoor living areas with low-maintenance borders, covenant-friendly boundary and privacy fences, and ground-level decks and pergolas. We can price it in stages so you can do it over time.

For retaining walls, Auckland Council rules generally require building consent for walls retaining more than 1.5 metres of ground, or lower walls supporting a surcharge load such as a driveway. You can check the current requirements on the Auckland Council website — something we factor into every Silverdale quote from the first site visit.

Every Silverdale project starts with a free site visit. We walk the section with you, check slope, drainage, access and anything that sits above a wall, and send a fixed written quote within 2 days.

Most jobs take 1–3 weeks on site, plus consent time if it’s needed. You deal with Lian or Jake from the first visit to handover, and the work is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty.

Silverdale Landscaping FAQs

Can you landscape a new-build section in Silverdale?

Yes. On new sections we work around your build timeline, sort the drainage and soil first (new subdivisions are often compacted clay), then fences, decks, paths, lawn and planting. If your subdivision has developer covenants on fences or front yards, send them through and we’ll design to them.

How much does a fence or deck cost in Silverdale?

Timber paling fences start from $185 per metre and decks from $350 per m² (pine) or $540 per m² (hardwood or composite), plus GST. Timber retaining walls start from $283 per metre plus GST. Every job gets a free site visit and a fixed written quote.

Do I need consent for a retaining wall in Silverdale?

Auckland Council generally requires building consent for retaining walls over 1.5 m high, or lower walls holding up a driveway or other load. Ordinary fences up to 2.5 m don’t need consent, but pool fences usually do. We check what your job needs at the site visit and include any engineer and consent costs in the quote.

How long does a Silverdale project take?

Most projects go from site visit to finished within a few weeks, depending on size and whether consent is needed. We don’t subcontract the work out, so the timeline we quote is the one we deliver.
