Tired, overgrown or unusable garden? We plan and build complete garden renovations, from drainage and retaining to paving, lawn and planting, with one team start to finish.
“Service always, Relationship Forever.”
Most gardens we’re asked to renovate have the same problems: a slope you can’t use, a lawn that stays wet all winter, overgrown beds, and a layout that doesn’t suit how the family lives now. Fixing one piece at a time costs more and rarely looks right. A garden renovation plans the whole space at once and builds it in the right order, so the drainage, walls, paths, lawn and planting all work together.
We renovate front yards, backyards and whole sections from Devonport and Takapuna up to Browns Bay, Long Bay, Albany, Greenhithe, Silverdale and Whangaparāoa. You deal directly with the team who designs and builds it, not a chain of subcontractors.
Fully insured, with a 2-year workmanship warranty and 65+ five-star Google reviews. We also build retaining walls, decks and fences as part of a renovation.
North Shore clay holds water. We fix wet lawns and soggy corners before anything else, so new lawn and plants thrive.
Hardy natives and hedging chosen for your soil, sun and coastal wind, planted into improved soil.
Clearing, drainage, walls, paving, decks, fences, lawn and planting, all by the same team, with a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Every renovation is different. These are the pieces we combine to suit your section and budget.
We remove old gardens, weeds, concrete, dead lawn and green waste, then fix wet ground with subsoil drains, sumps and correct falls away from the house.
Turn a slope into flat, usable space with timber, block or gabion retaining walls, steps and garden terraces.
Safe access around the section, an outdoor area for a table and chairs, and a deck or privacy fence built as part of the same project.
New ready lawn or artificial turf on properly prepared ground, hedging and low-maintenance beds, with clean edging and bark or stone mulch.
A clear plan, a fixed written quote, and the work done in the right order.
We walk the section with you, talk about how you want to use it and your budget, and check drainage, slope and access.
A clear layout and a fixed written quote, broken into stages if that helps spread the cost.
Clearing, drainage and earthworks first, so nothing has to be undone later.
Retaining walls, paving, steps, decks and fences built on solid foundations.
Soil prepared, lawn and plants in last, then a walk-through with care notes. Covered by our 2-year warranty.
Most of our clients want a garden that looks good without every weekend spent on it. These choices cut ongoing work for years.
One team that plans and builds the whole garden, properly and in the right order.
We plan the full garden first, so drainage, walls, paths, lawn and planting all work together, even if you build it in stages.
Every renovation is covered by our 2-year workmanship warranty and Good Work Guarantee. We are fully insured and Site Safe members.
Split a bigger renovation into two or three stages. Each stage fits the final design, so nothing is redone.
A fixed written quote, realistic timelines and regular updates. You deal directly with Jake and Lian.
"Service always, Relationship Forever" is our commitment. We are here for advice, maintenance and future projects long after your garden is finished.
Retaining walls over 1.5 m and some earthworks need consent. We flag this in your quote so there are no surprises.

It depends on the size of the garden and what is involved. Smaller front yard refreshes are quoted after a free site visit, and most full backyard or whole-section renovations fall between $10,000 and $50,000+, including GST. Drainage, retaining walls, paving and plant sizes have the biggest effect on price.
A planting and tidy-up can take a day or two. A full renovation with drainage, retaining, paving and lawn usually takes one to four weeks on site, depending on size, weather and access. We confirm a timeline with your quote.
Yes. Many clients split a bigger renovation into two or three stages to spread the cost. We plan the whole garden first so each stage fits the final design and nothing has to be redone later.
Yes. We walk the site with you, talk through how you want to use the space, and plan a layout that suits your section, budget and maintenance level. The same team then builds it.
Yes. Wet lawns are common on North Shore clay. We find where the water is coming from and install subsoil drainage, sumps or better falls before laying new lawn or turf, so the problem does not come back.
Hard landscaping such as retaining walls, paving and decks can be built year-round. Autumn and spring are the best times for planting and new lawn, as the ground is warm and moist. We can schedule the planting stage to suit.
