Landscaping Silverdale homeowners can rely on starts with a proper site visit, not a guess from photos. Silverdale is a fast-growing Hibiscus Coast town on Auckland’s northern edge, combining a long-established town centre with rapidly expanding residential subdivisions and a major retail and industrial hub nearby. Xtra Landscaping serves homes throughout Silverdale, from established properties to new-build sections.
Whether it’s an established Silverdale property or a fresh section on a new subdivision, proper drainage and soil preparation make a real difference to how a garden, retaining wall or paved area performs over time on this area’s clay soils.
For decks and fencing, we favour treated timber and hardwearing materials suited to Auckland’s wet winters and UV exposure, and for retaining walls we use engineered systems built for clay soils. Every material choice is discussed with you at quote stage, so you know what you’re getting and why before work starts.
For retaining walls, Auckland Council rules generally require building consent for walls over 1.5 metres high, 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 the same way: we walk the section with you, check slope, drainage, existing structures and access, and put together a written quote before any work begins. For new-build sections that means working alongside your build timeline; for established properties it means working around existing gardens and structures. We manage the whole job ourselves rather than handing pieces off to subcontractors we don’t know, so the crew who quotes the job is the crew who builds it.
Most Silverdale projects run from initial site visit to completion within a few weeks, depending on scope and whether a building consent is required. We keep you updated at each stage, and because we don’t subcontract the work out, the timeline we quote is the timeline we deliver to.

Silverdale Landscaping FAQs
Do you do landscaping in Silverdale?
Yes. Xtra Landscaping works across Silverdale and the Hibiscus Coast, on established homes and new-build sections. Fully insured, 2-year workmanship warranty, 65+ five-star Google reviews.
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 $325 per metre including 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.
