Gardens designed with care, built to last.
NZ Garden Design is an Auckland studio that has spent two decades turning New Zealand sites into considered, liveable gardens.
Design that begins on the ground.
We are a small Auckland studio built around one belief: a good garden is planned before anything is built. That means understanding the site, the light, the soil and the way you want to live outdoors, then drawing it properly so it can be priced, consented and planted with confidence.
Over twenty years we have designed gardens for homeowners and developers across the region, from courtyard makeovers to full property masterplans. We stay involved from the first site walk through to the last plant going in, because the drawing and the garden should be the same thing.
What guides the work.
Plan first
The considered outcome comes from the thinking done before the first sod is turned.
Built for Aotearoa
We plant for New Zealand conditions, so gardens establish well and stay low-fuss.
Documented properly
Clear drawings mean councils approve, builders price, and nothing is left to chance.
A garden built to last.
We design for the long view: gardens that establish well in New Zealand conditions, mature gracefully and need less fuss over time. The same care that goes into the plan goes into choosing plants that will still look right in ten years.
