Get Outside

Get Outside is a multi-award-winning landscape architectural practice, specialising since 2004 in landscape design of outdoor play and learning environments for children and their whānau.

We enjoy designing landscapes for people of all ages to enjoy living and playing in, including residential design. The environments we live in hugely impact on the quality of our life experiences, our well-being, and our delight in and connection with the world around us. We believe all children need the opportunity to explore natural environments and to simultaneously encounter acceptable risk in order to realise their own potential and confidently engage with the world around them. What is good for children is good for all of us!

We work with schools, early childhood centres, local authorities, businesses, private clients, iwi and whānau to revitalise and develop beautiful, nature-rich play spaces and gardens that support physical activity and learning outdoors. All our designs respond thoughtfully to the unique attributes and stories of a place and the aspirations of local communities to achieve the best outcomes for our tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau.

We are happy to work at any scale and offer a fully professional landscape architectural service from concept design through detailed documentation and planting design to contract management and overseeing the implementation of our plans to ensure a good outcome.
