Groundcover Landscaping

About

Founded by Graeme and Michelle Hopkins, Groundcover has been breathing new life into the Hamilton landscaping scene since 2004.

Both Graeme and Michelle were raised in the mighty Waikato. Graeme originally started his career as a quantity surveyor, and Michelle’s background is in graphic design.

During their OE, Graeme landed a position at London’s renowned Covent Garden Flower Market, and discovered he enjoyed working with plants. He subsequently moved into a landscaping role at a central London garden centre, and continued in this career on their return to New Zealand.

Ready to bring their skills, expertise and vision to life, Graeme and Michelle decided the time was right to start their own business and created Groundcover Landscaping Ltd. These days, in addition to the overall management of the business, Graeme’s role includes meeting new clients and helping bring their landscaping ideas to life, while Michelle focuses on the admin and marketing side of the business.

Over 15 years later, Groundcover has evolved into Hamilton’s leading landscaping company with hundreds of projects at a standard matched by none.

When they’re not busy transforming outdoor dreams into realities you may find Graeme and Michelle outdoors with their two daughters Libby and Clara swimming and bike-riding.

Mission Statement

Testimonials

When we needed to get the paving laid around our home, we asked some friends who they would use. We then contacted Groundcover Landscaping and they promptly came out and met with us. We felt very confident about our decision as Graeme had a number of suggestions and totally understood what we were trying to achieve. We were impressed with their workmanship through the entire job. It’s difficult living in the property when you have tradespeople onsite but the team worked hard and respected our home, cleaning up at the end of each day made the transformation stress free. We are super happy with the workmanship and have already recommended Groundcover to our friends and family.

We have really enjoyed working with Groundcover from the start of the project. They have worked well with our designer to create an instant garden giving their advice whenever we had difficult decisions and keeping us informed from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they always seem prepared to go the extra mile to get the job done. They were always happy to accommodate our indecision to ensure all our needs were met. We are looking forward to enjoying the garden as it matures over the coming years

My home looks amazing with no maintenance on the lawn and very little in the gardens.It still looks the same as the day it was installed. I am absolutely over the moon with what they did.
Their professionalism was outstanding. A great bunch of men and happy to do anything for me.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone thinking of getting the professionals in to do their grounds or changing to Astro turf for a lawn.
They are true professionals.
