Planters
Landscape Architects
About us
A practice built on craft.
Planters is an Auckland-based landscape practice delivering premium landscape design, construction and maintenance across residential and commercial projects. We combine thoughtful design thinking with expert craftsmanship to create outdoor spaces that feel considered, refined and enduring.
Our work spans estate landscapes, contemporary poolscapes, civil infrastructure, public restoration and large-scale commercial developments. We work closely with architects, designers, developers, principal contractors and homeowners — translating drawings into places that age with grace.
We measure success in the way a landscape settles into its setting, how it is used, and whether it still feels right ten years from now.
Our Story
A practice built on craft.
Planters began with a simple conviction — that outdoor spaces deserve the same care, intent and craftsmanship as the buildings they sit alongside. What started as a small team with a deep passion for landscape has grown into one of Auckland's premium landscape contractors.
Today we deliver residential gardens, commercial grounds and civil landscape construction across the region. We work closely with architects, designers, developers and homeowners — translating drawings into considered, enduring places.
Our work is quiet by nature. We measure success in how a space ages, how it's used, and whether it still feels right ten years from now.
Our Process
From first conversation to enduring landscape.
01 Consultation
We listen first — to your site, your brief, and the way you'll live or work in the space.
02 Design
Considered design, costed transparently and refined together before any ground is broken.
03 Construction
An experienced site team executes the build with care, sequence and accountability.
04 Completion
A thorough walkthrough and handover — every detail signed off before we leave.
05 Ongoing Maintenance
Optional long-term care to keep the landscape growing the way it was designed.
What We Believe
Three principles that shape everything we build.
01 Craftsmanship
Every project is built with precision, attention to detail and quiet pride in the work.
02 Relationships
We build long-term relationships with clients, consultants and contractors — trust earned project by project.
03 Quality
We choose quality materials and experienced people because landscapes should improve with age.
