Symmetry Landscaping

When we start your project, we stay on your project.

Site Visit

We meet at your site, get to know you, your preferences and how you want to use the space. What styles appeal to you - subtropical, formal, native, contemporary? 

We assess the environment and observe how living and workspaces connect to the garden or courtyard. We take note of such things as how the light falls, views, soil quality, wind direction, access to water, and so on.

Design

We research and devise a comprehensive plan for your site. It includes everything needed to create your perfect garden such as paving, steps, a planting scheme, irrigation, artificial lighting, and grassed areas. We will provide you with options and either an estimate or fixed price.

Build

Once we’re underway, our focus is always your job. We complete and accept responsibility for all aspects of your project. If specialist tradespeople are required they work under our direction. All tasks are completed to the highest standard.

Aftercare

We stick around as want to watch how your garden develops over time. We give you advice on what’s required to ensure it looks stunning throughout the seasons and as it matures. If you’d like help taking care of your garden, we can step in when required or you can choose a regular maintenance programme.

We design and build new gardens anywhere in Auckland. We also love giving tired or overgrown gardens a makeover, whether a major overhaul or minor refresh. We don’t walk away once the job is done either - we maintain gardens so they always look their best and the plants thrive.

With over 18 years of experience in landscape design and horticulture, we undertake almost any project. Today, the word ‘garden’ hardly fits all the spaces we design or renovate. While much of our work still involves suburban gardens, we also transform inner-city courtyards and patios, lifestyle blocks and workplaces.

You’ll find us professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, friendly and reliable.

When we begin your project, we stay on your project, completing most tasks ourselves, or if a niche service is required, overseeing others we trust.

Are you drawn to formal, minimalist, subtropical or native gardens? Or something entirely different?
Whatever your space or style preference, we will design the perfect outdoor space for you. We create bespoke landscape designs for all sorts of properties - residential, commercial and rural.

Plans evolve after we’ve met our client at their site. We listen to what they like and how they intend using the space both now and into the future.

These days people think of their outdoor areas as an extension of their home, so we assess the surroundings and suggest ways to improve indoor-outdoor flow.

We enjoy opening our clients’ eyes to all the possibilities. Have they thought about creating a quiet sanctuary somewhere in the garden? A play zone for children? Security for pets? Cooking and entertainment areas? A utility space? There’s so much to think about and we’re thorough. We want to get it right the first time.

We design and build. This means we take care of the entire project from concept to big reveal, guaranteeing top quality work and service at every step.

We’re knowledgeable and passionate about plants and believe they enhance any space. They soften, add texture, filter light, provide shade, shelter, and homes for wildlife. Edible or decorative, they’re a healthy addition to any garden. We’ve gained quite a reputation for our planting plans, especially using subtropical, native species and hardier coastal plants.

Our services include

• specifying, sourcing and planting all trees, shrubs, grasses, ground cover etc.
• improving soils
• laying turf, both grass and artificial
• decorative tree work - topiary and espalier
• selection of indoor plants and planters

Almost all outdoor spaces require some form of hard landscaping. Think of it as the garden’s ‘bones’ - the hard components such as pathways, patios, concrete and decking. When we create a layout, we consider your movement around the garden and between inside and outside, how you’ll use the space and how hard surfaces interact with soft, mainly the plants.

We lay paving to create paths, steps, patios, seating and entertainment areas. We also build garden edging and raised beds, install irrigation systems and lighting.

While some clients prefer to do their own gardening, perhaps with occasional help from us, others commit to regular or seasonal maintenance programmes.

Our team provides a full range of services including

• lawn care
• hedge and tree trimming
• soil improvement
• pest and disease control including eco-friendly
• moss, mould and lichen removal
• green waste disposal
