FAQs

Question 1

How much does a landscaper cost in the North Island?

Accepted Answer

For straightforward planting or lawn installation, expect around $80–$150 per square metre. High-end design-build projects with hardscapes, lighting and pools can range from $250 to $800+ per square metre. Always request a detailed, fixed-price quote.

Question 2

Do landscapers handle council consent and utility locates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reputable landscapers will manage building consent for retaining walls, decks or pools and arrange underground service locates before digging, saving you time and reducing risk.

Question 3

What’s the difference between a landscaper, a landscape designer and a landscape architect?

Accepted Answer

A landscaper focuses on physical construction and planting. A landscape designer creates the visual concept and planting plan. A landscape architect has degree-level training and can design large or technically complex outdoor spaces. Many projects benefit from a collaboration of all three disciplines.

Question 4

How early should I book a landscaper?

Accepted Answer

Good landscapers are often booked 2–4 months in advance, and longer during spring. Engage one as soon as your concept plan or building consent is underway to secure a slot.

Question 5

Are materials included in the quote?

Accepted Answer

Most quotes are turn-key and cover plants, soil, timber, pavers and fixtures. If you prefer to supply certain items yourself, discuss this upfront so allowances can be adjusted.
