Garden design & landscaping in Auckland

From a single bed you never know what to do with, to a whole property transformed from bare ground into a finished garden. We design it with you, we show you the plan before anything is dug, and then the same team builds it. It's the kind of landscaping homeowners and businesses call for, whether they need backyard landscaping in Auckland to make the most of their outdoor space, or front yard landscaping before a sale. Every job starts with landscape design from our Auckland team, so you can actually see it on paper before a spade ever touches the ground.

The plan comes first, and it's free

Ring us, and we will come to your place to talk through what you want. We have plenty of experience and plenty of ideas, and we can design the garden around your favourite colour or your favourite plants if that is how you think about it. After that visit, you get a plan to look at. Change it as much as you like; it's your garden, and we would rather get it right on paper. The consultation and the plan cost you nothing, so everything you save there goes into the plants instead. Whether you want a full new garden design or are just after a landscape gardening quote in Auckland to compare options, the first visit is always free.

Then the same people build it

Once the plan is agreed, we build it, using good products and doing the groundwork properly before anything goes in. You are not handed from a designer to a separate crew who have never seen the drawing. That is the whole reason our motto is "do it once and do it right". Your landscape gardener in Auckland already knows the plan, rather than seeing it for the first time on-site. It's the same whether we're doing a full backyard rebuild or front yard landscaping in Auckland before going to market.

Hard landscaping, handled

We do all the soft landscaping services in Auckland ourselves. Structural work, such as decks, fences, and retaining walls, goes through a builder we have worked with for years. You still deal with us, and you still get one job rather than three trades to chase. Our landscape contractors in Auckland bring the same approach to every job, whether commercial or residential.

Garden design & landscaping in AucklandCommon questions

Anything else, just ask — you'll get a straight answer.

Is the design really free?

Yes. The initial consultation and the plan we give you to review are free, with no obligation to go ahead.

Can I change the plan after you have drawn it?

Please do. You can make changes at any point, as we'd much rather revise a drawing than rebuild a garden.

How much does a landscape cost?

It depends entirely on the size of the property and what goes into it. We have done everything from tidy-ups to full-property builds, and plenty of affordable landscaping for Auckland homeowners. Once we have seen the site and agreed on a plan, you get a real number, not a guess.

What makes Underground Gardening different from other landscaping companies in Auckland?

The same crew that designs the garden also builds it, rather than handing you off to a separate landscaping company in Auckland. We also do the whole thing ourselves—soft landscaping in-house, hard landscaping through one trusted builder partner—so it's one point of contact instead of three.

Do you offer landscape architecture, or more straightforward garden design?

We're a design-and-build team, not a landscape architecture Auckland firm in the registered, licensed sense. For most home and commercial gardens, a proper plan drawn before anything's dug and built by the same people who designed it is exactly what's needed. If a job genuinely needs a registered landscape architect, we'll say so upfront rather than take it on regardless.

Do your landscape gardeners handle small jobs, or only full renovations?

Both! Our landscape gardeners in Auckland are available for everything from a single garden bed to a full property, and it's the same crew either way. A small job gets the same care as a big one.

What are some low-maintenance landscaping ideas for an Auckland garden?

Grouping plants by water needs, choosing hardy natives over high-maintenance exotics, and keeping hedge lines and lawn edges simple rather than fussy are some of the most common low-maintenance landscaping ideas NZ gardens use. We can build any of that into a plan if low maintenance is your priority.

Everything else we do
