Landscape design ideas for Wellington sections

Consider your sun and wind exposure. Wellington sections vary hugely. Good orientation changes everything.

Choose materials and plants suited to your microclimate, whether coastal Porirua, sheltered Hutt Valley, or an exposed Wellington hilltop.

Plan drainage first. Wellington's rainfall means getting water away from your home and garden is a priority, not an afterthought.

Common questions

How long do projects typically take?

Most projects range from 6-16 weeks depending on scope. We provide a clear detailed timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect and what we can’t know until we start.

What happens if budget changes mid-project?

We keep you in the loop with regular updates. If costs shift, we'll talk through options before making any changes. It is always good practice to ensure you have contingency planned with any budget as there can be unknowns and we discuss this with you from the outset.

Can you work around our schedule?

Yes. We're flexible with timing and can work around your needs where possible. Just let us know what works best.

How long have you been building?

15+ years across New Zealand and the USA. That's enough time to see what works and what doesn't.

What areas do you service?

We're based in Wellington and work throughout the region including Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Porirua.

Do you do small jobs or just big ones?

We do both. Whether it's a small repair or a full renovation or build, we bring the same quality and attention to detail.

Do you work with architects?

Yes. If you need design help, we can refer you to great local architects we trust or work with your chosen architect.
