Landscaping, West Auckland
Full outdoor transformations that cover both the built structure and the green that goes around it.
What is covered
Fixing the water before anything else
Heavy clay traps water, which is why so many West Auckland backyards turn into a bog every winter. The site's natural fall gets assessed first, then subsoil drainage, French drains or surface channels redirect water away from the lawn and living areas. Everything else is built on top of that.
Hard and soft, done together
Hard landscaping is the built structure: retaining walls, decks, fencing, paving and steps. Soft landscaping is the living part: clearing, topsoil, planting, ready lawn or artificial turf. Running both together is what makes a yard feel finished rather than assembled.

TitirangiCommon questions
My backyard pools water every winter. Can that be fixed?
Usually yes. It starts with reading the site's fall, then installing subsoil drainage, French drains or surface channels to move the water off before new turf or paving goes down.
What does a full transformation cost?
It depends on terrain, access and scope. A lawn levelling and ready lawn install is a very different budget to a multi level build with retaining and paving. Quotes are itemised and free.
Do you handle the whole job?
Yes. Excavation, drainage, structure, paving and planting are all handled by the same crew.
