ABOUT US
The 'Moat' approach
"Designing outdoor spaces which ellicit joy and pride, as well as providing a place for refuge, inspiration and connection with nature. Cultivating the values of Kaitiakitanga, guardianship, gratitude and ecological awareness through engagement with nature in your backyard. "
“Katie provided us with amazing service, she was flexible with meeting us onsite and made a time that worked best for me and my partner. We were blown away when we received the plan and were so happy that we decided to upgrade to the comprehensive plan, definitely worth it! Would highly recommend Katie if you’re looking at getting a landscaping plan done.”
