OUR SERVICES

Planting Plans

With significant local experience under our belt we know what works and what likely won't. We have access to a wide range of plants, many at wholesale rates. Whether you are after a particular aesthetic, or just low maintenance year round appeal, let us point you in the right direction.

Typically our clients reside in the Hutt Valley but we can assist with projects further afield. At least one site visit is required to familiarise with the particulars of the site, discuss the brief with the client and gather key measurements. We usually meet onsite to present the draft plan to clients. In most cases this can be replaced with an online/ phone call. Travel costs are as follows (return trip) and cover both time and fuel costs: Wellington $50, Wairarapa/ Kapiti $100, Horowhenua $150, Manawatu $200. For travel costs to places further afield please enquire.
