Landscene Landscaping · Auckland
A garden is never finished. It just needs someone paying attention.
I’m Philip Morris. I run Landscene out of Mt Eden — garden design, planting, lawns, hedges, clean-ups and regular maintenance, mostly within a short drive of home. Scroll on and I’ll show you how the work runs, what it costs in rough terms, and how to get a proper quote.
What I do
Six services, one phone number
Everything below is work I do myself, with help brought in only for the heavy days. If it involves plants, soil, lawns or hedges in Auckland, it is probably on this list.
- / 01
Garden design
New planting layouts, bed shapes and garden structure designed around your section’s sun, soil and drainage. I draw up a simple plan first, so you can see the whole picture before any digging starts.
- / 02
Planting
Supply and installation of shrubs, perennials and native planting. Species are chosen to suit Auckland clay and humid summers, so the garden still looks good with ordinary care.
- / 03
Lawn care
Regular mowing, edging, fertilising and weed control. One-off cuts for overgrown lawns as well as scheduled visits through the growing season.
- / 04
Hedge trimming
Shaping and height reduction for privet, griselinia, pittosporum and other common Auckland hedges. Green waste is removed and the site left swept clean.
- / 05
Garden clean-ups
One-off tidy-ups: weeding, pruning, leaf clearance and green waste removal. A good reset before a property goes on the market or after a season of neglect.
- / 06
Maintenance plans
Ongoing care on a set schedule — fortnightly or monthly visits covering mowing, weeding, pruning and seasonal tasks. You always know what was done and when.
Who it’s for
Homes & workplaces
Residential
Family sections, rental properties, new builds and pre-sale tidy-ups. Much of the work is Mt Eden villas and Epsom bungalows — gardens that have outgrown their owners’ weekends.
Selling? A clean-up before photography day usually pays for itself. Staying? A maintenance plan keeps it sharp without you lifting a spade.
Commercial
Small office grounds, childcare centres, café courtyards and body-corporate common areas. Set schedules, tidy work, invoices that need no chasing.
