Landscene Landscaping · Philip Morris
Design, planting, lawns, hedges, clean-ups and regular maintenance — run by Philip out of Mt Eden. Most of the work sits within a short drive of home: villa gardens, bungalow sections, courtyards that need rescuing or rethinking. If your garden has outgrown your weekends, that is exactly where I come in.
About
I’m Philip. I design planting that copes with Auckland clay and humid summers, and I keep gardens tidy on a set schedule so they never slide backwards. I also take part in community gardening events with the Garden Design Society of NZ — local shows, garden visits and hands-on days — which keeps me around other people who take plants seriously.
No sales team, no call centre. You ring 021 637 796, you get me.

Services
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
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
Supply and installation of shrubs, perennials and native planting. Species are chosen to suit Auckland conditions, so the garden still looks good with ordinary, realistic care.
03
Regular mowing, edging, fertilising and weed control. One-off cuts for overgrown lawns as well as scheduled visits through the growing season.
04
Shaping and height reduction for privet, griselinia, pittosporum and other common Auckland hedges. Green waste is removed and the site left swept clean.
05 · Most booked
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. Most finish in a day or two.
06
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.
Residential
Family sections, rental properties, new builds and pre-sale tidy-ups. A lot of the work is Mt Eden villas and Epsom bungalows with gardens that have outgrown their owners’ weekends — steep banks, old hedges, lawns that need rescuing.
Selling? A clean-up before photography day usually pays for itself. Staying? A maintenance plan keeps the place 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 — the grounds just stay presentable.
Process
Email [email protected] or call 021 637 796. Say what the garden needs, roughly how big it is, and which suburb you are in.
Philip comes out, walks the section with you, and sends a written quote. No charge for quotes inside the service area.
Agreed dates, tidy work, green waste taken away. Most clean-ups and small projects finish in a day or two.
If you want it, the garden goes onto a maintenance schedule — so it never slides backwards again.
Pricing
Rough figures so you know the shape of it. Every real price comes from a free site visit and a written quote.
