LANDSCENE
Landscaping — Mt Eden, Auckland
I’m Philip Morris. I run Landscene Landscaping out of Mt Eden — garden design, planting, lawn care, hedge trimming, clean-ups and regular maintenance plans.
Most of my work is within a short drive of home: villa gardens, bungalow sections, courtyards that need rescuing or rethinking. One phone number, no call centre.
I also take part in community gardening events with the Garden Design Society of NZ — local shows, garden visits and hands-on days.
“A tidy garden changes how the whole property feels.”

Services
All of it done by me, with help brought in only for the heavy days. If it involves plants, soil, lawns or hedges, it is probably on this list.
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.
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.
Regular mowing, edging, fertilising and weed control. One-off cuts for overgrown lawns as well as scheduled visits through the growing season.
Shaping and height reduction for privet, griselinia, pittosporum and other common Auckland hedges. Green waste is removed and the site left swept clean.
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.
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
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.
Selling? A clean-up before photography day usually pays for itself. Staying? A maintenance plan keeps it sharp without you lifting a spade.
Small office grounds, childcare centres, café courtyards and body-corporate common areas. Set schedules, tidy work, invoices that need no chasing.
Same deal as residential: a written quote after a site visit, agreed dates, green waste taken away.

Recent work
Not a portfolio of claimed trophies — just the kinds of jobs that fill the week, and what “done” looks like for each.
A typical redesign: beds re-shaped, old shrubs out, new planting chosen for the soil and the aspect, mulch down, lawn re-cut. Two to three days, and the place photographs like a different property.
A typical clean-up: weeds gone, hedges back to crisp lines, edges re-cut, green waste hauled away. One long day. Done the week before the photographer arrives, it is the cheapest facelift a property can get.
A typical maintenance plan: fortnightly visits, mowing and edges, weeding, seasonal pruning, a short note after each visit. The garden holds its shape all year, and there is never another rescue bill.
How we work
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.
