by Professional New Zealand Garden Designers

If You're A New Zealand Homeowner Looking For Easy and Cost-effective Landscape Design Help, You're In The Right Place...

If you’ve decided you're ready to tackle the transformation of your outdoor space, you'll be keen to get it started pronto so you, your family, and your friends can enjoy it.

But if you're reading this, then you've already started exploring ideas for your gorgeous garden and have figured out that you might benefit from some professional help. That's smart!  Why stress about design decisions, spatial layouts, planting selections, or how to stage the build so it doesn't break the bank. That's what we're here for!

Planning your new garden should be FUN, and we've already helped countless New Zealand families take the stress out of planning and implementing their landscaping projects.

If you like what you're hearing, keep reading to learn how we make it easy & stress free....

  • Use our easy online tool to create your garden wish list & define your must-haves

  • Discuss your specific garden challenges with us during your pre-design consultation. Once we understand your issues, we can give you the solutions. 

  • Kick back & relax while we incorporate great ideas & solutions into a cohesive landscape master plan.

Your garden master plan is more than just a pretty piece of paper!

It's a guide to turning those dreams of yours into a beautiful, functional, low-maintenance garden reality. Enjoy the confidence that comes when you're armed with an overarching vision and can work at your own pace to transform your outdoors into a place you will truly enjoy being in. 

But as you know, planning (the design stage) is only the first part of any landscape project. A design needs to be achievable in order to get built, and that's one of the main ways DIY Designs differ from other design companies!

We specialise in creating garden concepts full of cost-effective, easy-to-build design ideas.

  • If you're a hands-on or DIY type, you can do some or all of the work yourself. Just perfect for when the landscaping budget is tight! 

  • If you plan to contract landscapers for some or all of your build, rest assured! We are recognised in the NZ landscape industry as having the ability and skills to deliver quality, comprehensive concept plans for landscape construction costing & implementation.

  • Most of our clients take a mixed approach. Doing aspects such as demolition, painting & staining, product sourcing, planting & project management themselves, and getting landscape contractors in to do the tricker aspects such as building decks, patios & fences. 

However you approach it, a plan is your guide to success!

Whether you're starting from scratch with a new build, breathing new life into an existing garden with a full site makeover, or you just have one small garden area that needs a spruce up, work with us and whatever the desired style for your property is, from classic, contemporary or cottage, to NZ native plant sanctuary or one of a ton of themes in between, we'll help you create an achievable design that will have you excited to start digging.

Just because we're a design-only company, doesn't mean we haven't got your back throughout the implementation either! If you ever need our support and advice as you start to put the ideas into action, we're right here, and we'd love to hear from you. 

Before you know it, you'll be able to relax and rejuvenate in solitude or socialise on the new deck with company & cocktails. Kick a ball with the kids or just spend quality time as a family making lasting memories. However, YOU dream of using your new and improved garden, if you choose to work with us we'll help you make it a reality!

HOW TO GET STARTED

LANDSCAPE DESIGN NZ WIDE, WITH OUR ONLINE DESIGN HELP

If you're still reading, you'll have figured out by now that we have shaken things up and taken landscape design online!

DIY Designs were the first to bring online garden design to the New Zealand market. Not as a response to covid & lockdowns either!

We were doing it well before then because we saw that it was a great option for you if you're living in a remote part of NZ, or your local options are limited. A lot of our Auckland homeowners choose to work with us online too, because it's just so convenient! 

Regardless of where you are in NZ, you can get the expert help of our award-winning lead designer Kerry, and her talented design team. We'll make sure you are on the right path to achieving your landscaping vision and avoiding costly or ugly mistakes and disappointing planting disasters.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

We are proud to share what previous landscape design clients said about their experience working with us, both online and (in Auckland) onsite. Click to read our google  reviews...

" Can't say enough about Kerry & DIY garden designs!

We'd moved into our lovely house a few years ago and the garden was tidy, but very bland and fragmented. We wanted a functional space we would actually use and overcome our biggest problem - the NE wind. Kerry's design was excellent right from the draft and has given us a functional and beautiful plan. She listened to what we did want and what needed to go and produced a beautiful plan. I'm excited about gardening again after a few years of having no interest.

Can't recommend DIY Designs enough!"       HOLLY - CHRISTCHURCH
