Before you commit, it's worth confirming the scope, design only, build only, or design and build, and which elements are included: hard landscaping (retaining walls, paving, decking, fences) and soft landscaping (planting plans, lawns, irrigation, maintenance).
Ask for quote detail covering excavation, disposal, materials, access, timelines, and what's excluded, so you can compare like-for-like.
It depends on site access, how much excavation is needed, the materials (timber vs composite, pavers vs concrete) and whether you're doing design-and-build or just one element. Get an itemised scope so you can compare quotes like-for-like rather than on a single number.
Many do, but not all, and structural retaining is specialist work. If your section is sloped or the wall is load-bearing, confirm the landscaper has retaining experience and can handle any engineering or consent required.
Some offer the full package, design, hard landscaping, planting, lawns, irrigation and ongoing maintenance, while others focus mainly on construction. Match the contractor to your job, and clarify who handles planting and aftercare.
Often, yes. Retaining walls above a certain height (or carrying load), and decks above a certain height, generally need building consent from Auckland Council. A good landscaper will flag this early and manage it, see Auckland Council building consents.
Hard landscaping like paving, retaining and decking can be done year-round, while planting and lawns usually establish best in the cooler, wetter months. Your landscaper can sequence the build so construction and planting each happen at the right time.
Yes, experienced North Shore landscapers manage drainage, retaining and levelling on sloped sites, which is common across the city's hilly suburbs. Confirm they've worked on similar terrain, as poor drainage or levels can cause problems later.
Our recommended North Shore landscapers cover Takapuna, Devonport, Milford, Belmont, Birkenhead, Northcote, Glenfield, Castor Bay, Mairangi Bay, Browns Bay, Torbay, Albany and Beach Haven, plus the wider North Shore area. Many also serve neighbouring suburbs, so it is always worth confirming your exact location when you enquire.
