Your Beautiful Garden - By Design
You've browsed countless magazines and scrolled through Pinterest, and now you’re wondering how to go about making the transformation happen.
We provide custom landscape design accompanied by a unique selection of plants, textures and flowers that mirror your home, style and personality.
And are excellent hands at renovations and solving spatial design puzzles in older homes and baches.
Personalised Landscape Design Services for Beautiful Gardens
Our clients often dream of an outdoor space to relax away from the stresses of daily life. But aren’t sure how to bring their dreams into reality.
They want to get a glimpse of nature every day as they look out through their window at a living portrait.
Our service bridges the gap, ensuring every design element works cohesively to create the space you’re looking for.
Add that professional touch to your landscape, and find the balance between style and a practical, family-friendly garden.
From design to liaising with your construction company or builder, planting and ongoing garden maintenance - we create beautiful gardens by design.
“Look out at a living portrait right outside your window every day and feel lifted by the colours of nature.”
“Despite being next to a busy road, I feel like I’ve been transported into a tropical oasis! Whilst working from home, I look out the window to see tui and tauhou feasting on the vibrant yellow kowhai flowers Monarchs and red admirals flutter about the ligularia flowers So many creatures find refuge and sustenance in this garden! So rewarding and satisfying I feel rested and at peace whenever I step outside into it.”
Let's Meet
To give you an idea of how we work, all our projects start an initial garden design consultation. During this 60 minute (or so) meeting we will take a look at your house & garden and we can talk about a whole range of things relating to your project – e.g. scope, lifestyle, functionality, budget, time frames, aesthetic and so on. While we are there we will give you lots of initial ideas and inspiration and we can also talk about the full scope of the project.
“Slow down. Appreciate the details in the blooms and blossoms.”
Garden Consultation
Some people find the initial garden design consultation is sufficient for what they need and are happy to move forward on their own, while others will have additional work they need help with. Whatever you need is absolutely fine with us. Once we have a better idea of scope we will go away and prepare a fee proposal for any landscape design work you might need help with. You can then decide whether or not you would like to work together on that additional work.
If you think that would be a helpful starting place, the fee for our initial consultation is $175. We only offer a few consultations each week and these book up a few weeks in advance.
From exceptional landscape design packages to comprehensive end-to-end services, our team of expert landscape designers, partnered local landscape construction contractors and our own team of gardeners will work with you to bring your vision to life and create a destination for friends and family to enjoy with you all year round
From your initial garden consultation* to the finishing touches, we handle every aspect of your project, including design, materials & plant selection, landscape construction, and maintenance, ensuring a seamless and personalised experience.

Landscape Design
From our initial garden consultation, we create a fully annotated, to-scale 2D landscape design, a plan which represents all elements within your new landscape.
Construction
Once your landscape design is ready, our recommended contractors plan & install the hardscaping elements of your new garden.
Planting
After the construction is completed, your landscape designer places each plant in its perfect place for our team of gardeners to plant & establish into your new oasis.
Garden Care & Maintenance
Once finished, we develop a personalised detailed garden maintenance manual outlining monthly gardening tasks & offer you the services of our professional garden maintenance team.
"I met Claire a while back to design my own garden as I had no experience of where to start. She immediately drew up plans, idea options and which plants go where! Seven years later, it’s just beautiful and worth every penny as an investment in my home. I work in real estate and refer to Sculpt Gardens as my go-to team - with ideas of getting a garden ready for market or bigger projects when buyers move in. They are super efficient, direct, helpful, and I would highly recommend them with creating your dream exterior!!"

Landscape Design That Starts With You
We love to meet our clients and wander the space, talking and asking lots of questions. Getting to know you, your family, your garden, your lifestyle and your aspirations.
We work hard to design stylish gardens that work for you and how you live. Each and every garden we sculpt is unique and in tune with our clients' needs. We take a personalised approach - no cookie cutter garden designs from us.
In the 60-minute garden consultation, we take time to learn about you, your family, your style and your way of life. We find out how it feels to be in your home - its energy and personality. And how you want your outdoor space to mirror this.
We take into account
your vision for your garden,
your desired design direction and wishlist,
timeframe,
project budget,
garden size & project scope
practical requirements.
After this meeting, we’ll send you a tailored fee proposal for the landscape design work we've discussed.
Landscape and Garden Design That Brings You Closer To Nature
Our plans are fully annotated two-dimensional scaled representations of your landscape.
They come with construction notes & suggested surfaces, products and materials that enable our partnered landscape construction company or a builder of your choice to prepare a quote for the construction elements of the design for you.
The landscape design also details all the plants, with names & photos, to help you understand what you are getting. These planting plans are easy to follow, using symbols to represent plants in their precise location.
You can therefore see how many plants you will need and where they will go.
“As female designers, we bring a new perspective to the thought process, which can ultimately make garden design more accessible to everyone.”
"Claire provided a wonderful design for all three areas of our property (entrance, driveway & back garden) that was thoughtful and integrated our desire for low maintenance. She went over and above and provided an idea for a fence design feature and the absolute look and feel we were after. The implemented design has exceeded our expectations, and as the garden grows, it looks better and better. We highly recommend Sculpt for garden design."
