Professional Landscaping & Garden Transformations
East Auckland & Surrounding Auckland Suburbs

From London's Kensington Gardens to landscaping services across east Auckland

Kensington Landscaping has been transforming gardens across east Auckland since 2003, turning tired outdoor areas into spaces that are admired and enjoyed.

Rob Figgins spent 11 years in London, finishing as manager of Kensington Gardens, the Royal Park adjoining Hyde Park. Those standards continue to shape everything we do.

As professional landscapers serving Howick, central and east Auckland, we offer landscape design, landscape construction and hard landscaping, including paving, retaining walls, fences and decks, as well as planting.

About Kensington Landscaping: Kensington Landscaping is a landscaping and grounds maintenance business based in Cockle Bay, Auckland, providing garden makeovers, swimming pool landscaping, water features, retaining walls, decks, pergolas, paving, lawns, irrigation and planting across east Auckland. Learn more.

Garden maintenance rounds run monthly, two-monthly or quarterly across Howick and east Auckland, covering pruning, weeding, edging, mulch refreshes and fertilising. One-off tidy-ups suit gardens that have got away on you. Commercial grounds maintenance services and body corporate sites are taken on as well.

Pool landscaping covers paving, hardwood decking, stairs, screens, gardens and glass, aluminium or timber fencing, with natural turf or artificial grass finishing the outdoor living area. Coping and resurfacing go to specialist contractors we work alongside. Pool companies can be recommended before the build starts.

Decks and pergolas are built in Kwila and Vitex hardwood, from earthworks through to the finished structure. Pergola sizing and footings are planned to stay within council limits where possible, since most clients would rather avoid consent. Steep and tight-access sites are common in east Auckland.

A recent purchase, a 1970s garden that has become too much work, or a section churned up by builders. Garden makeover services keep the features worth keeping and rebuild the rest, whether that is the front, the back or the whole property, including privacy planting and screens.

Patchy, bumpy lawn, or an awkward strip that is a nuisance to mow. Instant turf, hydroseeding for larger areas around 300 to 400 square metres and pet-friendly artificial lawn installation all start with the ground dug out, levelled and prepared. Tall Fescue is the usual recommendation for Auckland lawns because it handles wear, drought and shade. Turf comes from Fine Lawn in Hamilton.

Garden lost to a slope, or a bank you cannot use? Retaining walls are matched to the site and the load they carry, in timber post, railway sleeper, Keystone, Country Manor or Sedona block. Engineer drawings and consent can be arranged for walls over about 1.5 metres, with raised beds built in.
