Landscape design in Morrinsville & the Waikato
A good garden starts on paper. Our designer, Vanessa, turns your section, your budget and the way you live into a plan the KLG team can build and look after.
Design work: up to about 75 km from Morrinsville.
The problem we solve
A plan for your property before a spade goes in the ground.
Most garden disappointments come from skipping the plan. Beds end up in the wrong place for the sun, paths don't go where people actually walk, and plants that looked good at the garden centre outgrow their spot or sulk in Waikato clay. Fixing it later costs far more than designing it right.
A landscape design gives you the whole picture first: how the outdoor space connects to the house, where you'll sit in the evening, what you'll see from the kitchen window in July, and how much maintenance you're signing up for. It also means your budget goes on the things that matter, in the right order.
Because KLG designs, builds and maintains, our designs are grounded in what actually works on properties around Morrinsville, Matamata and Te Aroha: the soils, the wind, the frosts and the plants that thrive here.
What's included
- Site visit and consultation with Vanessa
- Site measurements and analysis (sun, shelter, drainage, existing planting)
- Concept design and layout
- Planting plan suited to local conditions
- Hard-landscaping concepts: paths, edging, paving, steps (full design)
- Computer-generated plans (full design)
- Staged implementation guidance so the build can happen in affordable stages
- A clear handover to the KLG construction team
Two ways to work with us
Sketch Design or Full Landscape Design
Both are prepared by Vanessa and built by the KLG team. The difference is depth.
Sketch Design & Planting Plan
Smaller residential projects, garden upgrades, and anyone who wants visual direction before committing.
- Concept sketches
- Basic garden structure planning
- Planting recommendations and planting-plan guidance suited to local conditions
- Flexible and less intensive
Full Landscape Design
Property transformations, new builds and lifestyle properties wanting a complete new outdoor vision.
- Concept to implementation
- Site measurements and analysis
- Computer-generated plans
- Hard-landscaping concepts: paths, edging, paving, steps
- Staged implementation guidance
How it works
What happens when you get in touch
- 1
Consultation
We walk the property with you and talk through how you use it, what's not working, what you love, and your budget. Bring photos of gardens you like.
- 2
Site measure and analysis
We measure up and note the sun path, shelter, drainage, soil and views, plus anything worth keeping.
- 3
Concept and plan
Vanessa prepares the concept: layout, structure and a planting palette. A Sketch Design keeps this light; a Full Landscape Design develops it into detailed plans.
- 4
Build and care
Our own team constructs the design, in stages if that suits your budget, then our maintenance team can look after it as it establishes.
Two ways to work with us
Full Landscape Design is the complete package: concept to implementation, with site measurements, computer-generated plans, hard-landscaping concepts and staged implementation guidance. It's the right choice for property transformations, new builds and lifestyle properties looking for a complete new outdoor vision.
Sketch Design & Planting Plan is lighter and more flexible: concept sketches, basic garden structure planning, and planting recommendations and planting-plan guidance suited to local conditions. It suits smaller residential projects, garden upgrades and clients who want visual direction before proceeding.
Designed for this part of the Waikato
Heavy clay soils, hot dry summers and cold, wet winters shape what will thrive here. We plan drainage and soil preparation into the design, choose plants for the conditions rather than the catalogue, and include native and bird-friendly planting where it suits the brief.
