We’ve lately added a maintenance service that offers ongoing care to ensure existing landscapes remain vibrant and functional. To this end we hired a full-time maintenance manager at the beginning of the summer just passed,” Jon says.

Sculptural Landscapes has won high praise from clients for its professionalism, attention to detail and ability to transform outdoor areas. “We’ve collected some impressive testimonials noting our commitment to delivering projects that meet clients’ expectations, and enhance the usability and aesthetics of outdoor areas,” Jon says. “Our lawns and planting range from neat, ordered spaces to wild coastal gardens to urban native jungle, while our steps in sculptural form create striking garden features using a diverse palette of materials. “Our retaining walls feature good foundations and proper drainage, and they’ll last year after year, minimising the garden’s maintenance requirements. Paving and pathways can be designed and built in an array of exciting materials and configurations, incorporating such features as exposed concrete aggregates and timber deck boardwalks.” Sculptural Landscapes is a member of Registered Master Landscapers of New Zealand, reflecting its commitment to industry standards and quality, and it has appeared frequently in the industry body’s annual Landscapes of Distinction competition.
