Award-winning Sullivan + Wall Landscapes (SWL) has been crafting high-quality landscape architecture for almost 40 years. The Canterbury-based business is a trusted name across New Zealand with an extensive track record for enduring landscape design across private residential, rural and large-scale commercial projects. Founder Suzanne Sullivan’s extensive horticultural knowledge and expertise with plants created a sound foundation for the business. Current owner Leonard Wall, who took up the reins from Suzanne in 2019, has continued building on the reputation, relationships and project experience gained over the preceding decades. Leonard’s passion for landscape architecture began in childhood. He grew up around his family’s extensive farm garden in Palmerston North and has fond memories of visiting grandparents who both had large country gardens. After studying landscape architecture, he went on to win several gold awards at the Manawatū Garden Festival with Beyond the Wall Landscapes. He later moved to Canterbury and joined the SWL team, managing plant procurement for some years before taking over ownership. Working closely with Leonard, senior landscape architect Margaret Beattie is another key member of today’s team at SWL. She recently led the landscape design on two landmark Canterbury projects: Richard Hadlee Retirement Village in Northwood and the final stages of The Sterling in Kaiapoi. Former landscape architect Ester van der Sande also made a significant contribution during her 22 years with SWL, playing an important role in many Upper North Island projects. Through the years, Sullivan + Wall Landscapes has made a considerable impact as a leading landscape specialist for the retirement village sector. The company’s working relationship with Ryman Healthcare over almost four decades is especially noteworthy for its longevity and high-quality outcomes. In that time, SWL has contributed to approximately 40 Ryman retirement villages nationwide. Since Leonard took over ownership in 2019, SWL has been involved in more than 30 retirement living projects across New Zealand, representing more than $2 billion in underlying new-build development value. SWL’s comprehensive experience in the sector includes development and concept design, resource consent and detailed design through to procurement and delivery, as well as expertise on refurbishment and renewal projects. “We’ve seen retirement village landscapes at virtually every stage of their life,” Leonard says. “That gives us an understanding not only of how to design them, but also how they’re built, how they mature, how they’re maintained and how the needs of a village change over time.” Sullivan + Wall Landscapes has evolved from a traditional landscape consultancy to a broader design-to-delivery service. This evolution is well-demonstrated in their recent work for Ryman Healthcare’s Richard Hadlee Retirement Village, in Northwood, where Sullivan + Wall Landscapes was responsible for the entire Stage 1 landscape package, working alongside Hazeldine Construction and Stone Landscapes on the implementation of the hard and soft landscaping, together with plant procurement and supply. The expansive site features a layered network of gardens, walkways, communal spaces and wetlands, with a considered planting palette in step with Canterbury’s conditions. Other projects for SWL include the recently completed Lime Development’s retirement village in Silverstream, The Sterling. Beyond Canterbury, SWL is delivering landscape works for Bupa’s Riverstone development in Palmerston North and has been appointed by Summerset to provide landscape architecture services for a future New Plymouth extension. As well, SWL regularly works on projects for urban residential properties and large rural and lifestyle gardens. With his farm family background, Leonard naturally gravitates to rural and lifestyle landscapes. “I understand that rural landscapes need to be practical and functional but can also be beautifully designed places to live and work. “Whether it’s somebody’s private garden or a major retirement development, the fundamentals are much the same: understand the people, understand the site and create a landscape that improves with time. “Ultimately, we want to create landscapes we’re proud to put our name to.”
