Yes, you can use your outdoor room year-round, provided it’s designed with New Zealand’s varied climate in mind. To ensure year-round comfort, it’s important to include weather-resistant materials, proper insulation (if enclosed), and features like roofing, outdoor heaters, retractable screens, or sliding glass panels to protect against wind, rain, and cold. Incorporating good lighting and ventilation also helps make the space functional in all seasons. A well-designed outdoor room can serve as an extension of your indoor living space, providing shelter and comfort no matter the time of year.

We’ve completed outdoor room and landscaping projects ranging from under $20,000* to over $200,000*. This is a reflection of how greatly project requirements can vary. While there’s no one-size-fits-all price tag, our 5-step process includes a detailed costing stage, where you’ll receive a tailored estimate based on your specific needs. You'll have the opportunity to review and adjust the scope before construction begins, ensuring we align with your budget and avoid any unexpected surprises.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Zones Landscaping Consultant.

In New Zealand, most standard landscaping projects such as planting, laying pavers, or installing small fences, do not require council approval. However, if your plans involve structural elements like retaining walls over 1.5 metres, significant excavation or filling, altering stormwater drainage, or working near boundaries or waterways, building or resource consent may be required. When it comes to outdoor rooms or extensions, especially those that are roofed, enclosed, or attached to the main dwelling, building consent is almost always necessary. Additional approvals may also apply if the project affects site coverage, boundary setbacks, or if the property is in a special zoning area (such as coastal, heritage, or flood-prone zones).

To avoid costly delays or non-compliance, it's important to consult with your local council or engage a licensed professional, like a Zones Landscaping Consultant, who can manage the consent process on your behalf.

New Zealand’s varied climate demands durable, weather-resistant materials for landscaping and outdoor spaces. Hardwoods like Kwila and Vitex offer natural durability but require regular maintenance, while composite decking provides a low-maintenance alternative resistant to rot and fading, especially suitable for coastal areas. For structures, treated pine is cost-effective with proper sealing, and cedar or powder-coated metals offer longevity and resistance to decay or corrosion. Hardscaping materials such as concrete blocks and gabion walls are ideal for stability and drainage. Choosing non-slip, UV-resistant surfaces and fabrics ensures safety and durability across wet and sunny conditions, helping your outdoor space withstand the elements year-round.

Outdoor room trends in New Zealand focus on creating comfortable, year-round living spaces that blend style, sustainability, and technology. Popular features include fully equipped outdoor kitchens, automated louvre roofs, and smart lighting or heating systems for convenience and climate control. Natural, low-maintenance landscaping using native and drought-tolerant plants is also on the rise, along with mixed materials like timber, concrete, and corten steel to create visual interest. Wellness elements such as cold plunge pools, yoga zones, and quiet retreat areas are increasingly popular, while curved, textured furniture adds softness and a more organic feel to outdoor living.
