What areas do you service? 

Zones Landscaping Service the wider Bay Of Plenty Region including, Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Papamoa.

What are the current planting ideas in Tauranga?

With the beautiful Bay of Plenty climate to enjoy, many homeowners are focusing on creating stunning sub-tropical gardens. This lush look provides a beautiful haven and is surprisingly low maintenance – and bird friendly.

We’re seeing a huge increase in families wanting to establish raised garden beds for growing their own produce. A well-planned design in the early stages means that these beds and accompanying paths, archways, and pergolas are both functional and attractive. And don’t overlook a seat in the shade for the gardener!

For those with busy lifestyles we can tailor solutions that are easy care while still being aesthetically pleasing. Think hardy shrubs and evergreen plants, large pots, and minimal lawn.

Whether you have a clear vision or need guidance, we can work through design and planting solutions for your unique situation.

How to design a backyard landscape

Define Your Goals and Needs:

  • Start by determining your objectives. Do you want a space for relaxation, entertaining, gardening, or a combination of these?
  • Identify any specific needs or challenges, such as privacy concerns, drainage issues, or pets.

Assess Your Site:

  • Examine your backyard's current condition, including soil quality, sunlight, and existing plants or structures.
  • Take note of any natural features, like trees or slopes, that could influence your design.

Create a Rough Sketch:

  • Sketch a rough layout of your backyard on paper. This doesn't need to be detailed but should include major elements like the house, property lines, and any fixed features.
  • Identify the key elements you want to incorporate, such as a patio, deck, garden beds, lawn area, pathways, seating, lighting, and water features.

Determine Your Style:

  • Decide on the overall style or theme you want for your backyard. Styles can range from formal and structured to informal and naturalistic.

Seek Professional Help:

  • The outcome of your backyard landscape design is greatly influenced by the unique characteristics of your outdoor space and your specific goals. To ensure that your vision is realized in the most effective and tailored manner, it's highly advisable to engage in a conversation with your local landscaping consultant. Get in touch here!

How much does planting a new landscape cost in Tauranga?

The cost for new landscape design and planting varies depending on the size and scope of your project. The Zones website is a great resource for showing what is achievable within different budgets. This artfully designed front garden transformation in Papamoa for example was completed in June 2022 at a cost of $35,000*. It included imported railway sleepers and bespoke laser cut steel screens. In November 2020 this subtropical garden oasis, also in Papamoa, was a complete garden transformation achieved for $60,000*.

Landscape design tips

Choose Appropriate Plants: Select plants that thrive in your climate and soil conditions. Choose a variety of plants for different seasons to keep your landscape vibrant year-round.

Use Color and Texture: Experiment with color and texture to create visual appeal. Combining different foliage colors and textures can add depth and dimension to your landscape.

Think About Maintenance: Plan for the level of maintenance you're willing to commit to. Low-maintenance designs can be achieved with native plants and efficient irrigation systems.

Incorporate Hardscaping: Features like patios, decks, walkways, and retaining walls can enhance your landscape's functionality and aesthetics. Choose materials that complement your home's architecture.

Lighting Matters: Outdoor lighting can extend the use of your outdoor space into the evening and create a magical ambiance. Consider highlighting architectural features, pathways, and outdoor seating areas.
