Privacy Screens & Planting in Auckland Central

Auckland homes are often close to neighbours, and outdoor living areas can feel exposed without the right design. The solution? Privacy screens and strategic planting that give you comfort, seclusion, and style.

At Zones Landscaping Auckland Central, we design and build custom privacy solutions that transform open backyards into private sanctuaries. Whether it’s a modern timber screen, a green wall of lush hedging, or a mix of both, our team ensures your outdoor space is practical and beautiful.

Custom Privacy Screens

Privacy screens are a stylish and versatile way to create separation between spaces. They can be used to shield patios, decks, pools, or spa areas while still complementing your overall landscaping design.

Popular options include:

• Timber screens for warmth and natural appeal, see this project where we built a Lush Spa Retreat in St. Heliers, Auckland
• Aluminium or composite panels for durability and modern design
• Decorative screens with cut-out patterns for a design statement
• Integrated lighting to add function and ambience at night

Screens can be built as stand-alone features or seamlessly connected with pergolas, fencing, or outdoor rooms. Discover this Xeriscape Landscaping for Outdoor Living in Remuera, Auckland.

Privacy Planting Solutions

Greenery not only softens the look of a garden but also provides natural screening. Our Auckland Central team carefully selects plants that thrive in local conditions while providing year-round coverage.

Common choices include:

• Hedges (e.g. pittosporum, camellia, griselinia) for structured privacy
• Bamboo for fast-growing, lush screening
• Tall grasses for a softer, layered effect
• Vertical gardens for compact spaces

Planting solutions are designed with maintenance levels, growth rate, and aesthetics in mind, ensuring your outdoor privacy improves as your garden matures.

Combining Screens & Planting

Often, the best results come from blending screens with planting. For example:

• A timber screen paired with tall hedging for depth, see this project that created a private garden in Point Chevalier
• A decorative aluminium panel softened with climbing vines
• A row of grasses in front of a solid wall for contrast

This layered approach gives both instant privacy and a natural, evolving landscape.
