How it works

Premium design,
without the office visit.
LushLandscapes.nz is a one-stop online portal for professional landscape design. Choose a package, share your space with us, and receive beautiful, construction-ready plans — all from the comfort of home.
Online is just how we work together. You send photos and measurements, and we talk it through on a video call or in person — whichever's easier. The design itself is done the way it always has been: by a designer, drawing your garden, choosing every plant by name. No AI, no templates, no plan pulled off a shelf.
We've worked on gardens all over New Zealand — town sections, lifestyle blocks and commercial sites — so where you live makes no difference to what you get.
Four steps
Send us what you've got.
Photos of the garden, a baseplan, your house plans, an old survey, measurements scribbled on the back of something — anything that helps us understand the space. We'll work with whatever you have.

Why planting design
Plants are our favourite part.
And they're usually the bit that gets rushed.
So that's where we start. You get three drawings: the planting plan showing what goes where, the schedule listing every species with quantities and pot sizes, and a planting palette so you can see each plant before it goes in the ground.
Your contractor or garden centre can order straight off the schedule. And we choose the plants for your conditions — your soil, your sun, your wind — not from a catalogue.

Jonathan took our plain bare backyard and designed & built a great family space with raised beds, contrast hedging and more which turned our back yard into a wonderful family space. Amazing result — highly recommended.Duncan
