Ongoing garden maintenance for private Auckland gardens

A plan is different from a checklist. A checklist will do the basics. A plan ensures a garden grows and develops with intent. That gaps are filled, that seasons are felt, and plants are understood. A plan is the basis of good garden care, someone who can work from it is where the magic happens.

What a Red Haven Gardencare plan includes

Every plan is written for the individual garden, but most include:

  • Seasonal pruning, shaping and deadheading appropriate to each species

  • Bed maintenance - weeding, mulching, edging, soil condition

  • Hedge and topiary work

  • Planting, transplanting and succession planting

  • Feeding and plant health monitoring

  • Seasonal preparation, before and after the hard months

  • Green waste removal

    How involved you want to be

    Some clients want the garden handled entirely; they want a sanctuary they can simply walk into and enjoy. Others garden themselves and want us for the specialist work, the heavy work, or the fortnight they're away. Red Haven works around your appetite for the garden. Tell us which you are and we'll build the plan around it.
