Auckland landscaping company
Small business care, big business networks.
As an Auckland landscaping company, we sit somewhere most do not. Small enough that the same family runs the consult and the final walk-through. Networked enough to take on full-property builds, commercial grounds contracts and high-end residential gardens. The clients who come back to us tell us they should not have to choose between care and capability.

We are landscape gardeners Auckland homeowners have trusted with their best properties for 17 years. Plant choices that suit your soil and aspect. Construction details that hold up to twenty Auckland winters. The attention to detail that turns a brief into a centrepiece.
Our story
How we work
Pop round, design, build, look after.
Most Auckland landscaping projects involve at least three trades. ForknHoe does all four ourselves, so the garden you start with us is the garden we are still caring for years later.

Family-run team
Landscape designer in Auckland
Collaborating to make your dream garden a reality.
Founder Cherie Newport-Mackenzie puts it like this: the best outdoor designs come from collaboration between us and our clients. Their needs and creativity, honed by our experience and expertise, creates results we can both be proud of.
01
Pop round.
We pop round, assess the site and discuss the project with you. A free on-site visit, no estimating off photos.
02
Design.
We work with you to design your dream garden. Concept plans, planting plans, lighting and irrigation, council consents where needed.
03
Build.
We show up and get the job done. Hardscape and softscape installed by qualified landscape contractors who handle drainage and sub-base properly.
04
Look after.
We keep your garden looking its best. From one-off cleanups to weekly visits, the team that built it is the team that maintains it.

Auckland landscapers
Transforming sections into the centrepiece of your property.
Auckland landscapers have built a lot of competent gardens. We are after something else. One of our clients put it best: “They really made my garden become the centrepiece of my property. I still get guests who ‘wow’ and comment about our garden.” That is the bar. Transformation, not maintenance.
What our clients say
In their words.
4.9 ★★★★★ Real words from Auckland homeowners and commercial clients we have worked with across the last seventeen years.

Residential client
West Auckland
★★★★★
Cherie and the team handled our full property, design through to planting, without us chasing anyone. Turned up when they said, did what they quoted, and the garden is still going strong years on.

★★★★★
We have used ForknHoe across three commercial sites now. Reporting is straight, invoicing is clean, and the grounds always look the part. Easy to recommend to other body-corp committees.

Residential and commercial
One team, both sides.
Roughly half our work is residential: Auckland homeowners with backyards, courtyards, pool surrounds, lifestyle blocks or full new builds. The other half is commercial: body corporates, property managers, retail sites, schools and offices that need reliable grounds care or full landscape installations. Same family, same standards, scaled to suit.

Begin a project
Make your dream garden
a reality.
Tell us what you want, where you are, and roughly what you are working with budget-wise. We will pop round, assess the site, and send a written quote within a few days. No pressure, no hard sell, no charge for the visit.
The difference
The ForknHoe difference shows up three summers later.
Anyone can make a garden look good for the photos. The question is whether it still looks good, and still drains, still holds, still thrives, once a few West Auckland winters have been through it.
The cheap quote
Typical
- Topsoil over clay, plants drown by winter two
- Retaining built without engineering or drainage
- Cheapest plants, wrong for the aspect
- Different crew every visit, no accountability
- “Extras” appear once the job is underway
- Gone the moment the invoice clears
The ForknHoe way
Our way
- Soil prep and drainage sorted before a single plant
- Engineered, consented retaining that holds the slope
- Right plant, right place, chosen for your aspect
- Same family crew, start to finish
- Itemised fixed quote, the price is the price
- We maintain what we build, for years
