How much does a backyard makeover cost in Auckland?

Costs vary depending on scope, from a simple planting and paving refresh through to a full design with decking, retaining walls and pool landscaping. After a free consultation we provide a fixed-price proposal, so you know the full cost before work begins, with no surprises once the build starts.

Do you build the pool itself?

No. We partner with trusted Auckland pool companies who build the pool shell, while Urbanscapes designs and constructs everything around it, including decking, paving, fencing, planting and outdoor living areas. Because we're involved from the design stage, the pool and landscaping are planned as one project.

How long does a full backyard makeover take?

Timelines depend on the scope of work, but most full backyard makeovers take a few weeks to a few months from the start of construction. We agree a schedule with you at the proposal stage and work to it, so you know what to expect before the build begins.

Do you do landscaping for new builds and multi-unit developments?

Yes. We work directly with builders, developers and homeowners on landscaping for new-build homes, townhouses and multi-unit developments across Auckland, from bare-earth sections through to full common-area landscaping, scoped to fit build schedules and settlement deadlines.

What areas does Urbanscapes service?

We're based in the East Coast Bays on Auckland's North Shore and work across the wider Auckland region, including full backyard makeovers for homeowners and landscaping for new-build and multi-unit developments throughout the city.

What's the process for getting a quote?

It starts with a free consultation to discuss your project, followed by a fixed-price design and proposal so you know the full cost upfront. Once you approve it, we move to scheduling and planning, then build and deliver, on time and on budget.

Stone, Timber & Turf - Hauraki

stone, timber & turf - Hauraki

A striking hardscaping project for our friends at Sculpt Gardens. The front yard was given a bold new stone feature wall, paired with warm timber accents at the entrance for a modern, welcoming feel. Bluestone paving ties the space together, while fresh planting and lush artificial turf soften the landscape — creating a front yard that's low-maintenance without compromising on street appeal. An amazing Design by Sculpt Gardens.
