“Job completed on time and the garden is looking immaculate. This is a very friendly family business where your garden gets real gardeners who know plants and what they need. They were also competitive with their rates. A great professional job. We will continue to use them for our Lane.”
“So easy to work with, from planning to completion. Nina and Frands and their team were amazing to work with and their professional knowledge, ideas and work were all very comprehensive and professional. They really understood what we were after and delivered exactly what we were after. We are loving our new landscape!”
“They took out several large trees and plants, cleared all weeds and debris, and smashed out a big job efficiently over two days. Everything was removed, and the yard was left cleaner than before they started. Easy to deal with, clear communication, and top-quality work.”
“Underground Gardening have been maintaining my garden for 5 years. From assisting with landscaping design and planting, to building daybeds and fences. Highly recommend them.”
“I have had Underground Gardening do work at my house a few times. They have not only done amazing work on my gardens but also cleaned and painted my fences and decks and wash my houses. They also took all garden waste away as well as inorganic. I highly recommend them. They always left my property immaculate.”
“Nina is passionate about what she does and wants to help create your vision for your outdoor space, she is so knowledgeable. I have found Nina and her team great to deal with and she makes everything so easy. I highly recommend Underground Gardening.”

More about us →Common questions
Anything else, just ask — you'll get a straight answer.
How does hourly maintenance billing work?
Gardens are seasonal, with garden maintenance in Auckland needed more in certain months. Instead of a fixed quote, we charge by the hour, so you only ever pay for the work we actually do. Most clients find it works out cheaper.
Do you do both residential and commercial work?
Yes. Most of our work is for residential gardening in Auckland for homeowners and rental-property owners. However, we also look after commercial grounds and larger sites on a regular schedule, including mowing. Talk to us about your site to see how we can help.
Do you offer full gardening and landscaping services?
Yes! We provide gardening and landscaping services Auckland-wide, from one-off tidy-ups to full property landscape builds. If you want to hire a gardener Aucklanders trust for a big project or ongoing care, we're a single point of contact for the entire job.
Do you lay new lawns?
Yes. We supply and lay new ready lawn, including the ground prep, levelling and finishing underneath, which is the part that decides whether a lawn lasts. We don't run standalone lawn-mowing rounds; we mow on request as part of a garden maintenance visit, and on commercial sites.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Three Kings and work Auckland-wide. We provide our gardening services in Central Auckland, South Auckland, West Auckland, and East Auckland. Whether you're based near our Three Kings location, or you're after West Auckland gardening services for a property in Henderson, you can count on Underground Gardening.
Can you build decks, fences, and other structures?
We handle all the soft landscaping ourselves, and our trusted builder partner handles structural work, including decks, fences, and retaining walls. One point of contact, the whole job sorted.
