Twenty years, same family
Underground Gardening is Nina and Frands' family business and has been since 2005. We are experienced gardeners and we are genuinely passionate about the work, which after twenty years is not a line — it is the reason we are still doing it. Our presence in Auckland is strong, and we have built a loyal customer base of both residential and commercial clients. Most people know us from the logo on the trucks and the little car around the city before they ever ring us.
We said no to the buy-outs
Plenty of the big outfits have offered to buy us over the years and we have said no every time. It matters more than it sounds: when you ring Underground Gardening you get the people who will be in your garden, not a call centre booking a franchisee. Some of our clients have been with us the whole twenty years, and that only happens if the same people keep turning up.
Our commitment
We are reliable and we deliver exactly what we say we will, to the garden plan we agreed. We believe in working with you to get the garden you actually want rather than the one that was easiest to build. And we do not say no — if it is in the garden and it needs doing, we will either do it or bring in the trusted partner who can.

“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.”

“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.”
