LANDSCAPES WITH A DIFFERENCE

About

Over 20 years experience with hard and soft landscaping and garden maintenance. Our objective is to create gardens that are both aesthetic and practical, a pleasure to be in, with the correctly apportioned space for both comfort and movement.

We are able to construct any individual element of the landscape through to the full comprehensive service involving all aspects of the outdoor environment.

Our Philosophy

The fundamental principle behind the establishment of Academy Landscapes has been to produce well constructed, yet aesthetically pleasing gardens, tailored to the needs of our clients, and within an agreed budget.

Over 20 years of experience have taught me that to enjoy your garden to its fullest potential it is essential for clients to participate in the design process as much as possible, and this is why we also utilise the skills and experience of some of the best garden designers in Auckland to ensure that the garden you end up with reflects your vision or helps to create it for you.

We are a quality based company that will always endeavour to produce gardens of high quality, paying particular attention to the details while not losing sight of the big picture. This ensures that your garden will maintain the form it was originally constructed with, while ageing gracefully while the plants grow to fill the space as intended.

We only use skilled sub contractors who are also reliable, agreeable, and able to communicate well, so that you are always informed about what is happening, and that any potential issues are identified and resolved as soon as possible. This also allows us to offer the fullest possible range of landscape and garden services with one point of contact, thus ensuring a well coordinated and efficient process.

Before & After

What Our Clients Say

“We gave Tony Conlon from Academy Landscapes the job to build us a courtyard garden for our 100 year old double brick town house.

Tony was able to help us with refining the plans we had – adding some detail and removing others so the space could be best utilised and the design integrity retained.

Thorough planning and preparation combined with good attention to detail in construction resulted in an outcome that we were very happy with. Tony managed to deliver a garden that exceeded out expectations.

He is an excellent communicator and we found that refreshing after meetings with a number of other landscape gardeners.

He delivers what he promised and is honest, reliable and pleasant to deal with. He made the process an exciting and rewarding one.”

P Kember

“I am writing to let you know how much we appreciate the timber boardwalk and steps you recently completed on our property.

We had only a basic idea of what we wanted but thanks to your willingness and ability to think outside the box, you were able to design an exciting and unique solution to suit our needs.

During the weeks of construction we saw you demonstrate a strong technical capability and a true attention to detail. We found your approach to our requirements to be innovative and your conduct on site to be reliable, professional and personable.

As a result of your design and labour, our garden has been transformed from a steep terraced garden with a bark path prone to weeds and difficult to walk on, to a natural walkway which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. What was once an unusable space, an eyesore and an embarrassment has become a feature of our property and an integral part of our outdoor living space.

We have already recommenced your services to friends and will continue to do so.“

C Bennett

“Over several years, Tony has built me two robust fences, paved the garden yard and laid concrete driveways and new lawns. I’ve found his advice on the best way to get the results we wanted well informed and helpful. Tony pays attention to quality and getting details right, and I’ve found him to be reliable, trustworthy and competitively priced contractor.

I am happy to recommend him to anyone wanting good advice, quality and tidy workmanship, and good value.”

J Pearce

“We chose to go with Tony from Academy Landscapes because when he come to our house for the quote he listened to what we wanted to achieve with our back yard. He was able to use his experience to make some really practical suggestions for creating the kind of area that we were hoping for. Throughout the process Tony was always friendly and professional, giving us updates on where everything was at, checking with us at all stages of the project, or whatever changes needed to be made, which we really appreciated.

The final product – three different fences, a new lawn and a back deck – is more than we expected. Meticulously completed, they look amazing and totally fit the bill for what we wanted – to allow us to make more us of the back of our section, and to create family friendly areas for our daughter and her friends to play in. We love how the fences and deck have changed the feel of our property, and the care and attention that Tony & Dave put into the work really shows. We’re very pleased with our new back yard and would be more than happy to recommend Academy Landscapes to anyone.”
