Expert native garden design by A&E Contracting & Pumping. NZ native planting, bird-attracting gardens, and sustainable landscaping for North Shore, Rodney, and Auckland.
There's something special about a native garden. The way tūī and kererū visit for nectar, the rustle of flaxes in the breeze, the fresh green of fern fronds unfurling — a native garden connects you to New Zealand's landscape in a way exotic planting simply can't.
At A&E Contracting & Pumping, we're passionate about native gardens. They're not only beautiful and uniquely Kiwi — they're also incredibly practical. Native plants are adapted to Auckland's climate, need less water once established, require minimal fertiliser, and support local bird and insect life.
From small urban courtyards to large lifestyle blocks, we design native gardens that suit your space, style, and maintenance preferences. Mix in flowering natives for year-round colour, specimen trees for shade and structure, or keep it simple with a low-maintenance coastal native palette.
