ABOUT US
Based in Christchurch and catering to clients nationwide, Patio's experience spans 20 years of landscape design - from city gardens to lifestyle blocks, retirement villages to resort developments.
Our past projects range from alpine to coastal landscapes, including design of intimate courtyards, streetscaping, parks and reserves. With our love of plants, we combine native and exotic species in our planting schemes, designed in formal and naturalistic compositions.
We take a considered approach to the context of our designs - the surrounding environment and site conditions, the brief’s purpose and effect. Focusing on simplicity and consistency of theme; the scale and proportion of material selection and layout, layering of forms, colour and textures, the use of focal points, transitions and unfolding of garden spaces - creating a sense of discovery and enjoyment to the garden experience.

Garden Consultations
We offer an hourly consultation service that includes an on-site visit to your property to discuss garden design ideas and planning, with all recommendations documented for reference.
Residential Landscape Design
Our complete garden design service begins with an initial consultation to establish your brief, followed by an in‑depth site visit to measure and evaluate existing site characteristics.
We then produce a tailored concept plan based on the brief, including layout of paving and garden beds, preliminary construction ideas, feature elements, and curated planting recommendations.
If required, additional detailed construction drawings and a scaled, planting plan with schedule can be produced.
Commercial Landscapes
We produce detailed landscape concepts and planting plans for a wide range of commercial projects, including those requiring resource consent.
Our expertise covers multi‑unit residential developments, retail complexes, roading infrastructure, and subdivision environments.
Furniture Design & Custom Screens
We design and locally manufacture high‑quality custom planters, furniture, and screens for residential and commercial use. Each piece is locally manufactured to a high standard using materials such as concrete, timber, aluminium, and steel.
