Locally proven landscape design and planting from Modscape
Plant selection and installation shape how a site looks and performs over time. The wrong species or rushed soil preparation can lead to ongoing maintenance, thin coverage and plants that fail to establish properly.
Modscape develops project-specific planting plans using local knowledge. Practical, low-maintenance species are matched to your siteâs sun, shade, soil and drainage conditions. Ground preparation is completed before planting begins, and installation is planned around the site, whether the work forms part of a new build or is fitted around established features.
Aftercare guidance is provided so you know what to do next. Fixed pricing keeps every inclusion clear from the outset. To learn more about the companyâs background, visit the Modscape About page.

Garden and landscape design for Whanganui and the Lower North Island
Plant selection matched to site conditions and project type
Projects include school gardens, public environments, retirement villages, apartment complexes and high-end residential gardens.
On commercial sites, approved plans and specifications guide every planting zone. Quantities, varieties and layouts are installed to match the drawings, compliance requirements and programme.
Residential projects are based on what has proven to work in Whanganui and the wider Lower North Island. Plant choices are informed by sun, shade, drainage and the level of upkeep you want, with species selected for long-term survival rather than short-term appeal.

Irrigation systems and lawns
Irrigation is recommended where it supports establishment and protects new planting, especially in exposed beds or newly laid turf areas. Automated systems with timers are often used to provide consistent watering and reduce early plant losses during the establishment period.
Instant lawns are installed with careful site levelling and ground preparation, then matched with an irrigation set-up suited to the area. Where hydroseeding or sowing is more practical, the options are assessed against site conditions and project timings.
The chosen method is based on suitability for the job, not trends or default preferences. If your project involves reshaping land or larger groundwork, Excavation & Earthworks are also available as part of our wider offering.

Fixed-price planting contracts with practical aftercare and tidy handover
Planting work is quoted as a fixed-price contract and includes clear itemised inclusions, site preparation, soil conditioning, and tidy clean-up where required.
We provide practical aftercare advice to help plants establish properly, including watering and ongoing maintenance guidance. If minor plant losses occur in a hedge or garden bed, replacement plants can be arranged.
Where larger issues arise, we assess the cause to help prevent ongoing problems and ensure the planting performs as intended. Standard maintenance and workmanship warranties apply as outlined in each contract.
Garden and landscape design is available as a stand-alone service or as part of a wider build. Planning starts with how the space will be used, then covers layout and staging. We can also work from supplied drawings or specifications.

Planting design considers local wind, sun, drainage, soil type and ongoing maintenance expectations. Species are chosen to suit the conditions, provide year-round structure and avoid issues around driveways, services or hardscaping. Where planting sits alongside pavers and concrete driveway work, layout and species are coordinated.
Yes. Low-maintenance planting is achieved through access planning, correct spacing and reliable species selection. Mulch, edging and irrigation are included where they suit the site and the scope. Aftercare steps are explained to support establishment.
Yes. Landscape planting is often incorporated into hardscaping projects to soften paved areas and tie the overall outdoor layout together. Planting can include garden beds, screening, specimen trees, lawn areas and irrigation, with ground preparation and drainage considered alongside the hardscape construction rather than treated as a separate stage.
Where engineering or council consent is required for a retaining wall or structure, coordination can be included in the delivery. The required steps and paperwork are confirmed early so the process stays clear and organised.
