Based in Takapuna, Auckland, we design gardens across the Shore, Central Auckland, and beyond. With over a thousand unique landscapes created, we bring a thoughtful, practical approach to outdoor design.
Our distinctly feminine perspective balances beauty with function, creating spaces that complement your home and enhance everyday life. Whether it's a lush retreat, a family-friendly haven, or a biodiverse garden buzzing with life, we design with purpose and passion.
A well-designed garden isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating a space that invites you to relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.

"I met Claire a while back to design my own garden as I had no experience of where to start. She immediately drew up plans, idea options and which plants go where! Seven years later it’s just beautiful and worth every penny as an investment in my home. I work in real estate and refer Sculpt Gardens as my go to team - with ideas of getting a garden ready for market or the bigger projects when buyers move in. They are super efficient, direct, helpful, and I would highly recommend them with creating your dream exterior!!"
