A garden cared for by Marko and the Ponsonby Gardens team

"Marko and his team are awesome. Just really down to earth, straight-up good vibes, friction free and easy to deal with. Not greedy either. If you want some humanity as part of the deal, these are your people. I can see how deeply they care about what they do. Highly recommended."

Marko and his team tidied my Mother's garden, which had become extremely overgrown. They did an amazing job, they understood the design of the garden and appreciated how far to take the trimming. They will now continue to maintain her garden and I highly recommend this team.

Questions Auckland gardeners ask

Still wondering about something? Just get in touch and we will happily talk it through.

How much does garden maintenance cost in Auckland?

It depends on the size of your garden and what is needed. We give free quotes after a site visit, so you get an accurate price for your situation, not a generic estimate. Call or email to arrange a visit.

Do you serve my suburb?

We cover central Auckland (Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Parnell, Mount Eden and more), central east suburbs (Remuera, Mission Bay, Kohimarama, Meadowbank and more), and central west suburbs (Mount Albert, Avondale, Western Springs and more). If you are unsure, just get in touch.

How do I get a quote?

The easiest way is to fill in our quote request form, or call Marko directly on 0274225235. We offer free quotes and garden consultations, with no obligation and no pressure.

Are you genuinely eco-friendly?

Yes, genuinely. We use organic fertilisers, sustainably sourced mulches and composts, and battery-operated, low-noise garden equipment. We avoid harsh chemicals wherever possible and work with the natural health of your soil and plants.

Do you do one-off jobs or only regular maintenance?

Both. We are happy to do a one-off tidy-up, a garden makeover, or set up a regular monthly maintenance plan, whatever suits you best.

Are you currently hiring?

Yes. We are growing the team heading into peak season and looking for Landscapers, Gardeners and operations support who share our values: a genuine love of the work, care for clients, and respect for the environment. Visit our Careers page to find out more and send an expression of interest.
