Landscape Ground Preparation

At Bay Garden Care we provide professional landscape ground preparation and light construction services, designed specifically for the unique conditions of Hawke’s Bay.
Our Services Include:

  • Soil Preparation – Healthy landscapes begin with properly conditioned soil. We assess and prepare your soil to suit your planting plans, taking into account Hawke’s Bay’s dry summers and occasional drought conditions, which gives your plants the best chance to thrive.
  • Compact Machinery & Digger Work – With access to tight spaces and efficient equipment, we carry out small-scale groundwork with precision, ideal for urban gardens, lifestyle blocks, or uneven rural sections.
  • Light Landscaping Construction – We build practical and attractive features, such as raised garden beds, edging, gravel paths, and other low-impact structures, that complement your landscape design and withstand Hawke’s Bay’s climate.

Design

At Bay Garden Care, we pride ourselves on designing gardens that truly reflect the individual needs, lifestyles, and tastes of each client. We believe that every outdoor space should feel like a natural extension of your home, both in style and in function.

Our process begins with listening. We take the time to understand how you live, how you want to use your garden, and what inspires you. Whether you’re looking for a place where the kids can safely run and play, a peaceful retreat to relax, or a vibrant space for entertaining family and friends, we shape each design to suit your unique lifestyle.

With a focus on detail and flow, our landscape designs are thoughtfully crafted to enhance your home’s surroundings while encouraging you to make the most of your outdoor space.
We work collaboratively with you throughout the process, ensuring your vision is not only heard but brought to life in a way that’s practical, enduring, and tailored to you.

Planting

Bay Garden Care is known for designing, installing and maintaining residential and commercial properties. From large-scale mass planting to restoring waterways, banks, and lifestyle blocks, we work with the land—not against it.

Every project starts with a deep understanding of each individual site. Whether you’re looking to replant a tricky slope, add some greenery to a commercial space, or restore a waterway, we’ll work with you to get the right plants in the right places.

Depending on the job, we might use:

  • Staking newly planted trees that need support while they mature.
  • Mulch to help lock in moisture, keep weeds down, and improve the soil over time.
  • Fertiliser or compost to encourage plant growth.
  • Plant guards to protect from wind, frost, or animals—especially on open or rural sites.
  • Weed mat in areas where ongoing maintenance is required.

Maintenance

Maintaining a garden is just as important as creating it. With Bay Garden Care, we offer flexible maintenance plans to suit your garden and your lifestyle — whether that’s weekly visits, monthly check-ins, or something in between. Whatever your garden needs to stay healthy and looking great year-round, we’ll work with you to make it happen. It’s all about taking the stress off your plate so you can enjoy your outdoor space without the hard work.

As part of a maintenance visit we offer general maintenance plans or customised to suit the client which may include:

  • Weed Control
  • Spray Programmes
  • Feeding Programmes
  • Plant Hygiene
  • Pruning and Trimming
  • Transplanting and Planting
  • Removal of Plants
