Mark Newdick Landscape Architecture

Te Whare Mara garden, winner of the Residential section at the 2022 NZILA Awards. The garden uses native planting, steel and concrete retaining walls and finely detailed, balustrades, fencing and gates to provide an engaging landscape.

From artful city courtyards to simple family spaces and rural gardens, Mark takes on all kinds of projects.

He works closely with every client to provide tailored, efficient solutions to suit your particular lifestyle, location, priorities and budget.

Mark’s passion for planting design is paired with 25 years of construction experience and a well established network of contractors and allied professionals to suit the needs of any project.

From initial consultations and rough sketches to full design, documentation and project management of consentable property infrastructure, Mark’s flexible design process is well honed to ensure excellence.

Native planting design using ground cover plants to supporess weeds and provide an attractive, multi-layered understory planting. New Zealand Sand Daphne and prostrate fuchsia are used here.

Every project starts with a free on-site or on-line consultation to understand your brief.

We can also work remotely via the internet if budget requires.

Enduring landscapes in any environment

Design that responds to the unique needs of each place and client.

Mark specialises in creating beautiful and comfortable spaces in windy coastal environments. His planting knowlege anables him to ensure the garden looks good all-year-round with minimal maintenance.
Mark's unique hand drawing style communicates the character of the garden and shows how the house is integrated into the landscape. The landscape connects and coordinates all of the separate spaces, buildings and pathways of a property.
