For more than 30 years, Auckland-based Humphreys Landscaping has developed a reputation for delivering exceptional service in the design, construction and maintenance of gardens and pools.

As a well-established name in landscaping design and maintenance in New Zealand, Humphreys Landscaping channels more than three decades of experience into crafting beautiful gardenscapes. But not just gardens: the company now also has full pool design and build capabilities, further extending its comprehensive and signature quality services and boosting its already impressive portfolio.

Whether a client is seeking a stand-out garden or sublime pool, or both, Humphreys design manager Jeremy Cole says the design process for every project starts with a classic, timeless approach. According to Cole, it’s this strategy that is critical to achieving quality and authentic outcomes in collaboration with industry professionals.

In Auckland’s Herne Bay, the Herne House III project manifests as an elegant demonstration of Humphreys’ offering. With a brief focused on creating an inner-city oasis, the landscaping strategy is carefully curated around established coastal vegetation with a diverse distribution of subtropical trees and lush, low planting. The result of a context-driven concept skilfully applied to a challenging site makes for a verdant, peaceful and award-winning garden retreat.

As registered Master Landscapers, the company has both the skills and knowledge imperative in working with architects, designers and builders to understand the constraints and requirements of complex design-and-build projects. In support of this essential accreditation, Humphreys provides a service structured around seamless and direct communication with professionals by way of a single point of contact for every project to ensure continuity.

“We know the importance of quality, both in customer service and the projects we deliver,” says Scott Humphreys, the company’s founder. At the heart of Humphreys’ work is the experience for the end user throughout the design, delivery and ongoing legacy services. An impressive array of awards attests to the company’s work ethic, the strong relationships and the experience that underpins every Humphreys project.

Robust maintenance strategies are developed by the garden makers as a crucial aspect of valuable client relationships; any project completed by Humphreys has curated support to maintain gardens, lawns and pools. It is the company’s belief that a garden and pool is most successful when it looks as if it has always existed as part of the landscape, and a Humphreys maintenance strategy is underpinned by the tacit knowledge of the company’s interdisciplinary team.

Having several decades of successful project outcomes across Auckland’s residential gardens, the locally owned company is a design practice committed to a full-service experience concerned only with the best outcomes for clients and projects. Offering a comprehensive design, construction and maintenance service for gardens and pools, Humphreys Landscaping is synonymous with luxury gardenscapes.
