Hardscaping Services in Auckland

Hardscaping refers to the solid, built elements of an outdoor space. This can include paving, patios, pathways, retaining walls, decks, fences, pergolas, edging, steps and artificial turf. These features help shape the structure, access and usability of your outdoor area.

Scapex Outdoors can help with a range of hardscaping projects, including paving, patios, pathways, retaining walls, decking, fencing, pergolas, outdoor edging, artificial turf and general outdoor improvements. We can work with you to create a practical, tidy and usable outdoor space that suits your property and lifestyle.

A retaining wall may be needed if you have sloping ground, soil movement, an uneven section, drainage issues or an area that needs to be levelled for better use. Retaining walls can help create usable garden areas, support changes in ground level and improve the overall structure of your outdoor space.

Some retaining walls may need building consent, depending on their height, location and what they are supporting. In New Zealand, a retaining wall generally does not need building consent if it retains no more than 1.5 metres of ground and does not support any extra load, such as a driveway, parking area, building, swimming pool, another retaining wall or steep/sloping ground above it. It is always best to check before starting work.

The timeframe depends on the size of the job, site access, materials, weather and whether any preparation or drainage work is required. Smaller jobs may only take a short time, while larger projects such as retaining walls, decks or paving areas may take longer. We can give you a clearer timeframe after viewing the site.

The easiest way is to contact Scapex Outdoors and arrange a site visit. We can look at the area, talk through what you want to achieve, check access and site conditions, then provide a quote based on the work required.
