At Canopy, we like to get a sense of fulfilment from our jobs. This happens when clients feel passionately about what they are trying to create. It is our job to listen to turn ideas and visions into something real, contributing with the knowledge of all things landscape that we have learned through the years.

That’s why our catch-phrase is “creating exceptional spaces”. There are many layers of depth to landscape architecture. From creating the picturesque, the formal and functional through to enriching the ecology of the land and providing better connections. There is also aiding in interpretation of cultural landscape and creating memorable spaces that may become culturally significant.

Our aim at Canopy is to add as much depth and meaning to the landscape and given the opportunity, that is what we will do.

A multidisciplinary team of highly qualified, talented people that specialise in designing landscapes. 

The canopy team is a collection of very experienced landscape architects and urban space designers. We have a broad range of expertise gained through extensive national and international experience and are currently working on projects throughout New Zealand.

We are a vibrant company utilising the latest technologies to achieve the best result for all projects. Attention to cultural, biological and environmental layers ensures that the spaces we create are exceptional and memorable.
Our extensive experience has given us the knowledge and expertise to take your project from conception to completion within your preferred budget and time constraints.
