Most failed lawns fail underneath. Poor drainage, compacted ground, the wrong soil, or seed sown at the wrong time of year. None of that can be fixed once the lawn is down.
Garden Buds prepares the ground first, then lays the surface that suits your site, your budget and how you want to use the space.
What we install
Seed lawns
Cost-effective and hard-wearing, sown with a mix suited to your soil and sun aspect.
Wool blanket seeding
Seed held in a biodegradable wool mat that protects it from birds and wind and holds moisture while it establishes.
Ready lawn
Instant turf laid over prepared ground when you need a finished result straight away.
Hydroseeding
Fast, even coverage for large areas and difficult slopes.
Topsoil and preparation
Levelling, drainage, topsoil and site prep, with our own excavator on site.

Preparation decides the result
We assess drainage, levels, soil and sun aspect before we give you a price.
Where the ground needs work, we do the work rather than laying turf over a problem.
It costs a little more at the start and it is the reason our lawns still look good three summers later.
Keeping it looking good
We also mow. Ride on mowing for larger sections, plus edging, feeding and seasonal care, as a one-off or on a regular schedule.

FAQ
What areas do you cover?
Nelson, Richmond, Stoke, Atawhai, Tahunanui, Wakefield, Mapua and Ruby Bay. We travel further for the right project. If you are nearby and not sure, just call and we will let you know.
What happens at the free on-site visit?
We come to you, assess soil, levels, drainage and sun aspect, then come back with a clear approach and a pricing estimate. For landscaping, we include a design idea so you can see what is possible before committing. No obligation.
Do you do one-off tidy-ups or only regular maintenance?
Both. Some clients want scheduled visits, others just need a one-off clean-up, pre-sale gardening, or end-of-tenancy tidy. We will recommend a schedule that suits your garden. Some need frequent visits, some do not.
Can you help with just planting, not construction?
Yes. We handle native planting, bank and slope stabilisation, residential planting and large-scale revegetation.
What qualifications does your team have?
Shadi trained in Horticulture through Wintec and has papers in Landscape Design. Our staff hold BCITO training, are first aid trained and have GrowSafe certification.
