At Root & Rise, gardens are cared for with intention, expertise, and deep respect for the natural world. Our work goes beyond routine maintenance — it’s about cultivating refined, resilient outdoor spaces while honouring the responsibility we share as thoughtful stewards of the land.
With over a decade of professional horticultural experience and a lifetime spent learning from plants and place, Root & Rise provides tailored, year-round garden maintenance suited to the unique conditions of Nelson and Tasman gardens. My approach is highly considered and detail-driven, with a particular strength in the care of complex, layered, and high-end gardens where precision, structure, and long-term plant health truly matter.
From encouraging strong, healthy growth through the warmer months to maintaining balance, structure, and resilience in winter, I support gardens through every season so they can thrive from the roots up.
Services include, but are not limited to:

• Thoughtful weeding and precision pruning

• Lawn care with clean, defined edging

• Hedge trimming, shaping, and topiary maintenance

• Seasonal planting and garden bed preparation

If you have a specific need or a vision you’d like to bring to life, I’d love to hear from you. Root & Rise is built on care, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for horticulture — and I’m always happy to take on a challenge or help realise something a little special.
Let the pressure of garden care fall away, and enjoy a space that feels alive, balanced, and beautifully your own.
