Sue & Colin McLean have been designing and installing gardens for a wide range of city and rural clients since 1988.

Their business is a small collaborative practice dedicated to offering an attentive and personal commitment to every project, be it an inner city courtyard, expansive residential garden or rural lifestyle development.

“We bring vision, passion, and sensitivity to the process of achieving our clients’ dreams and needs.

From swimming pools and water features, stone, decorative tiling and sculpture to the final flourish of lawns and distinctive, lush planting, we guarantee a seamless result. We have a depth of experience in designing, managing consents and project managing the building of all the elements which combine to ensure that each garden is a unique sanctuary.

Whether they imitate nature on exposed sites, soothe the spirit in city courtyards or stimulate the senses in large family properties, our gardens are loved and enduring.”

Projects have been featured on television and regularly appear in garden and architectural design publications including the recently published ‘Contemporary Gardens of New Zealand’. Creation NZ is an accredited member of Landscaping NZ and has won Gold at the Ellerslie International Flower Show where Sue has subsequently judged. She is a past chairperson of the Garden Design Society of NZ.
