Large-Scale Native Revegetation
Restore native bush and rejuvenate large landscapes with our expert revegetation services. We plan and execute large-scale planting projects using eco-sourced native plants that support local biodiversity and enhance your land’s natural beauty.
Our team handles everything from site planning and species selection to planting and ongoing care, ensuring a high survival rate (we even guarantee 95% survival with our maintenance plans).
Whether reforesting hillsides, creating shelterbelts, or fulfilling resource consent planting requirements, Manawa Landcare delivers results that stand the test of time.
Riparian & Wetland Planting
Protect waterways and restore vital ecosystems with our riparian and wetland planting services. We specialise in planting native vegetation along stream banks, rivers, and wetland areas to reduce erosion and improve water.
By using species suited to damp conditions, we create buffers that filter runoff and provide habitat for wildlife. From Kapiti Coast streams to Horowhenua farm ponds and Northland wetlands, our local knowledge ensures the right plants are used for each site.
The result is healthier waterways, stabilized banks, and thriving wetland ecosystems that benefit your property and community.
Native Plant Supply & Installation
Skip the hassle of sourcing plants – we can supply and install quality native plants for your project. Manawa Landcare sources a wide range of native trees, shrubs, and grasses ideal for Kapiti, Horowhenua, and Northland environments.
Our experts will recommend the best species for your soil and microclimate, ensuring your new plantings will flourish. We take care of everything from delivery to planting, including proper soil preparation and after-care advice.
With our professional installation, you get healthy, eco-sourced native plants placed in the right spots for maximum growth and landscape impact.
Site Preparation (Soil Prep & Weed Control)
Every successful planting or landscaping project starts with thorough site preparation. Our team handles all preparatory work to set your project up for success.
This includes comprehensive weed control (removing invasive species and brush), soil preparation (amending and conditioning soil for optimal plant growth), and installing plant guards if needed to protect young plants from pests or livestock.
We use safe, environmentally conscious methods – our crew is Growsafe-certified for responsible agrichemical use. By clearing the land and improving soil health upfront, we ensure new plantings can take root and thrive without competition or interference.

Keep your property looking its best year-round with our flexible landscape and property maintenance services. We offer both ongoing scheduled maintenance (monthly, seasonal, or tailored plans) and casual one-off services to suit your needs.
Our reliable team handles all general outdoor upkeep: lawn mowing, edging, trimming, garden bed care, hedge pruning, leaf clearing, and more.
With a regular maintenance plan, your Kapiti Coast, Horowhenua or Whangarei property will stay immaculate in every season.

Gardening Services (Weeding, Planting, Pruning, Mulching)
Let us take care of your gardens with our comprehensive gardening services. Manawa Landcare’s green-thumbed experts handle all aspects of garden maintenance to keep your flower beds, shrubs, and trees healthy and attractive.
We do weeding and weed control to keep invasive plants at bay and preserve your garden’s beauty. Our team can help with planting – from adding seasonal color to establishing new native plants that thrive in the local climate.
We also perform pruning and trimming of trees, hedges, and shrubs to promote healthy growth and maintain shape.
To finish, we can apply mulch to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping your garden low-maintenance and lush. Whether it’s a small front-yard garden in Levin or extensive grounds in Whangārei, we’ll ensure it remains tidy, vibrant, and a joy to behold.
Lawn Care Services (Mowing, Edging, Clipping Removal)
Enjoy a perfect, well-kept lawn without lifting a finger. Our lawn care services cover everything needed to make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood. We provide regular lawn mowing with professional equipment, ensuring an even cut and healthy grass growth.
Every mowing service includes neat edging along driveways, paths, and garden beds for a crisp, clean look. We also take care of clipping removal – all grass clippings and yard waste are collected and removed, leaving your property spotless.
Whether you require weekly lawn mowing during the peak growing season or a one-off cut for an overgrown section, our team is prompt, thorough, and attentive to your lawn’s specific needs.
We understand the Kapiti/Horowhenua climate and Whangārei’s conditions, adjusting our mowing frequency and techniques to the season. The result is a lush, green lawn that enhances your property’s curb appeal year-round.
Track & Accessway Maintenance
Maintain safe, clear access on your property with our track and accessway maintenance services. We work on farm tracks, lifestyle block access roads, driveways, and public walkways to keep them navigable and well-maintained.
Our team will cut back overgrown vegetation along track edges, trim low-hanging branches, and clear any invasive scrub encroaching on your pathways.
We can also manage track surfaces, filling potholes or ruts and ensuring proper drainage where required to prevent washouts. From rural driveways in Horowhenua to bush walkways in Northland, we have the equipment and know-how to handle it.
Regular track maintenance not only improves usability but also helps prevent erosion and damage. Trust Manawa Landcare to keep your accessways open and your daily operations running smoothly.
General Property Maintenance & Clean-Ups
Tackle those tough jobs and overgrown sections with our general property maintenance services. If your property has become overrun with weeds, scrub, or accumulated junk, our team will restore order efficiently.
We specialise in scrub cutting and section clearing – removing gorse, blackberry, pampas grass, and thick brush to reclaim your land from the wild. We also handle property clean-ups, from clearing fallen branches and debris to hauling away green waste or old rubbish piles.
Have a big tidy-up before selling a property, or need an estate clean-out? We’ll get it done quickly and responsibly, disposing of waste in the proper facilities. After a thorough Manawa Landcare clean-up, your property will be clean, clear, and ready for the next stage – be it planting, building, or simply enjoying a safe and neat outdoor space.
