Hear How We’re Supporting Better Landscaping in New Zealand
Our Chairperson, Janet Clarke, was recently featured on the Trends Property Insight Series podcast, sharing how Registered Master Landscapers supports quality, trust and professionalism across New Zealand’s landscaping industry.
In this episode, Janet speaks with host Andrew Johnson about why great landscaping is about much more than planting, paving or presentation. It is about thoughtful design, skilled construction, clear communication and creating outdoor spaces that genuinely support the way people live.
As Chairperson of Registered Master Landscapers and Director of Auckland landscaping company Second Nature, Janet brings a valuable perspective from both the homeowner and professional sides of the process.
The conversation explores why accreditation matters, how homeowners can choose a trusted landscaper, and how professional landscaping brings together design, planting, construction knowledge, contracts, health and safety, insurance, maintenance and long-term care.
Janet also shares practical advice for homeowners preparing to sell, renovating to stay, or wanting to make better use of their outdoor spaces, including first impressions, seasonal planning, sustainability, maintenance, wellbeing and property value.
