One Square Rate

At One Square Rate, our motto “Making Every Metre Count” reflects everything we do — with precision, purpose, and a passion for landscapes that enrich both people and property. Founded in 2010 by Karl Odell and Gareth Scarlett, we’re proud to be a Christchurch-based landscaping company offering end-to-end solutions from design through to construction.

Our work is guided by clear values: creativity with clarity, sustainability with resilience, and collaboration that creates real synergy. We believe in doing things right the first time, with attention to detail and a commitment to quality that ensures every project is built to last.

We combine innovative thinking with practical execution to create beautiful outdoor spaces that stand the test of time — whether it’s a private backyard or a large-scale commercial development. We work closely with local suppliers, minimise waste, and make environmentally responsible choices to deliver lasting, cost-effective solutions.

Our team is made up of passionate landscapers who don’t just build landscapes — they build each other up too. Growth, learning, and shared success are at the heart of our company culture.

Above all, we value connection — with our clients, our community, and each other. We know the best results come from strong relationships, shared ideas, and open communication.

We’re proud of the work we do, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. Let’s grow something great — together.
