Maloney Landscape Design Ltd

Maloney Landscape Design Ltd is a family run, Wellington based company specialising in making functional and delightful outdoor spaces.

Our design philosophy is to engage with clients to achieve an outdoor space that reflects their personality and their style of living. We believe that each client has their own unique solution, and working closely with the client to define and refine the solution is key to a successful outcome.

We endeavour to create a seamless style transition between your house and garden, so the garden becomes an extension of your home with another room to relax in. By borrowing special features in the surrounding landscape, we can enhance your garden by allowing your eye to see these as part of your own garden. However, if there are unsightly features surrounding your property, then we will design a garden that holds your interest within your beautiful garden!

Andrea Maloney is the Principal Designer and she has a technical background in geology and groundwater. She comes from a gardening family where her upbringing was rich in colour, texture, light, sculpture, dance and drama. She has a lifelong passion for design in outdoor spaces and gardens.

She brings knowledge in soil, groundwater drainage and water supply, and has a keen, practical eye and an ability to bring a garden alive with native and exotic plantings. She likes to use NZ Native shrubs and trees together with hard landscaping, lighting and sculptures to form the structure, or backbone, of the garden. This will enable your garden, or landscape, to hold your interest through all the seasons providing form, colour, texture, scent, movement, lighting, security and a source of food for our native birds. A combination of native, exotic and edible planting groups, are used to add extra interest showcasing the owners flair and interests.

Kevin, Andrea’s husband, has a background in engineering, technology, innovation and business. He is practical and enjoys creating functional, quirky designs. He likes to think outside ‘the box’. Kevin has good project management skills.

Andrea has worked in the landscape design industry as a sole trader since 2005. She formed Maloney Landscape Design in August 2008 and has completed many successful engagements. In June 2012 the company was incorporated and has accredited membership with Landscaping New Zealand.
