Hi neighbours,

I’m Luke from Vivant Landscapes — we’re a small, hands-on team that works closely with landscape designers to bring beautiful outdoor spaces to life. We take on everything from full builds to detailed finishing work, always with a focus on quality and care.

If you’ve got any landscaping questions — big or small — we’re always happy to help or offer advice where we can.

We’ve just wrapped up a couple of great projects and have a small window before our next large one begins, so if you’ve been thinking about a garden refresh, have a project of your own, or just want to tick off some outdoor work, feel free to get in touch.

Thank you!

Poll: Are you paying too much for parking?

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.

The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.

But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.

Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?

Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?
