Restoring Aotearoa's natural beauty
He Kaitiaki Tātou – We Are Guardians
In Aotearoa, caring for the land isn’t optional — it’s responsibility.
At Hakas Garden Management, we approach every native river restoration and reforestation project with kaitiakitanga — guardianship of the whenua and waterways entrusted to us.
We don’t just plant trees.
We restore balance.
We stabilise riverbanks.
We protect the mauri of the land.
If you’re ready to strengthen your property, meet environmental standards, and contribute to the long-term health of New Zealand’s ecosystems, we’re ready to walk that journey with you.
Kia kaha te whenua. Kia ora te wai.
Strong land. Living water.
Let’s restore it — properly. 🌿
Our restoration solutions
We offer tailored solutions for native river restoration and ecological reforestation, focusing on practical, long-term outcomes for landowners, councils, and developers across Auckland, New Zealand. Our approach integrates environmental compliance with robust ecological design.
Riverbank restoration
Stabilising unstable riverbanks, preventing erosion, and enhancing water quality through expertly designed native planting schemes. We address environmental risks and ensure compliance.
Ecological reforestation
Transforming degraded land into vibrant, resilient native ecosystems. Our reforestation projects improve biodiversity, soil health, and long-term environmental value.
Environmental compliance
Navigating council guidelines and approved planting lists to ensure every project meets regulatory standards, protecting your investment and ensuring ecological success.
Restoring the Mauri of Our Waterways
Healthy rivers start with healthy edges.
Through professional riparian planting, erosion control, and native regeneration, we help:
• Stabilise riverbanks
• Improve water quality
• Reduce sediment runoff
• Bring back native biodiversity
We work closely with council plant lists and environmental guidelines, using only approved, regionally appropriate native species. Done properly. No shortcuts.
Addressing critical land issues
We primarily help landowners, councils, and developers responsible for managing waterways or environmentally sensitive land. They’re typically facing challenges like riverbank erosion, invasive species, declining water quality, compliance obligations, and the long-term cost of unmanaged land — and they need a practical, professional solution that restores ecological health while protecting their investment.
25 Years of trusted expertise
Even though this is a new division of the business, clients get the same standards Hakas Garden Management has built over 25 years — professional planning, clear communication, quality installation, and long-term thinking. They gain peace of mind knowing their restoration project is handled with practical experience, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing it properly — not just planting trees, but building a resilient ecosystem that will last.
