The same crew, for close to two decades.
Landscape construction across Wellington, Porirua and the Kāpiti Coast - under one name, since before most of the competition existed.
People do not come back to a crew that cut corners.
Distinctive has built outdoor spaces across the Wellington region for close to two decades. Thousands of contracts in that time, and nearly one in three clients come back for the next one. That number is the whole story: people do not return to a crew that cut corners.
The crew is the product. Six decades of combined experience between them, the same hands on every job, from the first dig to the final walk-through. You are not handed off to a stranger halfway through, and you are not left chasing subbies you have never met. We build it, we stand behind it, and we are still here to look after it.
Work with us“I have had a working relationship with Distinctive Landscapes for nearly 10 years. Their work is consistently excellent, creative and well-considered.”

Why us, over a cheaper quote or a bigger firm?
Because the same crew builds your job start to finish, the owner prices and stays across it, and the work is still standing years later - which is why nearly one in three of our clients come back, and returning clients are about half our work.
A solo operator can vanish mid-job. A franchise sends subbies you have never met. We have built across the Wellington region for close to two decades under one name. The work talks - we just make sure it’s got something worth saying.

Charl de Villiers
Prices every job and is on every site visit.
Richard Letica
More than 25 years in the trade, and leads every build on site.
Kait Inwood
Runs the back end, and your main point of contact once the quote is in.
Four standards.
The crew stays
Same faces from first dig to final walk-through. The continuity is the product, and it is why people come back.
Built to last
We build for decades, not seasons. Every material and every structure is chosen to age well on a real site.
Honest on site
We tell you what will work and what will not. We would rather lose the easy yes than build something that fails later.
No surprises
A fixed scope off a site visit. Any variation is priced and agreed in writing before the work starts.
