What we do

Softscape and hardscape, under one pair of hands

Whether it's bringing an overgrown section back under control or building an outdoor space that lasts, every job gets the same treatment: clear communication, a tidy worksite and workmanship that holds up.

Gardening & softscape

Bring the green back under control — and keep it that way.

  • Full section & "jungle" cleanups
  • Garden maintenance & weeding
  • Hedge & plant trimming
  • Garden bed restoration & planting
  • Lawn care & noxious weed removal

Landscaping & hardscape

Built level, built tidy, built to last.

  • Paving & paved courtyards
  • Patios & outdoor seating areas
  • Driveways & pathways
  • Ground prep, basecourse & compaction
  • General landscaping & edging

Experience spans residential and commercial landscaping, including large-scale infrastructure work such as the Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway development — so the fundamentals underneath your job are done right too.

"An absolutely excellent and professional job done by Lukey — totally impressed with his work and his work ethics. When I said I had a jungle to clear, I was NOT joking — I'm so happy I can now see my clothes line and the nasty noxious weeds are gone. Not only professional, exceptional work, but a lovely personality with it!"
"Perfect communication and good quality of work, thank you! I'll definitely reach out if I have future jobs."

About

Meet Luke — the "do it" in Do It Right

My name is Luke, and I'm the owner-operator of Do It Right Landscape & Gardening Services, based in Clevedon and servicing the wider Auckland region.

I founded this business after years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial landscaping, including large-scale infrastructure projects like the Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway development. Over time I saw a real gap in the market for reliable, high-quality work done properly — without cutting corners. That's what led me to establish Do It Right.

What sets me apart is that I take care of every aspect of the job personally. From first contact to final clean-up, you're dealing with me — not a rotating crew or subbies. Communication is clear, timelines are met, and attention to detail is guaranteed.

When approaching a new project, I take the time to understand what's important to you — function, aesthetics, long-term durability, or all three — and walk you through practical options that suit your space, budget and maintenance needs. My goal is results that not only look great, but actually last.
