Landscaping & plant hire services in Canterbury, NZ.
Hort Services Limited delivers professional soft and hard landscaping and plant & machinery hire across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region of New Zealand. Our service offering covers every aspect of outdoor landscape construction and commercial plant hire — from garden bed preparation and planting through to retaining walls, fencing, and business-to-business excavator and tractor hire.
Soft Landscaping
Our soft landscaping services support commercial developments, residential subdivisions, and property upgrades throughout Canterbury. We handle garden bed preparation, soil conditioning, planting, and mulching — working alongside developers, builders, and project managers to deliver planted areas that establish well and require manageable ongoing care. Soft landscaping is often paired with our hard-landscape builds, giving commercial clients a single point of accountability from installation through to completion.
Hard Landscaping
Our hard landscaping covers the structural elements that define and protect a site. We construct retaining walls (below 1.5m), boundary and security fencing, gates, and garden sheds for commercial and residential clients across Canterbury. Every build is delivered to specification, safety-assessed, and completed to standard — whether as a standalone project or alongside our soft landscaping work for a complete site solution.
Plant & Machinery Hire
We hire commercial-grade plant and machinery across Christchurch and wider Canterbury — from a single day to long-term project hire. Our 2026 Kubota U27-4 mini excavator and Kioti DK4010 tractor are available on three flexible terms: dry hire to competent operators, Business-to-Business ('in trade') hire, or wet hire supplied with one of our experienced operators. Hire to the public is available with an operator only. Every machine is safety-equipped and transportable on our ramped plant trailer. Daily, weekend, weekly, and monthly rates are available on request.
All work carried out by Hort Services Limited is completed to agreed specifications, safety-assessed, and fully documented. We hold a 5.0 verified rating across fifteen-plus independent reviews and are ID and NZBN verified.
