We are excited to have been chosen to be the Distributor of this Worldwide Retaining Wall system and look forward to helping to grow your business with a fresh choice for retaining walls.

Allan Block Segmental Retaining Wall Systems will do everything that currently available systems will do and it will do it just a little easier but with the same reliable finish.

The blocks are made and distributed from the manufacturing plant in Morrinsville, to our yards in Onehunga, Ellerslie and East Tamaki. We have stock available ex our yards for your convenience and we will also deliver direct to your sites around Auckland with delivery anywhere in New Zealand by arrangement.

NZ Landscape and Garden Supplies believe that we can offer a comprehensive supply and delivery service to rival anyone.

We also have trained staff that can answer your questions and offer advice right through to a specialist Civil Engineer, if required, to help with your particular project.

NZ Landscape Supplies Community work:

Concept plans for edible garden Wynyard Quarter unveiled. 

NZ Landscape Supplies is pleases to support Garden to Table Trust and Waterfront Auckland, who have unveiled concept plans for the landmark garden project to be established in Wynyard Quarter later this year.

The landscape design and initial concept, created by Susannah Kitching and Robert Cunningham at Opus International, breathes life into the project and shows more than 100 raised garden beds with children busy at work in the 1500sqm lot.
