About Forknhoe
Your trusted landscaping company in West Auckland.
Welcome to ForknHoe. Established in 2009 by Cherie Newport-Mackenzie, ForknHoe was born out of a deep passion for landscaping and a love for the outdoors, a love she has shared with her children. Over 17 years on, we are still a small family business dedicated to nature and the creation of stunning outdoor spaces.

West Auckland roots
Our community.
We have been a West Auckland family business since 2009, and most of our work still happens within a short drive of our base. The community is where our team lives, where our kids go to school, and where our reputation holds up. You can see the proof in our recent projects.
West Auckland planting days, native-restoration partnerships, local school or sports-club sponsorships, charity and pro-bono work. We list only what is genuinely active.

The difference
The ForknHoe difference shows up three summers later.
Anyone can make a garden look good for the photos. The question is whether it still looks good, and still drains, still holds, still thrives, once a few West Auckland winters have been through it.
The cheap quote
Typical
- Topsoil over clay, plants drown by winter two
- Retaining built without engineering or drainage
- Cheapest plants, wrong for the aspect
- Different crew every visit, no accountability
- “Extras” appear once the job is underway
- Gone the moment the invoice clears
The ForknHoe way
Our way
- Soil prep and drainage sorted before a single plant
- Engineered, consented retaining that holds the slope
- Right plant, right place, chosen for your aspect
- Same family crew, start to finish
- Sustainable practices, edible and native planting
- We maintain what we build, for years
