What Mace Landscape Group does

Mace Landscape Group is a Takanini, Auckland-based design-build-maintain landscape services firm founded in 1975 by Neville and Val Mace and currently led by Managing Director Michelle Mace as a second-generation family business. The firm operates an integrated, full-lifecycle service covering landscape design (concept design, 3D renders, construction detailing, planting plans, and resource/building consent documentation), full landscape construction (timber, fencing, concrete, paving, softscape installation, tree transplants, irrigation), and recurring aftercare/maintenance (mowing, irrigation servicing, seasonal upgrades, MPI reporting). Its service menu is organized across six project categories: commercial precincts, housing developments, community spaces, residential properties, environmental/revegetation projects, and multi-level greenroofs/podiums up to 21 floors.

The business is differentiated by Registered Master Landscaper credentials, four 2023 Gold industry awards across maintenance, construction, horticulture, and design, and 2026 SiteWise Gold contractor prequalification. Proprietary capabilities include the 'Green Legacy' native revegetation approach with eco-sourcing strategies for riparian, roadside, and industrial sites, and Greenstar-approved design schemes for environmental and commercial work. The group operates alongside two sister companies — Mace Trees (plant supply) and Bark Wholesalers (bark and landscape materials) — that supply the design-build operations, creating a vertically integrated supply chain.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-scoped pricing across design, construction, and multi-year maintenance contracts, with go-to-market driven by direct engagement with developers, architects, urban planners, councils, and high-net-worth residential clients, supplemented by referrals, repeat relationships, website contact channels, blog content, and listing on Archipro. The named customer base spans hospitality (e.g., DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka) and bespoke residential projects. Operations remain Auckland-focused with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond the region.
