For homeowners across North Canterbury and Christchurch looking to transform their outdoor space, Oasis Landscapes offers a full service running from initial design through to finished construction, handled by one in-house team from start to end.
Oasis Landscapes is family owned and operated, founded by Tiare (Tee) Wicksteed, who brings over 13 years of landscape experience to the business. Tee is joined by Business Manager Cam Lepper, who brings a strong background in management, structure and organisation, and foremen Ben Clavijo-Hobson and Chris Rankin, both qualified landscapers with over a decade of industry experience between them. Landscapers Jesse Horne and Jake Burgess round out the team, bringing their own passion for outdoor work and hands-on experience to every project.
Every project begins with a consultation, where the team talks through what a client wants from their space. From there, Oasis can put together a full landscape design and planting plan, or work alongside an existing plan or designer if a client already has one in mind — whether that's a serene garden retreat, a functional outdoor living space, or a vibrant, colourful landscape.
Once a design is settled, the landscaping side covers excavation and sitescrapes to prepare the ground, new lawns including hydroseeding, ready lawn and artificial turf, irrigation and planting, and paving and stonework for paths, patios and other hard landscaping elements.
For clients after something more substantial, Oasis Landscapes also handles construction-level work: outdoor entertainment areas, pools and spas, decking and fencing, outdoor fires, and concrete work. This lets the company take on projects that go well beyond planting a garden, building complete outdoor living spaces from the ground up.
Customer feedback on the company's site speaks to both the quality of the finished work and the experience of working with the team. One client, Astrid Keir-Stanley, described Oasis as having "immediately understood our vision" for a new brick raised garden bed project, praising the team as "efficient, excellent communicators." Another client, Anne Gallagher, described an "amazing transformation" to her section, noting the team's professionalism and sense of humour even through difficult weather and pandemic-related disruptions, and their willingness to adapt design ideas when things didn't go entirely to plan.
Oasis Landscapes is based in Rangiora and services Canterbury wide, offering a no-obligation, free quote for anyone wanting to discuss a project. Whether it's a straightforward lawn and planting refresh or a full outdoor construction project involving a pool, deck or entertaining area, the team's goal is to keep the process easy for the client from the first conversation through to the final walk-through — so, as one client put it, you can get straight to enjoying your new space.
