The landscaping professionals

Registered Master Landscapers (RML), previously known as the Landscaping Industry Association of New Zealand (LIANZ), has been officially representing the landscaping industry since 1985 with a mission to promote professionalism and quality trade practice.

The important thing to consider though is that most hard landscaping is designed and built to contain plants or lawns, and requires the knowledge of skilled landscapers to plan for this and allow for irrigation and drainage to ensure that it functions properly.

This means expert knowledge and skills are required to get the desired outcome.

Landowners can access a local landscaping professional by accessing the RML website. All accredited members of Registered Master Landscapers are able to provide professional advice and relevant services.

RML has branches across New Zealand and actively recruits members based on an assessment of their standard of work.

Members are bound by RML’s Constitution, Code of Conduct , Environmental Policy and Complaints Procedure, ensuring professional business practices are carried out with integrity at all times.
