Hawke’s Bays’ Professional Planters

King Planting is our opportunity to create a healthier environment for our mokopuna through caring for our land and waterways.

We started out by planting natives for one of our clients – and quickly grew from there. You can supply us with trees to plant directly, or we can source them for you if needed. We complete planting jobs both large and small.

The Power of Planting

  • It supports bees with pollination.

  • The shade helps cool your farm animals over those hot days.
