For Wellington homeowners, lifestyle block owners and trade professionals, Stihl Shop Petone is the local team that makes outdoor work easier. The showroom brings together leading brand mowers and chainsaws under one roof, so customers can compare options side by side and leave with the right tool for the job — not just the nearest thing to it. Battery-powered gear is a growing favourite, and there is plenty to choose from: a battery lawn mower for quieter weekend tidy-ups, battery operated leaf blowers that start at the push of a button, battery operated weed trimmers and a cordless line trimmer for fences and edges, a battery powered chainsaw for firewood and pruning, and battery secateurs that save the hands on big pruning jobs. Those who prefer petrol or mains power are well covered too, with electric lawn mowers, petrol and electric water blasters, portable generators, pre-mixed 2-stroke fuel and Wet and Forget products, including Wet and Forget Rapid, for paths, roofs and decks.
Larger properties call for more machine, and the team is happy to talk through what actually suits the site. Customers can compare some of the best ride-on lawn mowers and the best zero-turn lawn mower options available locally, including Cub Cadet riding lawn mowers, Masport ride-on mowers, Walker zero-turn lawn mowers from an authorised Walker lawn mower dealer, and the Wright stand-up mower for operators who want a compact, manoeuvrable stand-up lawn mower. For those keen to hand the job over entirely, Lawnmaster lawn mowers and the Lawnmaster robotic mower keep lawns neat with very little input. Behind the showroom sits a fully equipped workshop, which is where many customers find the real value: lawn mower repairs across Wellington, ride-on mower service and ride-on mower repair, Masport lawn mower service, lawn mower blade sharpening, chainsaw servicing in Wellington, chainsaw chain replacement, hedge trimmer service and general lawn mowing repair services. The team also handles outboard motor repair and outboard service in Wellington, so boat owners have a qualified outboard mechanic close at hand.
When the weather turns, attention shifts indoors. As wood burner specialists and a recognised log burner specialist, Stihl Shop Petone helps customers choose a wood burner and fireplace that genuinely suits their home, their consent requirements and their budget. Browse fireplaces online or visit in person to see Pyroclassic fireplaces, including the Pyroclassic Mini and the Pyro wood burner, plus Metro fireplace, Metro log burner and Metro wood burner models, Firenzo fireplaces and Firenzo wood fires, and Woodsman fires and the Woodsman wood burner. Whether the plan is to buy a wood burning fireplace for a new build, find a small indoor wood fireplace for a compact living area, or arrange a fireplace replacement, the team explains realistic fireplace replacement costs up front and manages the details. For anyone searching for a fireplace in Wellington, or comparing wood burners and wood fires across the region, expert local advice and honest recommendations are only a short trip to Petone away.
Wind Gardens is the go-to landscaping specialist for homeowners across Wellington and the Kapiti Coast who want a garden they can enjoy rather than battle. Behind the business is Jacob, a landscape gardener with more than 50 years of experience transforming sections throughout New Zealand — so whatever the wind, salt spray or slope is throwing at a property, chances are he has solved it before. From artistic garden design in Wellington to coastal planting on the Kapiti Coast, every plan is shaped around the site, the conditions and the way the owner actually wants to live outdoors. The result is a garden that looks beautiful, stays sustainable and asks very little in return.
Whether the goal is a relaxed cottage garden, a sheltered entertaining area or a practical fix for a tricky bank, Wind Gardens offers complete garden solutions across Wellington. Landscape design makes the most of every square metre of a section, while decking, planter boxes and other hard landscaping add structure, shelter and year-round interest. Planting plans are tailored to the location, with low maintenance plants for Kapiti Coast properties, hardy coastal species for exposed sites and smart choices for inland and city gardens. For sections losing ground to wind and rain, erosion control on the Kapiti Coast is handled with planting and structures that hold the soil and still look good. Homeowners get one experienced point of contact from first sketch to final plant.
Before collecting quotes for a private garden or a public landscaping project, it pays to talk to a landscaping consultant first. A consultation with Jacob often uncovers a simpler, more affordable landscaping approach for Wellington sections — one that saves hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars by solving the real problem rather than paying for guesswork. Wind Gardens serves Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, Plimmerton, Paraparaumu, the Wairarapa and the wider Kapiti Coast, and is happy to talk anytime, especially at weekends. Call 027 428 2119 to arrange a consultation, or request a call back and take the first step towards a garden worth stepping outside for.
