Growing Communities Together

For more than 50 years, Intelligro has supplied high-quality growing media to horticultural growers and nurseries across the South Island. These long-standing relationships form the foundation of our business.

Alongside this core expertise, we supply a wide range of landscape materials including mulches, soils, and bulk landscape products, along with our Safefall playground surfacing used in parks, schools, and community spaces.

As land development and landscape projects continue to grow across the region, we see increasing opportunities to contribute our products and expertise to customers ranging from residential developments, commercial and industrial developments, through to large public spaces.
