Phillip and Milena, Ecocare Christchurch

04 — Who We Are

Small Crew.
Big Standards.

Ecocare was started by Phillip and Milena, two people who genuinely love the outdoors and believe every Christchurch home deserves a garden and outdoor space to be proud of.

Phillip handles all on-site work and client consultations: he's the one who comes to your property, assesses your space, and gets his hands dirty making it happen.
Milena manages the business, coordinates projects, and makes sure every client experience is smooth from first quote to final handover.
Together, they've built Ecocare on the belief that outdoor care should be eco-conscious, affordable, and genuinely personal: not a faceless service.

Do you build decks and pergolas as well as gardens? +

Yes, this is one of Ecocare's key advantages. We offer the full outdoor package: garden maintenance and planting AND deck and pergola builds, all under one team. You don't need to manage separate contractors or get multiple quotes. Learn more about our deck builds →

It's real. We use electric tools and low-emission vehicles on every job. We plant a native tree or plant with every single job we do: we've planted over 2,500 across Christchurch. We partner with Trees for Canterbury and local conservation groups. Sustainability isn't a marketing line for us: it's the reason we started Ecocare. Read more about our eco approach →
