Established in 1990 by Don Betts and Kevin Bishop, the business gained a strong reputation in New Plymouth for its inspiration landscapes & high-quality workmanship under Don’s leadership. 

Betts & Bishop changed hands in 2004 before being purchased by Robyn and Alan “Razz” Rasmussen in early 2007.

Under the new ownership, Betts & Bishop Landscaping Ltd continued to build upon its established reputation and expand its services. In 2012, the business underwent further growth with the acquisition of Handyman Xpress Ltd, which was eventually integrated into Betts & Bishop Landscaping & Construction Ltd. This strategic move allowed Betts & Bishop to offer a comprehensive range of landscaping and construction services.

Over the course of Robyn & Razz’s 16 years of ownership, Betts & Bishop has experienced significant growth in terms of capabilities, equipment and workforce. The team expanded from 7 staff members to the current complement of 27, reflecting the increasing demand for their services and the company’s ability to undertake larger and more complex projects.

Although Robyn and Razz remain actively involved the business, they have started transitioning the management responsibilities to others within the company. Zoe Hall, serving as the Business Manager, and Ben Te Huia, in the role of Operations Manager, are taking on more significant roles in leading and managing the company.

The involvement of Zoe Hall and Ben Te Huia as key members of the management team reflects the business’ commitment to sustainable growth and continued success in the landscaping and construction industry.
