Back to Nature Carpentry

Kia ora, I’m Dylan from Back to Nature Carpentry. A passionate father, husband, surfer & carpenter.

I’ve spent 17 years building, designing, and pushing for healthier alternatives in our industry. One thing I’m proud of is helping bring Naturepine (non-arsenic treated timber) forward as a real option for local residential builds.

I’m big on natural materials, thoughtful design, and homes that are practical, simple, and solid.
I keep my business small so I can stay hands-on with every detail. Lately I’ve focused on barn homes, custom interiors, and non-toxic decks or fences.

If you’re looking for an honest builder and/or at building a barn home or exploring the new sub-70m² consent-exempt options, I’m here to help. We have a range of options! No jobs are too big or small! Let’s start planning your projects for next year!

Barn Raised!

So happy with the result! All of the joins are tight. What a beauty.

Time to frame up the shell and get ready to raise the roof!

If you’re interested in your own Raglan barn home reach out to us for a walk through. Let’s talk. ✌️
