Gazebo Design & Construction Services in Judgeford, Wellington

“I have engaged the services of Jamie Reid Landscaping and Design on two separate occasions; one to provide a planting plan for the front garden and the other, to design a folly for a rear garden. Front garden: Jamie popped around for an initial consultation to understand my requirements. We negotiated our way through the consult and came to a mutual agreement of what was essentially, a remit for an English-style Cottage garden in Khandallah. There was regular communication from Jamie and I was kept apprised throughout the process. Jamie provided a comprehensive to-scale planting plan. Jamie also offered to not only source the plants but to also project manage the landscaping. It was, however, my preference to do the donkey work myself. The end results is a magnificent year-round English-style Cottage garden. We constantly get positive comments from locals and visitors alike at the rarity of seeing a Cottage garden in Khandallah. We also happily allowed the Khandallah School access for their bi-annual garden tour. Rear garden: Two years post-front garden completion, I engaged Jamie to design a folly for the rear garden and suggest some planting ideas. Being nestled into a native-dominant bank, Jamie suggested aromatic and colourful plantings, e.g. heuchera, clivia, hostas, etc. The folly design went through a number of iterations and we settled on a structure of Greywacke stone pillars with a Wedgewood blue metal framework for the 'roof' and Buttercup yellow bench seats and bearers. Once complete, the colurful folly just 'popped' against the background. Jamie suggested rebuilding the riverstone walls with the same stone as the pillars. This was a masterstroke as it tied the house and rear garden together. All-in-all an extremely satisfactory result. I have found Jamie to be very patient, knowledgeable and inclusive, and also willing to offer alternatives. I will certainly use Jamie's services again, regardless of where we are in the region.”

“Homescapes turned our steep crumbling bank into an attractive and useable garden. Bill came up with a really creative and unique design that worked with the landscape and addressed our needs as a family – he even incorporated some of our children’s ideas into the design! He and his team were pleasant to deal with and we’re very pleased with the results.”
