Gazebo Design & Construction Services

“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.”

“I interviewed a number of different garden design firms before settling on Kate Ryan and her team from Zones Landscaping Specialists to direct and manage our project. My brief to Kate was to create a sub tropical garden that gave the feel of being continually on holiday in a tropical resort (in the heart of Remuera). The sloping site was challenging and the project required the complete removal of all pre-existing trees and shrubs. Kate and her team came up with the perfect solution. Plants were chosen with care to create a layering effect. The tradespeople used were very professional and great to deal with. Their knowledge of garden design and the quality of their workmanship were excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate Ryan and her team from Zones Landscaping Specialists.”

“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.”

“Top service. A tradesman with attention to detail. Worked with us and advised from the start. Very adaptable to scope changes on the run. Even works in the rain. Programmed to take two weeks; was completed in two weeks. Very happy with the result and have received many complements from family and friends.”

“I have used the services of Michelle McDonnell Landscape Design at both our current and previous residential properties In our former property we required a total redesign of the full 900m2 site. The design was completed by Michelle, with her hard landscape subcontractors undertaking the hard landscaping, with us doing the extensive planting. The design was precise, easy to follow and exactly what we wanted. It was structured, easy to maintain and had a good balance of foliage colour, evergreen and decidious planting. The new owner, and the subsequent, say the garden was a significant influencing factor in their decision to purchase the property. At our current residence - set on a 1.5 acre plot, Michelle has undertaken design on different areas including the design of our outdoor room, fish pond and is about to design a mediterranean edible garden area to complement our existing vegetable and berry gardens. Michelle has also provided advice around hard and soft landscaping in other 'rooms' of the garden. Michelle is skilled at translanting our ideas into reality. She listens, applies something with 'extra interest' and realises an obviously professionally designed garden.”

“JM Landscape Design impressed me on their first visit with their knowledge and creativity. After consulting with a few landscapers I committed with confidence to JM and my once messy, unusuable back garden has been transformed to my sanctuary for entertaining or just chilling. The area for my clothesline and storage area under the stairs works beautifully too and I actually enjoy hanging the clothes out now!”

“We engaged Monique to help us with the outdoor spaces of our recently purchased property. Monique was a pleasure to work with and we had full trust she had our best interests in mind at all stages of the work. The few problems that popped up during the major works were dealt with quickly and professionally. Excellent communication meant we always knew what was happening with regular progress updates. We're thrilled with our new outdoor areas and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Monique to anyone considering a landscaping project.”

“Shelley helped us plan our new garden project in a very friendly and professional manner. She brought her strong gardening and planting expertise to bear and provided us with a positive direction for the project, good design sense and helpful links to allow us to proceed with confidence. Shelly was always very communicative, prompt and courteous. At the start of the project we agreed a schedule for her services which was clear and unambiguous and which generally avoided any 'fluffiness' and allowed us to de-stress our project. Our project was a garden plan for three areas immediately surrounding our house - on three sides of the house - involving mixed planting / pathways / decking. It would have been around 200 sqm. Happy to employ Shelley again.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Nigel on several projects. His projects are always well thought out with the planning and communication is excellent. The clients that haven been present at the time of the work have been pleasant and friendly which indicates to me they are having a good experience when dealing with Nigel. Kyle SkyHooks NZ”

“Edward and his team were fantastic, they designed and implemented our garden to be a perfect weekend get away. They kept to the plan and even went above and beyond when my wife wanted a few things changed. We are now able to sit in our new paradise and relax. Thank you Coastscape we have referred you to friends and will be using your services again on that stage two project. My wife and I would recommend Edward and the team at coastscape to anyone that wants a hassle free, friendly, willing and compitant landscape experience. Regards John and Gilda Bay of Islands NZ”
