Gazebo Design & Construction Services

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 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”

“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.”

“I can't recommend these guys enough. They turn up when they say they will. They do the job they say they are going to do and most importantly all the way through the communication is outstanding. I initially got in touch because I needed a retaining wall replaced. I expected there were going to be problems because of the age and condition of the property and there were. This meant we ended up needing new stairs as well as the wall but it was all communicated to me before anything was actioned so I felt completely in control throughout the entire project. After they had finished the wall everything was cleaned up and left looking great so I asked if they might be able to fix up and finish a paving project and within a week there was a team measuring and a quote prepared. The work was completed ahead of time and once again the communication was outstanding. I now have them working on a design for the rest of the landscaping and I feel confident that any further projects will be done with the same professionalism.”

“We have recently built a nw home in Papamoa. we decided to give Modernscape NZ a call, Stacey came out to visit us, she was amazing great knowledge, enthusiastic and wanted to help us make the most of our space. we decided to get her to draw up a design (which was half the price of others we had in to look) She came up with a beautiful design everything we wanted. Nothing was an issue. LOVED IT!! We are now working with her for the installation. Highly Recomend!!”

“Chris designed our garden in 2017. She balances creativity with pragmatism and has a deep knowledge of plants. Her innovative approach to the landscape design means that we have an easy care garden that looks amazing and is perfect for our home and site. Chris is professional and friendly and her passion for her work is engaging. She delivered on time, understood our budget and was committed to giving us a garden we love.”
