“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.”

“Rachel was awesome. We had done some work ourselves but got stuck with our challenging site. She completely got my brief. Her design absolutely nailed it. And my husband loved it too. She was extremely organised, everything in the design was costed and documented; plant varieties, sizes, labour, mulch, everything. And most importantly we love the finished result. We can't wait to move on to the next part of the garden. We will definitely enlist her help again. It was money well spent and we came in under budget!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Catherine was a pleasure to deal with, I really enjoyed working with her on our water feature garden project. She was resourceful and went the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the final plan/result. Catherine listened carefully with a professional approach to my brief and made excellent suggestions to suit the site and conditions. She supplied a comprehensive plant list inclusive of images and even helped with the plant purchasing. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Catherine for all your hard work.”

“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.”

“We contracted Jon from Wellington Gardens to design a garden for us, and to then implement that design. The design included the following build elements; a long wooden retaining wall (1.2m down and up), gates, a raised pebble stone area, a large deck (with railings), a sloped concrete path to the house, lights, and clearing & planting. Jon brought a practical approach to the design and build and was a pretty good judge of what was important to us (even if he underestimated my passion for right angles). He was very keen to avoid unnecessary cost for us. In the implementation of the build Jon brought a fantastic team of sub-contractors. Their professionalism and high standards were exceptional! I assume that we paid more overall than we might have if we had contracted and managed the work ourselves. However the quality of interaction and workmanship would almost certainly not have been as high. And it would have been considerably more stress. Through the build Jon was always available, whether at our very regular onsite catch ups, or at the end of a phone. At all times it felt like he was giving the build his full attention - even though we were aware that he had other jobs on the go. So in summary, we were very happy with our engagement with Jon and Wellington Gardens, and would not hesitate to use them again.”

“Ann has helped us over the last year to design and plant our garden and to design/oversee our hard landscaping. The project was a new build in a challenging coastal environment. Throughout the project Ann has been very attentive and responsive to our needs and aspirations, guiding and supporting us through what was practicable and achievable. She also assisted us through what was a very difficult process on one of our fences. Her calmness was a key feature in us making progress. Ann also coordinated and managed the various contractors. The section has been transformed over the last year and we are very happy with the outcome. Ann has been excellent to work with - her unassuming but professional approach is a real asset. I would unreservedly recommend her to anyone who wishes to develop and or enhance their properties.”
