Landscape Plans Services in Wellington

“I cannot recommend Wright & Gray architects highly enough. We found Wright Gray based on some good reviews online and we feel very lucky we did. We first met Travis (one of the Directors) on site with our wish list and ideas, and after a decent meeting where he took lots of notes to understand our objectives, priorities, budget etc we waited anxiously to see what we would get. When he came back to us with the initial concept drawings and 3D modelling, I was amazed at how close he got to what we were looking for (actually better than we were looking for). I was expecting lots of back and forth but it was already 90% there! Travis really focused on making it work for our young family and so had a real focus on how a family would use the space and practical elements like storage for example. Travis had done his own renovation for his young family so he really knew what he was talking about. The 3D modelling really gave you a sense of how the spaces would feel and flow which we found really helpful. Travis and his team are very detail focused and don’t like leaving things to chance. The detailed plans and drawings they produced were just that – they really had an enormous about of rich information in them from materials and product choice, to light and switch placement to art work position etc. Now we are back living in the house we are even more impressed – the aspect from the kitchen with the large skylight casting light and interest above is superb, the indoor-outdoor flow and visibility of the kids racing around the deck and the enjoyment they get from the house is awesome. It is light, warm and modern while still respecting the character of the original part of the house. We really see the value the architect added and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“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.”

“Jamie was a very attentive and prompt contractor. He had an excellent eye for contemporary design and created a fabulous plan for our garden landscaping/renovation. His service was also provided on a very cost effective basis. I would highly recommend Jamie Reid Landscape and Garden Design for any other home garden renovation project.”

“I cannot recommend Rachael Matthews of HEDGE Garden Design & Nursery highly enough. She is very professional and knowledgeable and assisted us to landscape, plant and transform both our front and back gardens within budget and in a timely fashion. Rachael was on our wavelength from the start and helped to enhance the existing garden at the back by incorporating some structure, and overhauled the landscaping and planting of the front garden while saving our most treasured plants for re-use in the new garden. I was very impressed by Rachael's knowledge of plants, the conditions the different plants thrive in, and the way her choice of plant or flower colours harmonised together. Rachael also interfaced brilliantly with our landscapers. We were lucky enough to have our garden featured in NZ House & Garden, in large part due to Rachael's efforts. We highly recommend Rachael and HEDGE Garden Design and Nursery.”

“We approached Holmes Architecture because we had purchased an original 1920's house and we needed some help to create it into a family home that worked for all members of our family. Holmes Architecture helped with our working plans and gaining consent with the council and we project managed the build with consulting help from Mike. We are absolutely thrilled with the result. We have a lovely modern home that works well for every member of our family. The spaces are great. The exterior design is interesting. I really like Mike's easy going nature. He listened to what we wanted and was happy to incorporate our ideas into the project. He didn't take over. I found the experience really good. I would definitely recommend Holme's Architecture to people who need original and interesting plans designed.”

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 had the pleasure of working closely with Catherine on a day to day basis for 4 years.She is honest, hard working, self-motivated and a perfectionist. Catherine plans and prepares extensively, has excellent communication skills, is a good istener and patient. Her many other skills include creativity and innovativeness, ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines as well as expertly managing budgets. Catherine is a sincere and genuine person with a fantastic sense of humour. A great person to work with and be around.”

“We contacted Jon Muller after we had built our house, to heip us design our garden. We had used another landscape designer for the same garden and had a bad experience so we were very cautious. From the very first meeting we had with Jon we felt that he understood what we wanted, he was able to organise everything we wanted such as drainage, sun shade and garden plan. We discussed budgets, timeframes, options and it was very clearly presented to us. We really appreciated that we could email him with any questions along the process and even after the garden was completed if we had the occasional question. We are thrilled with our garden, we planted it February 2014 and each year it continues to grow we love it and are so grateful to Jon for helping us to create the garden we love and enjoy.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Shelley’s plans for the garden of the old villa we’ve just moved into. In 2002 Shelley had designed the garden for the home in which we brought up our now adult children. Having downsized into a smaller villa we called her in again now wanting a classic style, low maintenance, and flair. Shelley has done a wonderful job; she understood immediately what we wanted. She was fast and responsive to our ideas, creative in the design and incredibly knowledgeable about plants and the vagaries of Wellington sites. I am just thrilled with the result. Thank you Shelley.”

“Stefan did an amazing job designing the reno for our Kitchen and Lounge area. The package he provided was perfect for bringing to builders for quotes and gave us some great ideas.”
