  We are so happy with the design that James provided that it has already had positive impact on our family, neighbours and friends. When we originally engaged James he not only listened to what we wanted but designed the garden to best suit the house we built. James has the ability to soften our homes strong lines and colour selection by placing curves and moving outside the box. To our surprise our nearby neighbours complimenting the design and practicality that James provided. From contemporary garden, veggie area to feed an army, pool area and resort feel James didn’t stop in suggesting and supporting our vision. Since the first design we have engaged James to provide us our next project in providing an alpine feel to a dry ordinary area. Sure enough he came through with ponds, kids areas and extended veggie areas. James did the old fashioned “know his customer” with phone conversations and correspondence to brig our dreams to reality. The practicality of the garden design was easy to do (which we did) and his plans and visions are easy to follow. Certainly James has made a huge impact on us and how we interact with the garden. Thanks again James and look forward to one day working with you again

  I am very pleased with the work done by James on my back garden last year. From the initial consultation to the final result, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. James took the time to truly listen to my needs and preferences, incorporating them into a design that exceeded my expectations. The end result is a beautiful and inviting garden that I have thoroughly enjoyed since its completion. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a professional and talented landscape architect who can transform your outdoor space into a stunning oasis. His dedication to his work and commitment to client satisfaction are truly commendable. Thank you, James, for creating such a wonderful space for me to enjoy!

  James is a pleasure to work with and quickly understood what our landscaping likes and dislikes were for our front garden, hard surfaces and lighting. We had tried other landscapers and designers but felt their designs didn't match with our vision. James has turned a very sad space into a talking point for our neighbourhood and a delight to behold both during the day with the plantings and in the evening with the garden lighting design. His plant choice has worked wonderfully and a year on we still love the design as much as we did when it was first completed. We highly recommend James and know from personal experience that he delivers way beyond expectation.

  From start to finish it was an enjoyable process working with James. James was able to come out on site, see the current issues we had and develop a design that fixed our current issues but also gave us a space to relax and enjoy our property. His knowledge of plants and design is second to none. Would easily recommend to anyone looking to design their dream garden space.
