“We like to create landscapes and outdoor spaces for our clients to enjoy. They need to be both beautiful and practical, places where you want to interact with family and friends and the environment around you. They have to work in practice – not just on paper!”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“We had Andrew design and build raised garden beds for us. His vision and workmanship were top class and we are thrilled with the result.”

- Dave and Jenny Stark

“Vavasour Landscapes took a great design concept, and turned it into a tangible reality for us. Andrew’s approach throughout this project was inclusive, thoughtful and efficient. We are very pleased with the end result and we highly recommend Andrew and his team.”

- Tom & Nic

“Vavasour Landscapes have dug our vision, twice. The first job was one of their first, and our bungalow on Beaver road was transformed! The second dig is in progress as we write this… and shaping Den’s (AitkenTaylor Landscape Architect) design beautifully. Andy and Kate are good listeners, communicators and doers. Their team is professional, look the part and go about their work with pride and efficiency. We would thoroughly recommend Vavasour Landscapes and would use them again in the future.”

- JT and GE

“There is nothing like planning a family wedding in your own back yard to get those long talked about projects off the ground. Vavasour Landscapes saw that we wanted a pergola that was in keeping with other structures on the property. They planned, built and completed the job in a most professional manner.”

- Greg and Robyn King

“We knew we wanted to live more outside and make our section more productive but we were struggling to make it happen. Kate and Andrew grabbed our project with both hands, oversaw the planning, and set about establishing a beautiful garden. We loved their easy communication and their innate sense of what will work and look good, all with close attention to the smallest detail. They literally took care of everything and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”

- Anna and Mike Paterson

“Vavasour Landscapes were a pleasure to deal with. They immediately grasped what we were trying to achieve and ensured the materials and finish were in keeping with our home and garden. Both in design and in practice these guys know what they are doing.”

- Tom and Kirsty Trolove
