CLIENT TESTIMONIALS FOR LAURENSON
LANDSCAPE DESIGN Thanks so much Robyn
for making this all happen – it is exactly as I thought it would
be. Margaret Wyatt, Flat
Bush, Manukau Robyn
was recommended to us by a professional in the industry, and we are very
pleased to have contracted her to help us with our garden make over. We
opted to go only as far as Concept Plans - with the Landscaper using
these to build the project. However in hindsight I would
recommend using Robyn to project manage - this would have saved time and
money, and avoided the frustration of having to redo features that did not
quite get built as on plan! Robyn
was great to work with - she spent time really listening to our
aspirations for the garden, and was well grounded in the practicalities of
our site, coupled with the financial constraints we placed on the
project. Robyn gave us options, and was able to point out pros and cons
- without being tied to her own sense of best design.
We appreciated Robyn's skills of negotiation when she came back in
part way through the project to help bring the builder back to plan and
ensure we did not settle for a less than satisfactory outcome. Our
project was always going to be a work in progress - we have planted it
ourselves, and are continuing to develop the site as finance allows - however
Robyn was able to support us in this process and encouraged me to have the
confidence to work with my ideas and create my own garden! Lyn
McDonnell & Hans Buwalda, Hillsborough,
Robyn
came recommended to us by another professional involved in the landscape
industry. We have certainly not been disappointed – from the initial planning
meetings through to completed project, Robyn has made the whole project
seamless. We are absolutely delighted with the finished project and can look
forward to many years enjoying our newly landscaped garden. Sue
and Trevor Woolston, St Heliers, Robyn
created a garden for us based on her extensive knowledge and our brief. The
end result is beyond a dream as now all landscaping is complete and plants
are flourishing. The plant selections are appropriate for the given
environments. Robyn’s concept of shape and design has made a somewhat
restricted space take on a splendid life of its own. Maureen
and Kevin Sceats, Te Atatu, The
brief we gave Robyn was "create a natural landscape with dramatic
seasonal changes and we will sit our house in it”. The birds love the stream
and our own animals, dogs and cats are finding things of interest and places
to rest throughout the garden. We have had our first season (Summer) and have
loved the colours and look of the garden. Now the season is changing
and every week something new is happening and the plants are taking on
lovely autumn tones. We can hardly wait to see what it will look like in
Winter and spring and with maturity. Thanks Robyn for making our
vision such a great reality. Sandra
and Gerald Plested, Remuera, We
“discovered” Robyn Laurenson at the Ellerslie Flower Show in November 2004,
when she exhibited a charming small garden.
When we were planning to make alterations to our own, we immediately
thought of her, and have not been disappointed. Her design, her attention to
detail, and her supervision of all the work carried out has resulted in a
garden with which we are delighted, and which has created favourable comment
from family and friends. Mary
and Derek Wedekind, Remuera, I
can't tell you how much the garden has added to the house – it makes me want to go outside which I rarely
did before. It's added significant living area which is also a pleasure to
look out on from the inside. I even feel I can invite a work colleague
from Australia to meet me here next week - I'm now actually proud to
show off my home!! Frances
Kinnaird, Birkenhead, Robyn
has designed gardens for us at the Auckland Home Show, the Autumn Home Show and
most recently our own JAGAS show gardens at our factory in East Tamaki.
We chose Robyn because of her excellent feel for small spaces and because she
is such a pleasure to deal with. She also knows our products
well. All her displays are admired and the JAGAS Autumn Home Show stand
was informally considered “Best of Show” by Show management and the public
alike. Robert Sweet, Director, JAGAS Paving Limited, I
found Robyn to be a very good listener who was able to incorporate my ideas,
as well as hers, into a garden that really suited the 1930's architecture of
my house. She was excellent in the `big' things of garden landscaping,
like design and contacts with trades people, as well as the smaller things,
like keeping me informed, giving me options, being on time and doing things
when she said she would. I now have a garden that not only I enjoy
but the wider neighbourhood in which I live also enjoy. People still
walk past and tell me how much they enjoy seeing my garden, ask me about the
plants and tell me how fantastic they think the designer is. Helen
Vicary, I am
delighted in how Robyn's design for my deck and garden has transformed the
outdoor living area on my property. The area is very narrow and posed a
big challenge for a designer. I was very impressed with her detailed
drawings, which gave a very clear vision of the final result. Her
recommendation on what plants are best suited to the conditions has been a
great help. Marilyn
Jones, Albany, North Shore Robyn
designed the patio off our lounge and bedroom. She was great to work with - very
professional and thorough but also very friendly. Her plant knowledge has resulted in a
delightful blend of greenery and colour with different textures also
apparent. She considered our needs and
wants and incorporated them into a wonderful, peaceful and private oasis
which we just love. Jude
and Donald Southee, Glenfield, North Shore
