"They have done an incredible job for our outdoor project from conceptual design, detail design, lighting, materials and colour consultation, to planting selection and overseeing of project implementation through completion. We were dealing with a tight outdoor space & had to utilize the space wisely.
We have neighbours surrounding our property & wanted to screen them out to ensure the best possible privacy. We are very pleased with the final results & highly recommend Kieran and Pencil for landscaping design creations at your place."

"We are very pleased with our architecturally designed home and were looking forward to tying in a quality landscape design to our rural property on Awhitu Peninsula Manukau. Our family vineyard is also on this property. Our property has a natural flow with the land and it was important to us that we aligned our landscaping into the surrounding environment.
The original home on the property has now been converted into a tasting facility for potential buyers of Awitu wine and we required the landscaping of this area to create a welcoming and relaxing vibe for these potential clients. We also wanted to block out our own house from the tasting facility and give privacy to our home by planting fruit trees for our own use.
We are very pleased with the time and effort put into the design and consultation process. They took on board our requirements and offered their expertise. The design was well thought out and tied in nicely to our architects brief. We love watching the landscape grow into the design. An example of this is the way the trees that were specifically selected for the tasting area, are growing together to create an overall umbrella affect. We are delighted with the outcome."

"My section is beach front on Cheltenham Beach Auckland.The house covers a lot square meters on the section and one of our requirements was to include as much lawn area as possible. Due to the challenges with salt spray and wind we had to be very careful with what was planted. The designers worked very well with these challenges and I was very grateful for their advice. I am very pleased with the plant selection as everything is growing well and looking lush."

"Our property is at 52 Walton Street Red Beach. This is one of two houses designed for our site. Our challenges were privacy and tying the new landscape into the existing landscape.
We already had some ideas of what we wanted and our architect provided a basic design. With this design and Kieran’s advice we came up with a concept.The job was completed within the deadline and we were pleased with the workmanship and communication throughout the job. We are really happy with the plant selection and delighted with the overall design."

"We engaged Kieran to do a total rebuild of our garden in Freeman's Bay, Auckland. After discussing our needs with him Kieran came up with a few options & diagrams. He was very thorough in explaining the type of plants & tress the would work in our garden.
He explained the total time that would be spent sourcing the plants, how long it would take and the length it would take for the garden to reach maturity after the initial replant. He came back every two months to check the garden, prune, spray and advise on a regular basis. There was minimal disruption and every night he left the garden in an immaculate state.
I highly recommend Kieran to any prospective clients. He was highly professional in all manners."

"I have a high quality architecturally designed home on a double section in Remuera. Privacy was important to me and drainage was an issue as there was a natural spring on the property. There were a lot of contractors working on the site at any one time and I was pleased with how the landscape designers worked in with the Project Manager."
