Our customers have good things to say about 

Vaughan MacKenzie-Brown

We asked Kate to do a landscape plan for a large almost unusable back yard with a fairly tight budget. We wanted a deck built, a play area created for the children and some additional privacy. Kate was very responsive to all questions, very upfront about costs, managed all contractors and oversaw the lot. The result has been great; in summer the kids play mainly outdoors and our backyard is very popular with the neighbourhood children! Great added value- thanks Kate.

Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

I recently listed my house for sale, and asked Kate from Zones to put together a plan to tidy up the front garden and driveway area to achieve maximum impact in a short period of time. Kate did a brilliant job - she has such a good eye and just knows what you should bother doing versus not. Everything Kate suggested looked fantastic, from the driveway and electric gate to the garden beds, ready lawn and planting plan. And to top it all off, Kate is lovely to deal with. Her quiet calm demeanor makes her so easy to deal with. I could not recommend her highly enough.

We used Kate Ryan from Zones Landscaping when she was first starting out and she did a fantastic job. Her communication and management skills are excellent - she took the worry off our hands and delivered a fantastic result, on budget and on time. She also gave us invaluable advice about which plants would suit our conditions and budget. We highly recommend her.

Just home. Garden looks just AMAZING!!! Alistair and his team are legends. They've even filled the side garden and mulched it. I owe those boys some beers. They've left now but please do let them know how much I love it. They nailed the Buddha and the rock location. Just stoked. LOVE my gorgeous garden. Will buy sprinklers over the weekend so please let me know what type and watering instructions. Thanks so much for your work on this project Kate. A long process but I'm just delighted. Looking forward to some grass too!
