5 out of 5 stars
“Lorraine was fantastic to work with on a new project which required integration into an existing garden. She came up with an excellent design which featured originality while reflecting the existing hard and soft landscaping. Her knowledge of plants is exceptional, especially for the harsh and challenging climate for which she was designing. We will work with Lorraine again as our gardens continue to evolve and welcome her fresh ideas.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Lorraine on our new build property, and the experience was truly fantastic! Her vision and creativity brought our garden to life in ways we never imagined. She listened carefully to our ideas and transformed them into a stunning outdoor space that we absolutely love. Lorraine’s professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to enhance their landscape!”

“Creating a garden which compliments your home and personality - whether rural lifestyle acres or a city townhouse courtyard - can be daunting. As an experienced gardener myself, I faced this challenge when we moved from a large rural property back into town, to a section which was a blank canvas. Lorraine listened to my ideas and quickly narrowed down to a style which reflected what we wanted to achieve. She took my initial thoughts and built on them to create a plan which introduced planting and hard landscaping solutions, some things which we would never have thought about. A good communicator, I highly recommend Lorraine as a Landscape Designer who really listens to her clients and adds that extra bit of magic.”
