Chris Paul was recommended to us in 1988. He re-designed our 1.5 acre garden in Ridge Lane to the stage of it being accepted into the Taranaki Rhododendron Festival in the late 1990s. Now we are in Frankleigh Park, and starting with a “clean sheet” in 2003, Chris designed the garden including the practical bits (driveway, paths, clothesline etc) to befit the nature of the section. He progressively developed the planting over 10 years, encompassed some of our ideas, and met our criteria that it also be relatively easy care.

With not only good design, but great growing conditions in New Plymouth, we now enjoy a place of beauty and tranquillity with colours and shapes changing through the seasons.

Having had a successful relationship with Chris over the past 25 years we have no hesitation in recommending him to all home owners seeking down to earth practical advice and a design which meets their expectations.

It looks great, thanks so much for your time and diligence.

We've been very impressed with your professionalism.

I can't recommend Chris enough. He always manages to envisage my ideas effortlessly, and put pen to paper to make them come alive.

In all cases Chris is a great landscape designer, experienced plantsman and trusted confidant.

We have nothing but praise for the excellent services provided to us by Chris Paul our Landscape Designer. He is very professional with an abundance of experience in all areas of landscaping. We have known Chris and have used his services for a number of our homes over a period of twenty years. When the time came to build our new home from scratch, we contacted Chris at the outset. We had a vision for the type of home and we wanted the outdoor area to complement that vision. Chris listened and took on board our dreams and turned them into reality. We were shown the gardens of some of Chris's other clients to see what could be achieved. Using some of our own ideas as well as taking on board the great suggestions that Chris had, we were able to create a wonderful outdoor area of our own.

We have had great communication with Chris and whenever something has needed to be attended to he has always been approachable and willing to discuss the next stage of our landscaping. Chris has provided us with outstanding service over the period that we have known him. He is very approachable and considerate of our needs and wants, and has shown the utmost care for us as his clients. He truly loves what he does, and that passion comes across in every outdoor setting that he creates. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris to any of our friends. That from our point of view is the highest possible recommendation.
