Charlotte’s passion for plants and attention to detail forms the base of her elegant style and practical functional approach.

Charlotte comes from a family of talented gardeners and grew up talking green. She has done the hard graft working in the implementation team as well as the mindful design work – it’s part of the reason why she is so successful in creating gardens for others.

Testimonials

We have not the slightest hesitation in recommending Espaso Verde for Landscape Design and Construction to anyone after they completely transformed the grounds of our lifestyle property from drab and dysfunctional to ‘Home and Garden’ quality. They are a highly skilled tightly knit team of great people. Hard working, innovative and truly customer focused, they are also some of the nicest people you would wish to welcome onto your property. Attention to detail, putting things right when they do go wrong, and not concluding until the client is happy are all hallmarks of a great operation.

An innovative design and well engineered construction! The Team at Espaso Verde created a great courtyard/BBQ area to complement the design of our house in a timely manner. Thanks, guys for a great job

Espaso Verde came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. Charlotte's design and the construction efforts of the team were professional and skilled. We particularly liked the ways she listened to the customer’s ideas and requirements and incorporated them with flare. Having one integrated team was a great bonus and facilitated the final look. Together we achieved the wow factor. We unreservedly recommend them.

Espaso Verde landscape design and construction were originally referred to us for the construction of our driveway entrance stone work. We were that impressed (We have yet to see as good) we asked that they would carry out all landscape design and construction for our property we are thrilled with the result. Many thanks to the team at Espaso Verde.

We made one of the wisest decisions during our building project, when we chose Espaso Verde to undertake the entire landscaping for our small section. We now have a garden we are proud of, with the minimum of disruption, one that complements our new home and each day gives us pleasure We are happy to recommend Espaso Verde to anyone contemplating a stress free garden landscape project

Charlotte, Jason and their team have been an integral part of our landscaping design and planting in what was an 18-month project. They are a professional, knowledgeable and passionate team who we have enjoyed working with. Charlotte's design skills are exceptional, she has a real talent and flair for landscape design. Jason and his team are true craftsmen, their eye for detail and hard intensive labour were outstanding.
