Testimonials

Couldn't ask for any more. Great communication, great team on site. Amazing design team and the quality is robust for the hard wearing of schools and kids! Like all landscaping projects - you pay for what you get! If you want quality and longevity with a great team driving the progress, look no further!

Matthew Williams

Greg, Steve and the team did a great job at our home in Milford on the North Shore while we were away overseas. It was not only us who were impressed on our return, but so many of our neighbours commented on Luijten's efficiency, tidiness and professionalism, which was pleasing to hear. Thanks guys, you were a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. I knew we'd be in good hands!

Peter Kay

Highly recommend these guys! I was totally bamboozled and confused about how the pool would look, how much it would cost, what would be the best option. Greg, the owner, sat down with me and went over every single little detail until we got a plan which suited us perfectly. They carried out the job over the next 6 months in a timely, caring, and professional manner, communicating clearly every step of the way. Jonas and the team were a pleasure to have around. We are SO happy with the outcome, they made the job breezy and put up with my confused head all the way through, explaining everything, sometimes more than once!

Fran McDermott

I’m absolutely thrilled with the service Branden Kipps provides in my garden. He’s always cheerful, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure everything looks immaculate—especially my hedges, which are trimmed perfectly every time. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I’ve been a happy client of Luijten Landscaping for many years, and Branden truly represents the reliable and friendly service they’re known for. Highly recommended!

Graham Russell

Highly recommended!! Luijtens worked on a significant landscaping project at our house in Mount Eden, where the importance of effectively using space was paramount. From the moment we met Greg we knew we were in safe hands. Great collaboration to get to a wonderful end-to-end outcome, and within our budget envelope. The team, from the designer Zlatko, to Jonas the PM and the working team of Tau and Jan were all exceptional. Great communication & collaboration, great problem solving when needed, great ideas when we needed some inspiration - and incredibly easy people to work with and have around our house. No hesitation in recommending their work!
