Testimonials

We were always informed of what was happening and the work crew were friendly. There was little impact to our daily routine. We now sit in our outdoor living space when we come home; sometimes until late at night, when the feature lighting brings the garden to life. It feels like we are on holiday, even though we haven’t left home.
This was one of the standout gardens with lots of special elements.  It is a stunningly stylish garden with a range of outdoor functions that retain a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing planted backdrop.

This was a major garden makeover and by all accounts, was all the client requested – and more!

A subdued material palette of cedar, honed concrete, plaster, stone and steel combine to create a clean, functional range of spaces which enhance and honour the cedar-clad house.

The organic shapes of the masonry and paving, contrasted with the architectural rectilinear forms of timber elements and the predominantly native planting palette includes exotic accents of flower and colour, which accentuate the garden’s smart-casual feel.

I chose Natural Habitats when I was putting together a team of experts, because they were the leading urban landscape designers by reputation.

When I interviewed them, they got it.  They understood my passion for producing something amazing.
John Harman - Property Developer
These green walls are not only innovative, but they’re also great for the environment and for the health and well-being of the New Zealanders who’ll be living at St Marks.


That’s why we’re really pleased to see this exciting development achieve the very first Homestar Innovation Point.  Nice work St Marks and Natural Habitats!
CEO The NZ Green Building Council
