​Our experience with Tim Durrant was a huge success. Having rebuilt our home then required a full rebuild also of our garden.
​
Having a beach side property poses big problems with planting but Tim quickly came to grips with a plan that, in the front by the beach, saw him use coastal natives from Te Awanga and Ocean beach.
 
Further back on the property out of the range of salt spray he was able to include a far wider selection of natives and exotics. On the road-side, furthest from the sea he built a Mediterranean design including lavender and conifers.
 
Tim is inventive and imaginative with the hard-landscaping design and selection of plants, sourcing varieties, including a fully-grown transplanted hedge, at the best price from a range of outlets.
 
His design architecture of the garden was outstanding. A pebbled drive, concrete stepping stone paths poured on site, and some ingenious devices to cover and compensate for existing structural deficiencies in the site have all proved a great success. His in-ground watering system was his final triumph on a property prone to long, dry, summers.
 
We would have no hesitation in recommending him for his creativity and ability to bring a garden in on time and on budget.
