Create-A-Scape Landscaping
Landscaping Services in Upper Hutt

"Nothing but good things to say about Gavin. Friendly and straightforward communication, honest pricing, and above all expert advice and workmanship. Gavin built a new decked area for us in the front garden, with seating, and while he was at it cut back and replanted the entire border. It is looking spectacular. He also took on a boggy grass area to the side of our house that we didn't know what to do with. His proposals to clean it up and make it a usable area were practical, decently priced, and above all it now looks great. You can tell by everything he does that he loves his job and is rightfully proud of delivering something great."

"We were very happy with the work that Gavin did, his digger managed to access our backyard and he worked very quickly to remove a lot of bushes and dig out a large platform to lay 72 large paving stones with a brick border. We now have a lot more useable outdoor space and would be happy to use Gavin again if any other landscaping work is required."

"Gavin had a real professional and caring attitude to our whare and the ideas we had for our section. He went out of his way to source a statue that fit and build a lovely deck area. He transformed a drab tiny section into a comfy low maintenance sun spot. He left our section clean and tidy at the end of everyday. The price I paid was all agreed before work started, all extra costs were due to changes we wanted. Highly recommended, Gavin is great!"

"I found Creat-a-Scape through No Cowboys reviews and thought I'd give Gavin a yell and see if he could make our backyard awesome. Gavin came out on a weekend and hid his shock at the very unkempt courtyard and seemed pretty confident he could make it beautiful within our tight budget. He was very successful! Worked really quickly, took out some trees and stumps and covered our 1964 concrete steps and pathway with lovely kwilla. Created new stairway to the very backyard and beautiful decking and raised garden area which was planted out. Looks freaking great! Gavin was really easy to work with, never pushed our budget, let us know if there was 'scope creep' when we were talking about things outside of the agreed work. Highly recommend Gavin. He's an awesome creator of beautiful spaces, communicative, understanding, kind and a laugh."

"I used Create-A-Scape Landscaping to revamp my driveway. It needed 1950's broken concrete slabs dug out and removed, a new foundation (basecourse) layer and new aggregate spread for a level finish. Gavin was awesome to deal with the whole way through. He came with great ideas on how to get the best look that didn't break my budget. He was good to communicate with, always turned up on time and did a great job. He even loaned me a few tools so that I could complete some concrete edging.
Gavin enjoys his work, and it shows in his willingness to create a really good result. I'm very pleased with how our driveway revamp turned out and will definately use Gavin again in the future."

"My old deck was in terrible shape and was definitely a cowboy job. There was a big step down from inside the house and to get off the deck there was a fairly small concrete slab which again was a big step down. The deck itself felt like it was about to collapse in places and the nails constantly had to be hammered back in. While recovering from a broken ankle it became very clear something needed to be done. I asked Gavin to give me a quote and was very impressed with the suggestions he made. I hadn't even considered the option of raising the height of the deck and that has been a real game-changer. As he demolished the old deck it was shocking to see the state it was in and how the roof supports were only secured by a couple of nails. The joists are now spaced correctly and well secured, everything is screwed down, pipes and columns are now properly boxed in, the ugly concrete surround is hidden, I have two wide and safe steps down to the ground level and I can now step out of my house comfortably. The deck looks beautiful and I got wonderful compliments from friends even before the job was finished. Gavin is a craftsman who takes real pride in his work, a hard worker, a great communicator, and someone who really thinks about what is going to work for his client. I didn't expect to love my deck, but I do!"

"Gavin did an awesome job on my little landscaping project. Our house is back to front so the back of the house is what you come to from the street, south facing and was very uninviting and always dank and soggy in the winter. The front door is on the other side of the house so it was just a sliding door straight into the dining room and there was no overhead shelter for people coming to the property from the street. I had a couple of 'must haves' such as a covered deck and the remaining ground area covered with something other than grass, but no real plan or idea of the end look. Gavin listened to what I wanted, talked me through it, and gave me some ideas to keep within budget so really helped me see the potential end product. I had no hesitation to book him to do the job. The end product is now low maintenance, more welcoming and covered for people coming to the property. Gavin was awesome to work with, as I was home while he was here working, so he had to put up with me watching the process and chatting from time to time! He turned up when he said he would, let me know if he was held up picking up supplies etc, he is a great tradesman and person overall. Very skilled at what he does and figuring out tricky parts of the project, which is testatment to how booked up he can get! I already have some other work I want him to do when finances allow."

"I found Gavin's business on No Cowboys. I was impressed by the comments left by previous clients. Initial contact was effortless and I felt confident we could work together. This turned out to be the case as we discussed and decided upon concepts, limitations, budget, likes, dislikes, timelines and expectations.

The work consisted of clearing out a very old, utilitarian backyard that had evolved from property's previous life as a rental. Since then house had been renovated and a wow courtyard to walk into from french doors and veranda was the dream.

Second phase was to be the development of a very basic front garden into an area that had a 'romantic' garden feel.

Gavin discussed all steps as he went, explaining how and why and listened to our thoughts and the plans and work happened organically, meaning we could explore new ideas as the opportunities arose.

The work in the courtyard (to be) consisted of removing existing veranda and rebuilding a slightly larger, stylish veranda more fit for purpose;
removing existing concrete paths; removing existing washing line and structure; removing topsoil, grass and excavating to required level; packing in base materials, building a pergola, building numerous screens, garden beds, edging and fence and paving. When I came up with the idea of travertine laid in a french plan, Gavin said ok. As we have a dog and often many visiting dogs, we also required a strip of grass, hidden behind pergola and running the length of the house to be installed. All this work had to be done while working from a dual access driveway, where rear neighbour had to have constant access. We discussed screening from neigbours at critical positions in new courtyard and new sceens, or heights were rethought. Planting was discussed, garden centres and nurseries visited and as the planting took place the magic began to happen in a courtyard that already exceeded expectations.

Gavin arranged for an electrician to install outdoor plugs, which meant lights could be installed on the pergola, creating a soft and inviting atmosphere, especially when soaking in the new cedar hot tub!

I couldn't stop going out to admire our new private, perfect courtyard. We were going for a kiwi take on a mediterranean/european courtyard and the result is perfect for us. We recently celebrated Father's Day with a breakfast in the courtyard with most of the family gathered. They were amazed at such a peaceful feeling in the middle of surburbia and the private haven it has become.

I was so in love with our courtyard, I didnt see how the front could possibly be as good...

Gavin returned shortly after this to begin a similar process on the front yard. He found solutions (as with courtyard) for the lack of materials available, often saving the budget a little; Gavin incorporated ideas for drawing details of house into pergola and arbour to give the feeling these new structures had always been there. Again the design had orgainic elements, which meant all opportunities for ehancing the design were taken, where possible. As before, Gavin explained his methods as he went and very quickly the 'bones' of the new design appeared. By this time we were heading from Autumn to Winter and weather was even worse than the fairly wet summer. Weather is not a deterrent for Gavin! We found out early on, he will generally continue to work in the most appalling of weather, which meant the timeline was very close to prediction. The completed front garden has blown us away and now we can't decide which area is our favourite. Magic happens when you enter the front garden. Friends and family struggle to compare before and after. As with the courtyard it will take a few years for the planting to fully mature and as they do the area will continue to evolve. The front will become more like a garden room. We have watched passersby take in the developing front and now they stop and peek through gate and we see the smiles on their faces. A little bit of old-fashioned, semi-formal magic to suit our lovely old house.

I am not an experienced gardener. Gavin has encouraged me to prune a little here and there, instructed on watering and things to watch for and assured me he will keep monitoring as areas grow and will do a maintenance check from time to time. He is passionate about plants and enjoying them and taking care of them and this has helped my confidence and increased my enthusiasm. I'm already feeling the excitement as plants grow, bud, flower etc, as perfumes waft past as I enter the garden. It's that beautiful!

A huge thank you to Gavin for the hard work, creativeness, talent, skills, knowledge and experience that enabled our magical spaces. I have no hesitation in recommending Gavin for designing and bringing your outdoor dream to reality."

"Gavin did a fairly big job for us, removing old screens, deck, pergola, large amounts of concrete before leveling and preparing the site, rebuilding the screens, adding gates and finishing off with a beautiful kwila deck and planters. He also did the prep work for the area which had artificial turf laid, and dealt with the sub trade on that.

It all looks fantastic and the quality is great, Gavin always talks you through options and explains why he uses certain techniques and materials - I think we could drive a tank over the deck!

Gavin is super reliable and a great guy who takes pride in his work and will inform you about every little decision as he goes. Looking forward to getting him back to do a couple of other bits."

Gavin came highly recommended from three of our friends who I all have high standards and expect quality work.

"This is the second job that Gavin has completed for us, because of moving properties. Gavin was instrumental in designing our back yard into something that we never thought possible. We now have such a lovely outdoor area that has been paved, along with built in seating that looks onto an amazing garden. We advised Gavin that we wanted a water feature and somehow, he managed to bring it altogether. It is absolutely amazing, and we have received such positive feedback from family and friends. Gavin visited us and discussed several options before we settled on one. He provided us with a quote – which he stuck to – and completed the work as scheduled.

"We employed Gavin to re-develop our sloping back yard earlier in the year and we’re thrilled with the final product.
We initially met with Gavin in late 2019 to discuss the project and were immediately impressed by the great ideas he had on how best to utilise the space. After considering a couple of proposals he put in front of us, we decided to proceed with the option that involved flattening and laying turf on a section at one end of the lawn to create a play area and building a small deck at the other. The work kicked off in Jan and was eventually completed - following a short delay for the lockdown - in early May. Throughout the process Gavin did a great job of managing all the tradespeople involved and communicating to us on progress and the next steps. He also regularly consulted with us on some of the projects minor details to make sure we were getting exactly what we were after.

"Overall, an excellent job completed by a professional team. A positive aspect was also their feedback and advise during the project - they provided options to our initial plan and during the work keep us abreast of any changes etc. Highly recommended."
