"Alan and his team went above and beyond to fit us in to rescue a brand new retaining wall that was bowing out that had been built by another firm.

"We engaged Alan and his team to undertake a complete overhaul of our section. It was a significant landscaping project and we are extremely happy with the final result. The work included levelling the front and rear section, extensive retaining, concreting, fencing, building several pergola structures with roofing, full deck replacement and extension with new stairs, ground preparation for a pool, ready lawn, bespoke paving steps as well as planting a significant range of flora, which was… sourced at a competitive rate. There were some minor delays due to covid with staff illnesses and delays with supplies, price increases during the course of the project and lots of wet weather causing further delays however the end result is well worth it. He was transparent in his communication when we encountered challenges and we worked together to overcome them.

Alan and his team were professional, the quality of work was to a high standard and he was accommodating to all our requests.

Alan is also a very approachable and likeable person and we would use his team again for future projects."

When we returned home my husband was pleasantly shocked and overwhelmed to see that the feijoa trees were gone (we never ate them so there was always a lot of wastage even after giving them away and I hated the waste) he… had a very big garden to plant and make his own. Alan communicated well with me prior and during the work and his team did exactly what was asked of them and within the timeframe given to them.

"The owner of this company, Alan Collingwood, is a hard working honest person who delivered what he promised. His work ethic is shared by the people he employs.
We hired them to dig out old asparagus roots out of 2 big vegetable beds. The roots went down 40cm deep and were a thick entangled mess, the whole top soil layer had to be removed manually, no access for machinery. While discussing the job with us, Alan even took the trouble to schedule it on a dry day and use a SUV with a trailer not… a truck, not to spoil our lawn, although big volumes of soil and bark were moved.

The guys turned up on time, worked hard for several hours, cleaned up, were efficient and polite. We asked for more bark to be brought, they complied, although it was past 5pm.

Couldn't wish for a better outcome, very happy with the results, definitely will cooperate with them again!"

Alan and his team were all very approachable, super friendly and very professional.
We needed our work started and completed
At a certain time in order for us to be able to move in to our new property.
It wasn’t a small job with close to 400 meters of fencing, decking and new gates to be installed in less than 2 weeks.
Since then we have used their services on many occasions for a number of different jobs including, planting out our banks, laying new lawn for us and… general tidying up of the wet areas in our property.

Overall we are extremely happy with both the service provided and the workmanship and would happily recommend Tauranga Landscaping.

"Alan has an amazing eye to transform garden spaces. We never thought that unused small area on top of our retaining wall will become this useful. Thanks to his experience, now that area is a nice large raised veggie garden. We have spoken to a few other franchisers as well, but no one came up with this brilliant idea. Alan is excellent at sharing his experience to direct us when we were struggling to choose the best option. We are very happy with the quality of work. Always contactable which is… very important :) Allan did most of our landscaping including wooden and metal fences, gates, large deck, paving stepping and garden stones, planting and even creating the custom wooden garden shed.

We never hesitate to recommend him for anyone who needs someone clever from local."

"Alan provided us with exceptional service. He is enthusiastic and a great ideas man, who is an excellent listener. Alan communicated well, and he kept in touch if plans needed to change. He always followed through with what we had discussed. Alan is passionate about his work, and his creative ideas reflect that. We are very pleased with how Alan transformed the back bank at our place, which was unusable space in its original form. The 'top deck' is now an accessible haven, with views that… we can appreciate in comfort."

Alan Collingwood responded:

"Thanks for the honest feedback. Through the time we were doing your work we were short of experienced staff so had to keep changing plans or training staff. Pleasure working for you. Regards. Alan "

"Alan and his wife Rosina did a lot of work on our property when my husband was unable to do it. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They arrived when they said they would and did everything we asked them to do. They cleaned all the pruning away and the suggestions that they made were very helpful. I would certainly use them again."

"Alan is a very personable and conscientious guy who really strives for customer satisfaction. We were very pleased with the end result of both landscaping jobs he did for us in June & October of 2018. The only negative was in his pricing on the second job where the final cost was nearly 50% higher than his original verbal estimate."

Alan Collingwood responded:

"Thanks Tony. Yes sorry for the extra cost. Sometimes with landscaping it takes a lot longer than original estimates due to large roots or other difficult conditions. We did our best. Regards. Alan "

"My section was in a terrible state, very over grown and unmanageable for me on my own. I asked Alan to come and take a look and give me some ideas on how we could make it less maintenance. I have a lot of trees on the property some of which needed pruning and some removing, also some big overgrown gardens and a very big felled palm tree. Alan really listened to me and what I was after. He came up with a plan to put rock gardens in throughout, remove a few trees to open it up and plantings of… easy care grasses and shrubs. The first day they were onsite I came home from work and was just blown away with the transformation already! At the end of each day the place was cleaned up beautifully and the guys were all so friendly and professional. Their health and safety and PPE gear was on point, I was so impressed. Happy to reccomend you and your team Alan."

"We were in a urgent need of our lawn repairing as we had just built a new home and about to move in the lawns were a mess uneven ground and the grass was weeds and dirt, The home builder was not interested in fixing it as they us a subcontractor.
so one phone call to Alan at Tauranga landscaping our worries were over amazing job and awesome guys with great ideas.
We got Alan back a second time to do our front lawn people still comment on how great the lawns looks, the great thing was Alan pop… in to make sure we were happy with the lawn. (Not a flyby nighter)

We got Tauranga landscaping back a third time to do some more garden edging.

We would only recommend Tauranga Landscaping"

"We have been extremely lucky to come across Alan and we will be using him for many future projects. He was very patient with us and made sure we fully understood all aspects of the project before going ahead (building a fence). He did not pressure us at all and even made sure we had enough time to decide.
He described all options to us and was transparent with all costs so that the quote was accurate and adhered to our budget. He is efficient and both he and his team work incredibly hard.… Because we were so happy with the fence (and also such reasonable prices) we were able to ask him to re-do a lot of the garden and plant extra trees and greenery."
