“Laura has taken all the stress and indecision out of planning for our large garden areas. We knew we wanted something as beautiful as it is functional and she has done exactly what we asked, designing areas we never could’ve planned ourselves. The plans are very comprehensive but also easy to follow. The planting list is so helpful!

Laura is very talented and made the process so easy. We absolutely recommend her for any landscape design, big or small. ”

“Laura from Kawakawa Landscape Architecture recently helped us with our vision to create a beautiful landscape plan around our counselling cottage we recently built.

We were so stoked with her affordability, her experience and her ability to work with our rough ideas, and we now have a very good plan to work with! By using Laura through UpstreamNZ, this generated the equivalent of three subsidised counselling sessions - great to create impact with you Laura.”

“We are so glad that we engaged Laura to draw up a landscaping plan for us. We had no idea where to start. Now we have a vision for a beautiful, functional and fun outdoor area. Laura has designed a landscape for us that is workable within our budget and robust enough to handle two small children and a dog. Laura’s ideas are thoughtful and clever, and the whole process was much faster and more cost effective that we ever expected.

We are having a great time implementing the plan and are excited to see the outcome. It’s a brilliant time to be working on the garden while we are stuck at home. Thanks so much, Laura!”

“Laura has done an absolutely amazing Landscape design for our new home. She listened to our ideas and came up with something really special. We are super excited to see it come together in the future. Highly recommend Kawakawa”

“We have been pottering about the garden for ages but knew we needed a design. Thankfully, we were referred to Laura. Her knowledge, ability to listen and draw out of us what we liked and did not like was great and the design plan she produced was exactly what we wanted. It is a work of art in itself, even before we start the next stage of giving life to her design. Thank you Laura: you are a lovely person and awesome to work with. We will recommend you to others. ”

“Laura is super talented! Very focused on her customers needs and really wants to make a difference to her clients lives. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent knowledge and super helpful! Helped turned our new house landscape into something to be proud of!! ”

“Laura was excellent helping take me through the process step by step, giving me great advice and made the experience so easy. What i really like about the plan is that each area has its own unique identity, whilst each area seamlessly integrates with the next through clever use of paving and planting. I love native plants and Laura was a huge help with this, finding a great balance of native plants and exotic plants to bring different textures and colours to the garden. Thank you Laura for an amazing garden design. I will enjoy it for many years to come.”

“Laura is genuinely good at what she does! She goes out of her way for clients. I am grateful she was so thoughtful of my needs, coming up with the best solutions! I look forward to working with her again in the future! So artistic! Highly recommended!”
