We are thrilled with the work

“We often recommend Green Giant Gardens for the planting implementation and maintenance of our gardens. We are thrilled with the work of Nathan and his team. It was especially rewarding to work with Nathan on the MacRae Landscape Design ‘Fiesta’ exhibition garden created for Grow ÅŒtautahi 2020. Nathan’s passion, skill and experience ensured the plants were well chosen, lovingly looked after and in perfect condition to exhibit.”

He has taken great care to listen

“I cannot praise Nathan highly enough. From initial briefing on hopes and dreams for the garden, through extreme overgrowth removal and tidy, to landscaping and planting, Nathan’s knowledge, skill and sheer hard work has constantly impressed. He has taken great care to listen to what I want whilst ensuring the planting is right for the location. I couldn't be more thrilled! I thoroughly recommend Nathan, who clearly loves plants and making them look their best.”

Plan, lawns, planting and irrigation

“We used Green Giant Gardens to plan and implement the lawns, planting and irrigation at our new build. We were impressed with the amount of work put into getting the soil right. We have seen planting failures in several of our neighbour’s gardens and didn’t want to experience the same problems. Our garden is filled with a healthy combination of plants that look like they belong together. The maintenance plan means we don’t have to lift a finger as it all just magically gets taken care of.”
