Outstanding company, incredible vision and attention to detail in every respect of implementation. One of the few companies offering a turnkey solution from vision to design videos to total implementation.

After requesting quotes from a few different suppliers, The Friendly Plant immediately stood out. They clearly understood what we were trying to achieve and created a plan for our garden that was creative and well-considered. They were great at keeping us informed at every stage of the project and quick to respond to comments and queries. They are perfectionists in every way, which made the installation stress-free and really shows in the magnificent end result.

Excellent service. Project managed very well. Constant upades and communication. Unique concept of planning everything to the finest detail before any work is done which give the client a very good idea of what to expect.

Very professional ito design andn interaction. Installed the garden (front and back) quickly and to spec with min disruption to household, irrigation system and estate complex. Follow ups good and v limited snag list / rework. Next time would go for the 3D colour design (charge for this) merely to assist in visualising garden. They made good use of existing plants where they can and 4x weeks after installation, their plants all looking good.

The service we received from The Friendly Plant has been excellent. Our garden was transformed in a matter of days and I'm so excited to see everything gin full bloom. Kyle was on site with the team every day overseeing their work - he is very friendly and knowledgeable. Craig has been very patient and accommodating and I would definitely use TFP again, and highly recommend their service.

Very professional and friendly! I have never seen such an organised company in landscape architecture. Just from a brief explanation and a few pictures I was given a rendering of exactly what I wanted... maybe even better. Thank you Pauli. Highly recommended!

Quality, excellence and attention to detail - those are the first words that come to mind after having The Friendly Plant install my garden. Craig and his team are the most professional building / garden contractors that one could hope for. Nothing was too much trouble, even as I changed my mind about things along the way, Craig and his team went out their way to ensure my satisfaction. Never once did I hear 'no', but rather - 'absolutely, let's make that work'. Their friendly and respectful approach went a long way. The quality of the workmanship is something that stands out immediately, this is a company that does things properly. To say I am satisfied would be doing The Friendly Plant a disservice - I am bowled over and extremely happy with the project. Well done Craig and your team.

The service provided by The Friendly Plant can be described as professional and well managed. A dedicated supervisor and team were assigned to the project and easy to work with. The Friendly Plant listened to our needs and creatively included it in the final solution. The level of the work was of outstanding quality. The end results exceeded our expectations. The Friendly Plant is highly recommendable.

Commented: CostNo problem... you may be able to find an additive for the plaster mix that will give the plaster more elasticity (and therefore less cracking)
