Lotus Landscape Design

Would highly recommend Vyvian and Lotus Landscape Design From the offset they provided us with some stunning and unique ideas for our project. We live in Howth so the terrain is hilly and mainly on rock so we struggled to really see a vision. However, Vyvian immediately saw its potential and provided some excellent drawings and 3D pictures of what we could achieve. They managed the project with their chosen landscapers (Saxa Landscapes) and they also did all the planting. Frankly I cant quite believe the difference in how our gardens look, and when summer came and everything started to bloom it was simply incredible. I've only positive things to say about Vyvian and Lotus, professionally and personally they were a joy to work with and I'm extremely happy that we chose them.

Couldn't he happier with the garden redesign undertaken by Vyvian and the team in Lotus. From design through to completion it was done with total professionalism. The finished product just gets better with time.

Vyvian, Pat and the Lotus team brought our idea to life. We wanted an outdoor space that was practical and pretty. An extension of our house to add more living space, but also sheltered from the Wicklow weather. Vyvian took our brief and designed an incredible garden with a huge covered living/dining area complete with a BBQ kitchen. The team delivered on time and delivered on our vision. Everything we had hoped for and more. Thanks to the whole team! Would recommend a consultation with Vyvian if you are looking for similar. This has transformed our living space and we are now enjoying every minute of the summer regardless what the Irish weather throws at us.

Overall we were very happy with the work carried out. Our garden transformed into a very inviting space and it now feels almost like an additional living space. Pat, who did the carpentry work was excellent and took great care to make sure everything was done to the highest standard. He also consulted with Vyvian whenever he needed to deviate even slightly from the plan. Aspects of the work did seem quite expensive which is why I have given it a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating.

We had a fantastic experience with Vyvian, Pat and the team at Lotus Design. Our garden is a small space that had grass that wouldnt grow, old patio slabs, old fencing of all different heights and lots of overgrowth bulging behind them. For awhile we felt pretty hopeless that not much could be done to make it the serene crisp and simple space we wanted. However, Vyvian came to see us and spent time in the garden with us understanding what we wanted to achieve and reassured us that they could transform the garden, and they did! Not only did he draft up great garden designs for us, he was so patient in letting us tweak what we needed here and there. Once the job began, Vyvian checked in with us all the way along and was mostly on site with Pat and the team too. Pat was a dream to have in the garden, always happy to explain what they were doing and encouraged questions and communication. We felt in really great hands the whole way through the project which was finished to the highest standard we could have hoped for! Our garden is now the serene, crisp and simple space we wanted, its a new room to the house!

We were delighted to work with Vyvian and his wonderful team at Lotus. From our first meeting to completion of the garden project Vyvian gave us lots of ideas and worked with us to help get the best possible use of our space. His ideas covered the layout of the beds, grass, lighting, fencing, paving and gravel spaces, the reusing of existing plants and materials and finally the new planting to bring it all to life, with a fabulous focus on the textures and colours, with an eye to the seasons to ensure the garden would out a joy throughout the year. All in all a great experience. During the works, Vivian and his team were a pleasure to work with, neat and tidy (for a construction site!), accurate and confident in what they were doing, responsive and courteous at all times. Highly recommended.

Vyvian & The Lotus Landscape Team are incredible. Vyvian designed and created a whole new room in our home. He brings years of expertise, experience and passion. Throughout the journey I felt very confident and supported to make the right decisions. I didn't know where to start on the garden, but Vyvian took the struggle and the headache away. I adore the garden...its now my favourite room in the house! Thank you so much Vyvian & Lotus Landscape Design

Vyvian and his team were so professional and considerate when working at our home. The planning, and final result, more than met my expectations. Vyvian took into account everything we asked for. He made great suggestions for things that we didn't even think of. The garden is now an extension of our home, in full bloom and our favourite place to be! Thank you so much Vyvian, I'd recommend your landscaping to anyone!

Lotus and Vyv did a super job, working well with our Architect John Nolan and builder CBA Engineering on a significant ground floor extension/remodeling and coming up with a clever and beautifully planted design that gave us several unique and attractive garden spaces around the perimeter of our house each one with a different vibe but all still integrated. Still in its first year of growth but holding great promise for the future as it matures and we work with Vyv to make sure it stays special and exciting.

Vyvian and his team provided an excellent service. From the initial consult up until the post-project review, Vyvian took us through every step of the process in an efficient and diligent manner. We would gladly and readily recommend Lotus Landscape Design to anyone looking to transform their garden. We will be working with Vyvian again in the new year to improve our front garden after the excellent service we received in the back garden.

Vyvian and his team at Lotus did a magnificent job on our garden. It was a full-scale revamp to include total clearance of the old garden, laying stonework, installing a water feature, planting, and electrics. They are skilled, knowledgeable, pleasant, and — perhaps most important of all — genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. I had very high expectations for this project and Lotus exceeded them. I simply could not be more pleased with my new garden and am looking forward to seeing how it develops in the spring. I have no hesitation in recommending Lotus.

Vyvian and his team did an amazing job on transforming my garden and giving it a wow factor. The project from start to finish was professionally managed, within timelines and budget. The choice of planting is excellent. I am getting huge enjoyment from it. I highly recommend Lotus Landscape Design.

LOTUS LANDSCAPE DESIGN When you are passionate about your garden, choosing a landscape designer that suits your needs can be pretty daunting. In the spring of 2016 we had a beautiful but sadly neglected two-acre garden in Enniskerry Co. Wicklow. The site was in need of extensive renovation requiring both soft and hard landscaping. Several large trees needed to be removed for safety, large areas of brambles cleared, new lawns sown, new flower beds laid and irrigated and older beds rejuvenated; hundreds of metres of new pathways and perimeter fencing were required and a new entrance and driveway (framed with new planting) needed to be designed and built. Given the scale of the works, we interviewed several contractors. The one niggling concern we had was that most of Vyvian’s previous projects had been in rather exotic locations in the south of France, with different terrain, weather, soil and plant choices. We need not have been concerned. Lotus Landscape Design is unquestionably the finest garden design contractors anyone could wish for in Ireland. Throughout the project we found Vyvian and his team to be thoroughly professional, extremely courteous and 100% reliable. Our garden has been magically transformed and right now we are thoroughly enjoying Vyvian’s consummate skill as plantsman par excellence – the beautiful autumnal planting scheme he envisaged has been complemented by a riot of colour in early spring. Thank you Vyvian.
