We hired Maximize Design to landscape our front and back garden. Max is a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He took our blank canvas and gave us an out door room that incorporates all our family needs. A picture that we will love for years to come... we now have the garden of our dreams! Thank you so much Max. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAX & HIS TEAM!

We hired Maximise Design to landscape our back garden. From the first visit it to the last, Max was a pleasure to deal with. Max listened to our needs and realised our vision for our child friendly yet aesthetically pleasing outdoor space! We were not disappointed with Max’s design and work ethic. All his crew were respectful of our young family and worked around the weather to get our garden transformation done as quickly as possible. We have a mixture of areas including artificial lawns, planted areas, granite, cobble and ceramic tiles all transitioned with a beautiful design highlighting the curve on our outdoor laundry and shed building. We have a lot of glass at the back of our house so the view from inside was always key to our finished look. We were not disappointed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maximise design.

Max has just finished a project in our back garden [July 2019] as well as fixing a bad job from another gardener in our front garden. Overall it cost in the region of 10K. We had our ugly and very big back wall cladded in wood with Max's own design, our planters which runs the perimeter of our garden were topped with soil, bark and with bamboo planted. We had 6 artificial bay trees planted against the cladding on the back wall with gorgeous white decorative stone added to the planters. The artificial grass and planters had already been put in by a specialist in artificial grass. What we wanted from Max was to bring everything together and create a wow effect with the back wall cladding... and we definitely got that!

After numerous calls and numerous visits form people who didn’t really listen or understand ( I searched the city), Max was a gift that kept on giving. Max, answered my call, listened to me and called me back when he said he would. He visited , we talked & talked and he listened to my brief, give me a plan that exactly fulfilled my brief, but he added the creative to my practical requirements. I have a garden that kids and adults can use and enjoy. It is now admired and envied by all who see it. Max and his team were an ease to have around my home for about 4/5 weeks . They did the job and respected my privacy. I have no hesitation on recommending this wonderful team.

We hired Max and his crew to re-design our back garden. We have an old house with a walled back garden, and while we wanted some clean lines and a modern feel, we also wanted the garden to be sympathetic to the age of our home. Max worked with us to come up with a design that met all of our needs while incorporating his flair for design and functionality. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. Some well positioned lighting and small subtle water feature stones compliment some of the older elements of our garden and combine to create a sense of calm and lack of clutter. Max is a consummate professional- he is a delight to work with and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking to transform their garden and outdoor living space. Thank you Max!

We hired Maximize Design to landscape our back garden in autumn/winter 2018. They transformed it from a building site to a gorgeous, glamorous yet functional garden that really works for our family. They worked constructively alongside our architects and builders to produce a garden that incorporates everything we need, including children’s play area (with sunken trampoline, swings and artificial grass); espalier fruit trees, herb garden, lawns, paved area with pergola, and extensive planted, raised beds. We could not be happier with the outcome, and would happily recommend Max and his team to anyone undertaking a similar project.

Max and his team refurbished our driveway (plastering walls, removing existing step, laying new granite step and planting) and we were delighted with the finish. Particular thanks to Andy and John. The lads worked in bitterly cold conditions and the quality of the work was fantastic. Max was very professional and was available every day to discuss the project and made sure the work was completed to a high standard. Highly recommend this company.

Max and his team did a fantastic job on our back garden. It was a very tricky project because the garden was on a very steep hill but they managed to completely transform it. Max really helped us the whole way along from the initial ideas and design right up to the end of the works. His team are a nice bunch of lads, punctual, reliable, and hard working. They are very knowledgeable on both landscaping and horticulture and had no problem answering all our questions and fitting in our little extra additions and changes. We absolutely love our new garden and are delighted with the finished result.

It was so enjoyable working with Max and team/ I highly recommend them for garden design and build- everything exceeded my expectations. What I liked was how practical Max was, retaining any existing features and building on them- including placing a roof over an used space so we can now store our bikes etc Thank you Tanya

Max and Andy were true professionals and I could not recommend them highly enough. We got our front garden redone to include a seating area, low maintenance planting, a number of retaining walls and ramp access to the front door. Max couldn't have been more accommodating drawing up various options and accompanying quotes. He worked to give us the best finish possible within our budget and had some amazing ideas. Both Max and Andy were a joy to have around the house, and were so clean and tidy. They did such a great job and we are delighted with the result. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Very professional. Very satisfied with the driveway they completed at my house, the completed job exceeded my expectation. It looks clean, neat bright & cheerful. Equally they communicated what they were doing & cleared up after themselves every evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
