Total Look Design

My garden is a fully established woodland in the city. There were two or three areas that needed attention and I was in need of help to get them sorted. Meeting briefly initially with Sheryl I was impressed with her ability to assess the challenges and suggest innovative and artistic solutions which complemented and enhanced the existing style and plantings. She is great fun to work with and a good listener! If you are starting from scratch or need help with developing further I have no hesitation in recommending Sheryl - her enthusiasm is infectious and her ability undoubted!Heather Loughlin

Sheryl was recommended to us by a friend. Sheryl made us feel passionate about our garden and really understood our needs for our garden from both a design and budget point of view. She was really inspiring and motivational.

“From the moment I contacted Sheryl her professional manner was obvious.An appointment was arranged, & on-site her artistic background greatly benefitted me as we talked & she sketched her vision of what I had described to her.Sheryl had a comprehensive understanding of the design principles of the specific style of garden I wanted, & she verbally explained those to me as we viewed the small area.I knew immediately that of the garden designers I had contacted, Sheryl was the 1 I would choose, so we then set about discussing specific plants & materials, & before she left she took precise measurements of the area to be developed.Her formal ‘plan’ was emailed to me within the timeframe agreed, & a hardcopy forwarded by post.Sheryl also made herself available to answer any questions I had, or modify the plan, if necessary.I greatly appreciated her empathy, friendliness & willingness to consider my expressed thoughts throughout the whole design process.My new garden progressed slowly, which ended up being quite helpful as I had time to review each step along the way, & discuss progress and/or delays, with the handyman I had found to help with the more heavy aspects of the task.When the garden was complete, it was as lovely as I had initially envisioned Sheryl’s design to be.I highly recommend Sheryl’s skill, talent & professionalism to anyone intending to design a new garden, or up-grade/re style an existing one, & compliment her on the awards she has already earnt in her business portfolio.SandraPapamoa Beach”

Sheryl did a fantastic job designing my landscape... beautifully worked in the low maintenance hardy flax's and grasses with other natives. She really knew her stuff and I always had total confidence in rolling with her recommendations...I carried on where she left off but always maintained a consistency to the original theme she laid out...thanks Sheryl!

Sheryl is very knowledgeable and passionate about plants, design and landscaping.She very quickly came up with some novel ideas to regenerate our garden.She was generous with her time and we look forward to working with her again soon.

Sheryl has a wealth of knowledge regarding landscape design, what materials and textures to use, and appropriate planting to create a contemporary look. She gave us an overall design for our pool area and surrounds, that incorporated some of our own ideas but with some additional design features to add clean lines and simplicity. Sheryl was very responsive to our needs and gave us exceptional service. Thank you Sheryl.

Sheryl was fantastic, we wanted a tropical garden and patio, she sketched our garden before sharing her vast knowledge and artistic flair showing us how we could easily achieve our dream.She talks you through what she envisages, then we looked at plants for the space, her sketch then comes alive with names of plants, how to soften walls, paving etc.and she leaves you with the confidence to achieve this.A truly lovely person and just so talented.

I loved Sheryl's visit and all the advice she gave me was fantastic. I felt quite overwhelmed with our garden design, but Sheryl made it very easy to understand how and what to plant. I feel so much more confident now to work in our garden and always remember lots of things she mentioned while I'm working. Sheryl went above and beyond and I was so grateful that she came out to our place. Thanks again Sheryl! Sarah
