Testimonials
“Lisa was given the brief to transform our suburban newly acquired overgrown 62 ft back garden into a contemporary space. We needed this space to allow us to entertain guests and allow our young children to play and yet let us grow and cultivate a beautiful garden into the future. She took this brief and produced plans, ahead of time, that were far above our expectations for the space. When we got the area landscaped according to her plans we were ecstatic! It became an additional room onto the house for barbeques/relaxation as well as an amazingly colourful garden and play area for the kids. We were delighted with her professionalism, insight, inspiration and attention to detail!”
Yvonne Gibbs.
“I have worked with LMK Landscape for over 10 years and found the practice one of the few that deliver what the say they will deliver within the time periods. Good solid and practical design that are within budget and give value for money on Commercial and Residential green spaces. I would recommend Lisa to anyone.”
