Michelle was recommended by a friend as we were looking for a landscape gardener for our new project in Taupo.. We met with Michelle to discuss our property and our preferred colours and look. Michelle came to site and took the required details to create her plan. When we were presented with the plan and went through it in detail we were enthused by her vision and knowledge. Our property is finished now and the garden enhances our cedar house beautifully. It was a pleasure dealing with Michelle and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

Enjoy Melanie - Im sure we can find another area to work on soon...
Michelle listened to our ideas and our aesthetic preferences and delivered a garden design that matched exactly that. We wanted something low maintenance, simple, clean lines but still really beautiful, and she absolutely gave us that - she is definitely an expert in her field and her designs show that, we highly recommend her.

Michelle McD0nnell was very professional as she interacted with us for an overall landscape design She had a blank canvas for the plan as
it was a design for a new house. She listened to our ideas and then drew up a very attractive plan , complimenting our house design and we believe, adding good value to our property. Also we have received a lot of compliments on the finished garden form people walking past.

I loved working with Michelle. I had had disappointing experiences previously so was nervous about selecting a designer. However Michelle was both professional and approachable. She designed my relatively small garden, front and back, giving me exactly what I envisaged. Michelle was always available to discuss changes and new ideas, but was decisive in keeping the design on track. The result has been much admired but, more importantly, we are really delighted with it all. I recommend her without reservation.

I went to Michelle on recommendation and so happy I did. Michelle and team designed the perfect entrance garden, outdoor entertainment area, pool area and raised vegetable garden for me. My husband uses walking sticks or a wheelchair daily so Michelle incorporated ramps to allow full access to the house and garden from every door of our house. Michelle listened to what we wanted, altered design as needed and delivered the perfect plans. I also obtained names of sub contractor from her in regards job completion and picked Ultimate Landscapes who were brilliant, this showed me Michelle McDonnell Landscape Design stand behind all their recommendations and have quality people working with them.

So pleased it worked out for you all - enjoy.
Truly amazing design on the entire outdoor areas of our house. Michelle enhanced the look, feel and value of our home creating street envy and to this day it’s surreal. The Designs were to what we asked for and full use of space has made our home our sanctuary.

We approached Michelle to assist us with the design of a garden for our new build.
The site had three road frontages, so our priorities were to create some privacy, ensure the visitor entry on one road frontage was distinct from back entrance on the other road frontage and include sitting areas outside each bedroom. Also a priority was the flow of the garden around the house, low maintenance and a range of fragrant blooms for picking.
Michelle visited our site and prepared a comprehensive garden plan for review. Michelle made the whole process enjoyable and fun, completely allaying our concerns with creating a private environment on a very public site. Michelle recommended a planting plan and following discussion sourced the major structural planting elements. Her detailed plan, which we have implemented over the past 10 months was the blueprint for our contractors to follow.
We thoroughly enjoyed Michelle’s congenial approach to creating a garden that met with our wishes and we are delighted than within less than a year it is looking quite established and receiving glowing comments from our neighbourhood. We would happily recommend Michelle McDonell Landscape Design.

Michelle McDonnell Landscape has done an outstanding job in designing and delivering on that design to make our garden and home blend together as we desired. Michelle and her team of landscapers have been great to work with, we have found Michelle easy to engage and talk through ideas and to carry them out with her plan and onsite visits. Michelle has always been very friendly and wonderful to work with and we throughly recommend her and her team.

Thanks David and Nicola - great garden, great clients. Its going to all look fantastic once finished. Thanks
We are so happy we chose Michelle to design our landscaping. From our initial meeting we found Michelle knowledgeable and passionate about transforming our property into our private oasis.
We often have people from our neighbourhood walk past and comment on the design, impressed by the transformation and requesting details of the designer.
Michelle exceeded all expectations and we cant recommend her enough.

My wife and I enlisted Michelle's services after viewing a garden she had designed on Tower Road in Matamata; we were taken with the symmetry and choice of texture, colour and form of the plantings which portrayed an elegant ambience.
We are 3/4 of the way through planting to the plan and plants supplied on our own project now and are very pleased with the results, a little over a year on.
Michelle was very easy to deal with, a good communicator and provided our plan on time and as discussed; we would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone intending a larger scale garden design.
