Planting design and plan
Job description
Published: 7 January 2021
Hi. I’ve just completed hard landscaping and lawn. But have empty fence lines and planter boxes to fill. Looking for someone to help design and plan plantings around the entire property. In general looking for an interesting mix of plantings around the property including along fence lines, driveway planter box, decking planter boxes. Examples of plants I quite like include fruit trees, puriri, Sakura, ginkgo. Evergreen and seasonal. Overall interested in variety, colour, ease of maintenance. Intend to do most of the planting myself.

Reasonable end product. Not particularly innovative. Didn’t ask me many relevant questions such as what pets I might have or whether anyone in the house has allergies. Hence proposed a high irritant tree right in front of my sons room. Also no review of the end plan with the customer was accepted as it was “not a discussion” (the engagement and plan) rather his “opinion if he was to plant. He did complete the work significantly faster than he estimated.

Tradesperson reply
"To put in perspective; we agreed onsite on a price. The work was done faster than expected so I invoiced less than agreed, yet he rated Cost 4/5. I was told about the allergy so recommended 2 non-allergy trees. He viewed our work before going ahead & was aware of the style of our designs. I worked over the weekend to get the job done early & didn’t charge for extra design work requested. Followed up 3 times to get payment, suggest caution for others using Trevor Delany"
