Matt was exactly the right person for what I wanted, creative, knowledgeable, experienced and just lovely to work with to achieve this water habitat in my garden for native flora and fauna. I have provided a humble photo of my pond in its early stages. The plants will eventually drape over the pond and the submerged plants will cover the water more profusely for all the critters that live in and around. Reply: Thank you so much for the amazing review Lizzie! This was such an awesome project with a very special purpose and I am really looking forward to following the journey as it all establishes in.

Matt did an amazing job cleaning out our fishpond. It hadn’t been cleaned for 9 years and he managed to catch all the fish, clean it out and clean all the stones and now it looks fantastic and the water is crystal clear. All the fish are very happy. I highly recommend Matt and Southern Waterscapes Reply: Thank you for the amazing review Tracey. It was a pleasure and I look forward to the next time!

If you have been thinking about improving your garden, I recommend you give Matt at Southern Waterscapes a call. Redesigning our garden at the side of our house had been on our wish list for some years. So, you can imagine I had lots of designs in my head. We had to have moving water and a natural look. A google search found Matt at Southern Waterscapes. He was great to deal with from start to finish. He managed to translate my descriptions into two features, a pond-less waterfall and a pond. The visual link is perfect they look like they have always been there. Matt's ability to turn a scruffy weedy garden area into something beautiful makes him a true artist. It doesn’t end there. Having completed our beautiful water features Matt continues to provide support, advice and after care. Matt provides exceptional service going above and beyond our expectations. The addition of water to the garden has brought it alive. We added fish, but the frogs and birds found their own way. We have the perfect place to sit and unwind. It has changed the way we use our garden. Thank you Matt. Reply: Thank you for the amazing review Alison! It was a real pleasure working with you both and I look forward to watching the space develop in the years to come.

Matt interpreted our landscaping plans and worked with us to tailor a bespoke design for our house surroundings (in Lyttelton, a tricky site). Through stone walls, meandering grasses, boulder rock gardens, fern and tree plantings, rock slabs and decorative stone, everything was laid with a care and attention rarely seen. I would implore you to consider Matt and Local Landscapes for your next project, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Reply: Completely missed replying to this sorry! Thanks for the incredible review Chris. Looking forward to popping back at checking out how everything is settling!

Matt carried out repairs and a renovation around our swimming pool, building an fabulous new deck and landscaping the surrounding gardens. The result was amazing and we were really impressed with his efficiency, neat work and creativity. He is very knowledgeable about the type of plants to use for different situations, and his use of natural materials to complement them gives a very pleasing result. Reply: Thank you for the great review Rachel!

Matt of Local Landscapes was a pleasure to work with. He took our simple concept and recreated it into a wonderful meandering natural stream, that our grandchildren enjoy clambering over the rocks and up and down the stream and its waterfalls. We are delighted with the tranquility it has brought to the garden. What Matt and his digger achieved was awesome. We highly recommend his workmanship, integrity and creativity. Reply: Thank you so much for the wonderful review Anne. Its always a pleasure to work with you!
