Busy Lizzy has been maintaining my garden for a few years now and I cannot fault them. I have just added new pots and plants and once again they did an amazing job. With Jay overseeing the hard working team it was an awesome experience and I am thrilled with the results.

Busy Lizzy recently completed landscaping work on our somewhat challenging back garden area. Everyone I dealt with was professional and friendly, and offered great suggestions and feedback as the work progressed. We have been enjoying the view of the transformed garden while relaxing on our deck. Thanks Liz and team.

We contracted Busy lizzy for a Kwila deck and landscaping... the results and the process were faultless. You cannnot go wrong with them. Our outdoor area is transformed. The team really cares and know their stuff which shows. Liz has worked within our budget and was attentive to our needs while adding her expertise. Thanks again.

I'm so happy with Busy Lizzy's transformation of our outdoor space! The end result is everything I'd hoped for and more. The team are super-passionate and great at what they do - they listened really well to what I was after, were prompt with contact, and were efficient and hard-working when it came to delivering the project itself. Thank you so much! I'm so happy to have this lovely outdoor space as the summer comes in.

We shopped around landscape designers for almost four years after we moved into our house on a sloping site. We drew up a shortlist of four. Two of them didn't even reply to our enquiries. Two did. The only one who actually contacted us within minutes of our enquiry was Liz Bennett at Busy Lizzie. She was ready to come and talk on site the very next day. As soon as we met up, we felt that Liz and her team would be able to achieve what we needed to transform our garden. We didn't have the biggest budget in the world, but Liz was prepared to work with whatever we could afford to spend. The result is a total transformation of our garden. Everyone we dealt with at Busy Lizzie was a delight to work with. Big shout outs to Val, Jean Lucy, Ben and the rest of the team, too.

We couldn’t be happier with the garden maintenance service provided for our townhouse complex in St Mary’s Bay Auckland. The team is professional, reliable, and pays attention to every detail, ensuring the communal areas are always neat and well-maintained. The gardens have never looked better, and it’s clear they take great pride in their work. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality garden care!

I asked Busy Lizzy Gardens for help in planting out my gardens for winter and they sent 2 guys Anthony & Matt. These 2 guys did a really wonderful job, they were clear communicators and sort feedback to ensure the results were just what I was looking for. It was so good I couldn't have asked for better. I would definitely have them back to do my gardens again.

Can't recommend more highly. The entire team has fantastic communication, taking the time to explain everything well. The team always do a great job in the garden and the report at the end with photos of the work helps, especially because I'm currently living overseas.

We have just enjoyed the best experience with Busy Lizzy Gardens. We had such a weedy, grey rock wall that was crying out for some care. Not only did Liz, Val and team weave their magic to turn it into a feature rockery, they did it quickly, efficiently and with great communication. Would highly recommend the team at Busy Lizzy any time. A big shout out from us - thank you, we really appreciate the effort put into our garden - wasn't an easy job but result is fantastic!

The team at Busy Lizzy were great overall - from dealing with my initial enquiry over the phone, to getting a quote back to me quickly and then promptly setting a date for the work to occur. The work itself involved trimming back 5 established fruit trees, and underplanting and mulching with recommended plants, and I couldn’t be happier with the results - thank you all 😊!

After our trellis blew down I was worried I'd lose my climbing rose, but Liz and her team took some measurements, did some brainstorming, and came up with a creative solution that was within budget, saved my rose, and looks great. I was also impressed and grateful for her friendly professionalism, her prompt responses to my emails, and how quickly she was able to arrange the assessment, quote and work. I fully recommend Liz for any landscaping needs!

Liz and her team of skilled horticulturalists and tradespeople at Busy Lizzy Gardens are fantastic. We have engaged their gardening maintenance services for the past 12 months and recently engaged them to do a small garden makeover and replace a flight of garden stairs as well. Not only was the work completed to a very high standard, it was done quickly and with minimal disruption to our tenant. We live outside Auckland so receiving very regular photo progress updates was brilliant and reassuring everything was going to plan. We will certainly continue to use Busy Lizzy Gardens going forward and recommend them to anyone, you will not be disappointed. Definitely a 5 star rated business.

From start to finish of our garden project, it has been a joy to work with all the team at Busy Lizzy Gardens. We first met with the owner, Liz Bennett, to discuss the potential project - she had great ideas and then connected us with Lindsay, our landscape designer, who listened to our needs and created a beautiful design for our wee garden. The on site team who executed the project - Nathan, George and Tama - were total pros and wonderful human beings. We looked forward to their arrival each day and shed a tear when the project was completed and we knew they would not be coming back. Before he left, George did a beautiful job tidying up the garden and then took time to walk me through what I should do to keep the garden healthy/happy. Today we met with Jay (who heads up their maintenance team) to discuss ongoing garden maintenance and what I can do between their monthly visits to keep the garden looking great. We recommend the team wholeheartedly and are looking forward to an ongoing relationship with Busy Lizzy Gardens.

Absolutely delighted with our end result. Liz went the extra mile in communicating with me to get the job started. Then her team worked their magic; removed old plants and rubbish left in the ground from builders, planted out new garden, and left the job clean, clear and tidy. Our neighbours have all commented and complimented on a job well done. Would highly recommend.

I am the first to admit that I am not a gardener, but I knew that we needed some trees to be trimmed and 'something' to be done along the front and side of the house. The very efficient and helpful Liz visited, took photo's, made some suggestions, and agreed on a multi step quote to be undertaken as finances allow. Today, the boys had a timeslot earlier than planned and so they swooped in and did their thing. They arrived like the garden cavalry, all tooled up, with plants and stones on their truck. They were very polite, had a great sense of humour, and clearly love their job, and working for Liz. The resulting plantings look fabulous, and are low maintenance for our busy non-green thumbed family. They swept all the detritus up, and left the place looking spick and span. Tree trimming session is tomorrow, and I have no doubt that they will be as professional and efficient as they were today. Highly recommend Liz and her amazing team!

Very very impressed with the services of this company. My garden was a wilderness and they transformed it for me within a few hours. It would have taken me months of weekend work and now it looks fabulous. The plants they recommended are perfect for the location, the retaining wall (which was falling down ) has been repaired with impressive expertise and the garden looks beautiful. Friendly, hardworking and reliable staff who have sound knowledge and gave me excellent advice. Definitely 5 stars from me. A great company to deal with. Thank you Busy Lizzy's for a superb job.

We engaged Busy Lizzy to design and replant our garden, the job quickly took on more elements as we realised that they could do it all. This included retaining walls, new entrance way and a very clever upgrade to our carport. We couldn't be happier with the end result, high quality build work with a clever redesign. This crew are professional, creative, timely and the end result within budget. Highly recommend this local business.

We couldn't be happier with the guidance & skill shared by Liz & her team. From design, plant selection, locating tradespeople to getting in with shovels & invoicing, Liz & the crew were thorough & delivered. We needed help realising a vision for our small garden & she helped us achieve this in line with our budget & taught us heaps along the way. 100% would recommend & will be using again to keep the place looking fabulous.

Liz and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with. Liz managed to squeeze me in when they were frantically busy and did an amazing job and within the allocated time. On first meeting I felt I could trust Liz thoroughly. They are so professional in every aspect. Clayton, who Liz organised, was equally efficient, professional and lovely to work with. I can honestly say Liz and her team were a delight to work with and have in our garden and I am so thrilled with the result. I thoroughly recommend Busy Lizzy to anyone. Thank you team!

A fast, friendly and efficient garden maintenance service. Liz anticipated what we needed (almost without being told), provided good advice about what to remove and replant, and organised everything for us including all the waste removal. They arrived on time and worked so hard all day it made my back ache. The result is a sight to behold and we are very pleased with the whole experience.

My garden had totally got away from me and was full of old plants and had no structure or design. Liz came along and guided me through the process of ‘getting it sorted’. End result is a manageable garden with lots of interest. Thank you Liz and team for turning a problem into a result!
