Head Teacher, 

Gate Pah Kindergarten

“The entry to our kindergarten was steep, difficult to negotiate and overgrown. We spoke to Olaf of Concept Landscaping and he designed and crafted a beautiful and functional new access. The path now flows down a gentle slope, through lush planting – creating the feeling of being led through the bush to the front door...”

Developer (C Henderson), Twelve Acre Wood

 “As developers of the 76 lot Twelve Acre Wood subdivision we were fortunate to contract Olaf extensively for 6 years to landscape the shared parkland and walkways as well aspects of our own private garden.  Olaf loves the materials he works with and this shows in the finished landscape. He determines the purpose of a project well. He also successfully incorporates existing plants and then works to create a landscape that is physically attractive, interesting and practical.”

“Late last year we had the pleasure of having Olaf complete some landscaping for us at our home.  We have a large residential property, which we wanted to landscape in 3 stages, focusing on 3 very different areas.  We had some idea of how we wanted each area to look and function, but were not sure where to start.

Olaf spent some time finding out about us and our lifestyle, before creating an over all concept plan for us to consider. He interpreted our needs perfectly and his ideas were right on the mark.  From there Olaf went on to complete our first stage of landscaping including construction of a gorgeous stone fire place, pergola, pathways and decking. As the garden took shape, Olaf kept us in the loop every step of the way, and he even managed to incorporate new ideas which evolved as he went along. He “really knows his stuff”, which meant he was able to adapt things very quickly.  Olaf was at all times friendly and professional. We have no hesitation recommending him to others.”

“Thanks for everything - really happy with the results...very painless process. We've renovated a couple houses and built a new one and you were one of the easiest people to deal with in my experience and did exactly what you said you would, on time, with no drama”...”

M. Mateparae, 

Papamoa Playcentre

“We contacted Olaf van der Beek of Concept Landscaping to provide ideas and a quote for this garden. Since our first contact we were very impressed with the work that Olaf has provided.  Olaf was very interested in what we were trying to achieve and provided lots of ideas of how we could reach this goal.  The plants he supplied were of excellent quality and are thriving and growing beautifully. It was lovely to see the care and love that he had for each plant he supplied and the effort he made to ensure they were positioned and planted so they would thrive.  We were very impressed with Olaf’s work… our members voted to go with Olaf because of the excellent quality workmanship.”

“Recently we needed a pergola for some much needed shade – inside and outside. Olaf’s excellent communication and especially listening skills were just what we needed“

Olaf developed a  “special feature for the children to explore and hide. They can also pick the flowers, peer through the vines and eat berries. Olaf has great imagination and this structure was built to last and encourage big imaginations.”
