Micha Mahler and his team trading as Living Landscapes recently landscaped our residential property in Orewa. My wife and I were completely satisfied with his services from the initial planning stages through to the completion of the project. The work scope was completed on time and within budget.

Micha’s professionalism and knowledge combined with his creative abilities made him an obvious choice of contractor for our project.

His high quality work included a set of detailed plans, including detailed plantings, drainage, etc. He designed a superb tiled patio and garden for us and we have been thrilled with the result. The works included earth moving and the construction of attractive macrocapa retaining walls and planters. The resulting garden is both beautiful and functional.

I have no hesitation recommending Living Landscapes to anyone

When we built our new home in Leigh, our builder recommended contracting Micha Mahler to complete the entire outdoor landscaping. After consultation with us, he drew up a master
plan and then implemented this plan.

Micha managed the entire project from start to finish. This included: all hard landscaping which involved moving and reshaping thousands of cubic metres of earth; water drainage system; selection and planting of all trees/shrubs/greenery; installation of water irrigation system; mulching; building large raised vege beds; paving around pool, creating a macrocarpa boardwalk; sowing the lawn; installing a clothesline; constructing rock retaining
walls; concreting and sealing of all entrance walkways including a large courtyard. Micha also designed and built a water feature leading to our front door. As a master stonemason, he built our lounge fireplace (over 3 tonnes worth of South Island schist) which has become a major feature of our home.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Micha. He is an excellent craftsman, he completed the job within the time frame, within the budget with totally transparent invoices. We would be happy to provide more details or welcome a site visit.

Over the past three years I have worked with Micha Mahler in his capacity as a Landscaping tutor. Throughout this time Micha has proven himself to be very professional and reliable.

Micha has demonstrated an extensive knowledge base in both hard and soft landscaping. I have found his workmanship to be consistently of the highest standard. Micha is very personable and establishes a positive rapport with both his peers and students, using his open communication skills.

I have no hesitation in recommending Micha in any future endeavors.

I have been very impressed with the variety and high standard of the work that Micha has completed for us during the development of our new section. This included significant drainage improvements, landscaping and planting, installation of quality fencing and gates, a water feature and garden boxes.

Micha provided a friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional service which produced outstanding results.

I have had the privilege of knowing Micha for many years and have seen many of the developments he has been involved in creating and beautifying with his landscaping skills.

Personally I have sought his advice, used his expertise and engaged his services for a number of projects over many years, both commercial and rural residential, some of significant scope. I and my wife have always been pleased with his ideas, his ability to come up with solutions within specified budgets, and to complete work in an efficient manner to a high level of workmanship. He has consistently delivered pleasing results that
are all the more delightful to live with as a finished environment than the anticipation from planning stages lead us to imagine.

I appreciate too his honesty and integrity in his work and his interest in not just finishing the job well but in seeing that the ongoing development as plants grow progresses as
planned.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to all who are interested in getting a pleasing quality landscape job and in gaining a friend.

Working with Micha and his team on our project at the front of our house was a pleasure and it restored my faith that there are skilled contractors out there who know what they are talking about and delivered a quality finish. If your looking for an excellent Landscaper who from our experience Goes the extra mile, then you’ve found him. I would have no hesitation in recommending Micha for your Landscaping needs.
