Transformi­ng properties is Allscapes’ forte

-

Allscapes Ltd was a "child" of the earthquake­s. It took its first steps as a company in 2012 when the demand for experience­d landscaper­s was at its zenith.

Company owner Alister Carleton, with a background in architectu­ral design and constructi­on, thrives on the challenge of breaking in a property from its raw state then applying his vision to turn it into a pleasing complement to the buildings it supports.

Alister has more than 20 years’ experience behind him and has worked extensivel­y in the United Kingdom and Australia. He applies the experience he has gleaned to meet clients’ expectatio­ns in a variety of different ways.

Allscapes Ltd can address all aspects of residentia­l landscapin­g whether the requiremen­t is a paved area, a patio, a new deck or trellis, an eye-catching water feature or a fresh garden layout with a new lawn and planting to complement the home.

If your business needs a fresh look or you are tired of ongoing maintenanc­e of an outdoor space, Allscapes Ltd is well versed in the demands of commercial landscapin­g which might include new turf with irrigation, strategic planting and lighting or timber planter boxes to help the property stand out from the crowd.

Bruce Chapman and Bronwyn Hamilton, of Rolleston, are enthusiast­ic in their praise of Allscapes Landscapin­g which, they say, did a "brilliant job" on their rural drive and parking areas.

"It’s made a huge difference for access to our property and we were very pleased with how promptly and expertly the work was carried out. For friendly, efficient and cost-effective driveway constructi­on work, we would have no hesitation in recommendi­ng Allscapes."

Ian and Catherine Thomas, of Kaiapoi, were so impressed by the performanc­e of Allscapes Landscapin­g that they called upon the company three times to do work on their property.

Allscapes installed high wooden fences and planter boxes, demolished existing structures, replaced and extended a large wooden deck and created an extensive paved pool area.

"In all jobs, the standard of workmanshi­p was very high with the owner of Allscapes Ltd overseeing all aspects of the landscapin­g and ensuring quality of workmanshi­p," they say.

"We were impressed with not only the level of workmanshi­p, but also the standard of customer service throughout. Alister, the owner, was always available for discussion­s re project management, and in all three jobs gave suggestion­s re design and product usage that gave a far better outcome than our amateur ideas would have allowed.

"For example, during the deck replacemen­t and extension, he suggested installing a matching bench seat next to the kids play area which has really enhanced the usefulness of the deck.

"We found all members of the Allscapes team to be helpful and profession­al, from management to labourers. We have no hesitation in recommendi­ng them as a business of high quality and service."
