"Deborah designed an outdoor retreat space for my family here in Singapore which had many restraints placed on her. The previous space was subject to variable lighting and water runoff from our roof which ruined the grass and created mud which our children spread throughout the tiled spaces. We wanted the space to be family friendly, peaceful, durable, low maintenance and not too expensive. She listened and worked with us to identify our needs and produced a design and product that we are exceptionally happy with. Her professionalism and personable conduct was outstanding. Deborah considered the eco psychology side of the design by considering the child friendly and dynamic dimensions of the space. All our neighbours have commented on the extension of the green space that this has had on our immediate surroundings. The water feature has added a relaxing background chattle to the courtyards. The increase in birdlife has been a noticeable characteristic of the new plants in the garden, with sunbird visiting regularly throughout the day to feed on the plants. Deborah was always open to communication channels and assisted in providing not only the planting list and design but suitable locations for the suppliers of these plants in our local area. I have no hesitation in recommending her services as a landscape designer." Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity. -Nick Coulter.

“Building a house in Singapore is always a challenge and getting the landscape right was critical to us. Debbie provided great insights to creating a tropical feel that matched our home, was easy to maintain and also reflective of the environment. She took the time to analyse our plans for the house and ensure we had our contractor provide the necessary work for our garden. Debbie’s understanding of the plants and ensuring correct mix was instrumental in the achieving the perfect garden. Im happy to recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a complete garden solution." - B&T Serangoon area, Singapore (Landscape Design Concept, 2009)
