TESTIMONIALS

Would highly recommend Vyvian and Lotus Landscape Design From the offset they provided us with some stunning and unique ideas for our project. We live in Howth so the terrain is hilly and mainly on rock so we struggled to really see a vision. However, Vyvian immediately saw its potential and provided some excellent drawings and 3D pictures of what we could achieve. They managed the project with their chosen landscapers (Saxa Landscapes) and they also did all the planting. Frankly I cant quite believe the difference in how our gardens look, and when summer came and everything started to bloom it was simply incredible. I've only positive things to say about Vyvian and Lotus, professionally and personally they were a joy to work with and I'm extremely happy that we chose them.Read More

Couldn't he happier with the garden redesign undertaken by Vyvian and the team in Lotus. From design through to completion it was done with total professionalism. The finished product just gets better with time.Read More

Vyvian, Pat and the Lotus team brought our idea to life. We wanted an outdoor space that was practical and pretty. An extension of our house to add more living space, but also sheltered from the Wicklow weather. Vyvian took our brief and designed an incredible garden with a huge covered living/dining area complete with a BBQ kitchen. The team delivered on time and delivered on our vision. Everything we had hoped for and more. Thanks to the whole team! Would recommend a consultation with Vyvian if you are looking for similar. This has transformed our living space and we are now enjoying every minute of the summer regardless what the Irish weather throws at us.Read More

Overall we were very happy with the work carried out. Our garden transformed into a very inviting space and it now feels almost like an additional living space. Pat, who did the carpentry work was excellent and took great care to make sure everything was done to the highest standard. He also consulted with Vyvian whenever he needed to deviate even slightly from the plan. Aspects of the work did seem quite expensive which is why I have given it a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating.Read More

We had a fantastic experience with Vyvian, Pat and the team at Lotus Design. Our garden is a small space that had grass that wouldnt grow, old patio slabs, old fencing of all different heights and lots of overgrowth bulging behind them. For awhile we felt pretty hopeless that not much could be done to make it the serene crisp and simple space we wanted. However, Vyvian came to see us and spent time in the garden with us understanding what we wanted to achieve and reassured us that they could transform the garden, and they did! Not only did he draft up great garden designs for us, he was so patient in letting us tweak what we needed here and there. Once the job began, Vyvian checked in with us all the way along and was mostly on site with Pat and the team too. Pat was a dream to have in the garden, always happy to explain what they were doing and encouraged questions and communication. We felt in really great hands the whole way through the project which was finished to the highest standard we could have hoped for! Our garden is now the serene, crisp and simple space we wanted, its a new room to the house!Read More
