TESTIMONIALS
Philip Hamilton, M.D. Oamaru
I am writing to strongly recommend and endorse the service provided by Carl Pickens.
We were impressed by his winning design at Ellerslie Flower Show and contacted him to help us design a large pool-side pergola at our home in Oamaru.
Carl provided an exemplary service, listening attentively to our requirements and came up with helpful suggestions. He developed a scheme which was well thought out, practical, and provided for our needs. It is highly original and attractive.
He contacted and negotiated with suppliers and managed the entire project in a faultless manner.
I can personally recommend his design and management service.

Take Five, by Carl Pickens, was a stunning combination of sustainability and beauty. He had vertical plant walls (edible and not), slimline rainwater tanks, compost and worm farms, boardwalks made of vitex from Greenpeace’s Solomon Islands plantation, permeable pathways so all water returned to acquifers, and tiled roof gardens roofing his shade structures. All this, and he managed beauty as well.
