what my clients say
I'm proud of the outdoor spaces I’ve helped bring to life - and even prouder of the feedback I’ve received along the way. Hear from some of my happy clients and see what they had to say about working with me.
We really enjoyed the whole process with Jo. We had a few simple ideas, but Jo added a lot and bought it all together wonderfully. Her knowledge of plants is amazing and the details of the plan makes it very easy going forward

Jo from indetail created a fantastic garden design plan for our new build in tamahere, Hamilton. The plan was worth every cent. It was easy to follow and inspiring. In particular, her pool design was brilliant with all the little details, creating a pool area that's not only beautiful but so practical. She thought of everything, and we were so happy with how our garden looks. We can't wait to add all the further aspects of the plan. Thanks so much Jo, you were so fun to work with, loved your wisdom, creative ideas, and the practical way you put it all together for us.

From the initial consult and draft designs, through to the 3D walk-through online and final plan, Jo from Indetail was nothing but professional, approachable, practical and knowledgeable. She really listened to what we were hoping to achieve, how we wanted to use the space and the stage of life we were in. She managed to bring it all to life for us through colours, textures, structures and plant selections. Our house has become our home and that is credit to the wonderful landscaping that completes it. Thanks a million!

We engaged Jo to help us create a landscape design for our 1/4 acre property. We weren't 100% sure what we wanted, but we had a fair idea of what we liked. Jo was fantastic at guiding us through the different options available, and to narrowing it down to a final product. She showed a very deep and broad knowledge about basically everything we wanted to know about, and helped us to appreciate and understand the space we had available much better. Jo's designs were very well laid-out and we're really stoked with the finished product and can't wait to get started on it!
She was always super friendly and helpful, and we know that our job was a bit more complex than expected, but she was happy to stick with the quoted price, which we were very impressed with! We are so glad we chose Jo and would recommend her or use her again in a heartbeat! Thanks again Jo, really appreciate it!

I am pleased to provide this reference for Jo, who was instrumental in designing the garden for our newly built home in Karaka. Throughout our collaboration, Jo combined creativity with practicality to the project. Her extensive experience, insightful recommendations and thoughtful plant selections not only met but exceeded our expectations, providing us garden spaces that are both visually appealing and easy to maintain. Jo was always readily available to offer guidance whenever needed. Jo’s contributions have significantly enhanced both the aesthetics of our new home and our enjoyment of living in it.

Jo has a real passion for gardens with a natural talent for design whether it be a small difficult area or a larger one. Much appreciated was the time given to me by Jo during the planning for my garden. This was shown to me by the way she drew and coloured an accurate to scale plan of the space involved and was able to provide pictures of plants and shrubs that we both thought would suit the garden. The design phase was presented both clearly and concisely, so I was able to imagine the finished garden with written information on the particular plants and how to care for them.
Jo divided the garden into areas with appropriate costings for each. Jo worked hard and enthusiastically. In addition, I found her to be both reliable and consistent, always being here when she said she would, a little unusual these days.
I would recommend Jo to anyone intending to create a new garden or refreshing an older one.

Hi Jo, just a couple of pics to let you see how well your work is looking👍,
lots of compliments and we’re stoked with how well it’s all come together. Again thank you.
Cheers,
Neil, Te Kauwhata
Jo Hosking designed a fantastic garden for us from a complete blank canvass on our new build. She listened carefully and drew up plans that were both practical and beautiful for the type of garden we had in mind. She incorporated our wants and needs as well as some innovative and clever ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. It has been such a pleasure to work with Jo on the design of our garden, she organised the contractors, plants and planting. Her eye for detail and ability to turn any space in your garden to something special and not only colourful but easy care is amazing. She is a very friendly and professional person and we would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a well planned garden full of life.
Should you require any other information, or wish to view our garden please ask Jo for the details.

I just wanted to let you know that your consultation and resulting garden plan has been the single best investment we have made as part of our major house and garden extension/renovation! Your consultation was so thorough (and painless, you even got my hubby on board!) and you managed to capture everything I had in mind and put it together beautifully.
We have referred to your plans literally hundreds of times during the build process and continue to do so almost daily now that we are finally getting onto the landscaping. Even though the landscape part of our project is going slowly, having such detailed plans means that we can chip away at different parts of the project when we get time and weather conditions allow it, always knowing what we are aiming for and confident that what we are doing will work for the final result in the future.
When I have had urgent questions you have had answers for me at the other end of the phone, thank you! Your plant recommendations have been excellent and have made plant shopping much more logical and economical, and your knowledge of local conditions and local contractors has also been amazing -
you are so very generous with the knowledge that you share.
We really can’t thank you enough for your help,
and look forward to showing off our beautiful garden to you one day soon
Rosie & Wayne, Miranda
I’d just like to say thanks for all your time and effort you have put into our garden.
I feel you went above and beyond in every way possible and appreciate it greatly. Your time and attention to detail whilst always listening to my feedback and my quirky ideas were much appreciated.
You have given me a better understanding of gardening and a new love.
You will definitely be my first call when I need another garden makeover.
Donna, Pukekohe


We have almost done phase one, and are going to start construction on the shed soon so will be able to get into the next phase once that is done. I’ve attached a few photos I’ve taken as we have been putting bits in.
We are LOVING the design and how it’s coming along. Thanks!
Penny & Mike, Cambridge
Jo from Indetail has been a delight to work with over the last 7 years. Whether it be completing landscape designs for us to present to developers, or referring her customised garden design options to our clients.
As a small construction company we often have limited timeframes and budgets, however Jo always meets our requirements and delivers accordingly.
We predominantly engage Jo for her detailed landscape plans and plant purchasing, and then implement the installation with our own team. We love the flexibility this provides and Jo’s excellent communication to make it happen. She continuously meets the brief, is happy to accommodate any changes, plus suggests appropriate improvements where relevant.
We’ve enjoyed watching Indetail grow over the years, and appreciate that Jo still continues to deliver the same fantastic service. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to discuss their landscaping with a friendly talented professional.
Matt and Sheena Young
