Testimonials
I must say Blackbird has been a delight to work with. They worked on my new build house on a complicated site. Access into the site was tricky and ground conditions made life very difficult. But they persevered and were very easy to deal with. They were also very willing to go the extra mile, which was a very frequent event because the complexity required it. I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate in recommending Blackbird! Keep up the good work!
Caleb Phang, Macpherson St, Meadowbank
Absolutely amazing job, highly recommend Blackbird. Friendly and great knowledge of planting and landscaping. Will be re-booking!

I just wanted to say a very short note of thanks for the amazing work that you and your teams did in the house renovations. Look and quality of finish is superb. Really pleased with how it turned out, worth the wait!
