In September 2008, David Beer was approached by the Dominion Post as an expert in using the garden as a property selling tool to help struggling home vendors present their properties in their best light, using the landscape and some inexpensive design ideas.
"David Beer's suggestions will greatly enhance its street appeal"
"This is a dynamic semi-evergreen native combo with interesting texure featuring brown, yellow and green"
"Just be clear about what goes and what stays and if they (the buyers) really love the look, be sure to add the landscape designers number to the list of important local contacts"

In September 2007, David Beer was approached as an expert in coastal garden design, to be featured in the Dominion Post Property section.
"He's provided outdoor living and viewing spaces and garden beds that are colourful, generally low maintenance and can get by with little or no irrigation demands important given the water shortages that hit our coastal regions almost without fail these summers."
"Such selections are also ideal for gardens around weekend retreats and holiday homes where opportunities for watering are irregular and perhaps infrequent."

For his acclaimed "Inner City Beach" design, David Beer was featured in the Dominion Post's Garden Pages in June 2005, and on the Garden-NZ website.
"If you'd rather be lazing on the beach than doing the necessary in the garden this coming summer, David Beer has just the answer for you: a beach garden and you won't even have to pay a premium for a beachfront section."
"Just 10 metres square, David's plan has everything a big-city beachcomber could want - sun, sand, water, tropical good looks, even a thatched beach hut for barbecues and long cool cocktails and it all fits neatly into the backyard."
Bethney McLennan, Garden Writer, Dominion Post
