Fencing & Gate Contractors in Richmond, Victoria

“Rob, Tom, Jed and team have been wonderful in transforming our front garden to reflect the style and structure of our 1880 home. Not knowing much about Australian plant types Rob listened carefully to what I was looking for (nothing is ever too much to ask), creating design choices with multiple varietal choices but is polite at saying when things may not work. A perfect working relationship in my mind which has generated fantastic results! We’ve had several compliments and I couldn’t be happier. Since then Waddell Landscapes has been a constant from continuing to design and create thing like fruit and vegetable planter boxes to transform a dead area of our garden into a working wonderland for our two young kids to ongoing maintenance of our garden.”

“My husband had been searching in the local papers for landscapers, and we’d had a few around to quote but had not been impressed. I had come across Houzz and decided to see if we could use it to find gardens that inspired us and see who created them. That’s how we found Ben Carter and we’re so glad we did. We were looking to re-landscape the front garden of our home in McKinnon. It came with a rose garden that had been run down by years of neglectful tenants. We wanted to start over completely. He was so excited that we wanted a native garden and understood that we were after something low maintenance. He got straight to work on a plan which was done within a day or two. The garden itself was completed within just a few weeks, and within our original budget (the low end of the indicated range). Ultimately we added to the plan: we needed a new driveway now, not later, and Ben helped us select the perfect exposed aggregate for it. We also decided that this was the time to set up a rainwater tank, and Ben advised us on size and a colour that ties in with the house and garden. We also realised we needed something to act as a screen outside our bedroom window and he sourced us a beautiful one, from Entanglements whose work I loved, on sale no less. He coordinated professionally with our plumber and identified an excellent tradie to lay the exposed aggregate driveway. And the result? The plants, trees, woodchips, pebbles and rocks he selected (in consultation) tie in with the bricks of our house and garden wall as well as the tree on the verge. We have a sitting area from which to admire the natural features, and to listen to the water in the frog pond he set up at our daughter’s request. In the end, we insisted that he display a sign so people would know who created our garden. We look forward to working with him again in the future. That’s the highest recommendation we can provide.”

“We had Calvin and his team come and extend our deck for us. They did a great job and were reasonably priced. Would highly recommend them.”
