Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services in Geelong, Victoria

“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.”

“GHLD have completed a number of landscape designs for some of our projects, and we couldn't have asked for more. From a design perspective, GHLD were quick to pick up the clients brief, and used this well to create some beautiful Landscape designs. From a Customer Service perspective, 10 out of 10 is my rating. Projects are completed within expected time frames, and communication is second to none. Looking forward to continuing to partner with GHLD for years to come. Highly Recommended!”

“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.”

“I have used Heather on a number of projects and have always appreciated her knowledge, professionalism and design skills.”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Jason on the design & re- landscaping of our entire yard. Jason was very through & carefully explained each step of the process. He listened to my needs & desires for the perfect coastal, mid century, easy care garden & yard & he delivered to a very high standard. He also recommended the landscaper who was equally fabulous! (more on that in another review) It's been nearly 2 years since we finished & the garden has come into it's own beautifully. Thanks Jason! I highly recommend Genus!”

“We employed the services of Beautiful Outdoor Spaces to create a garden for our new home. From the initial meeting with Kerri we knew she understood our needs and was able to cater for these perfectly. She has created a space that we love to spend time in. It is a pleasure to look at our beautiful garden and we love the plant selection as it has given us colour, privacy and an enjoyable space. We explained early on our lack of ability in the garden and Kerri has provided us with a low maintenance garden that is a pleasure to spend time in. We highly recommend Beautiful Outdoor Spaces.”

“Paul was easy to deal with and accommodated our requirements with our landscaping. His ideas are on trend and he delivered an amazing garden on time. We love that he thought outside the square and that we now have a garden which is low maintenance, unique, enjoyable and functional. Would recommend Paul and his fantastic team to anyone.”

“Ross Uebergang is an extremely talented landscape designer, lecturer and person. Ross has a different view and approach to situations that will leave you with a very unique and personal design. I have had the pleasure of working with Ross on an international project in recent times bringing one of his designs to life, something that I will never forget. Ross is a professional that I will continue to collaborate with for years to come.”

“Meg knows plants!!!! There are so many designers out there that know a small selected palette but Meg is one designer that crosses over into a horticultural realm. I've been amazed at the ideas she can bring to the table when engaged to provide planting palette advice. If you're looking for a friendly designer that goes the extra mile when creating and that knows in-depth horticultural knowledge look no further than Meg.”
