**Photos TBA** I worked with Gary on the design construction of the landscaping package at my home. Having Gary on board during from the early stages of the home's Architectural design program proved to be immensely valuable. The collaborative effort between Gary and the architect yielded a more considered and impactful design- both in the home and its landscaping. Gary's expertise in landscape construction meant that he could provide advice and insight into the more technical aspects of his design. As a builder, it was a pleasure being able to consult Gary at key stages of the building process to collaboratively work through any issues or challenges.

Hello Charley,
Thank you for your feedback of my service to you
Being involved in a project at the early stages of inception with your Architect made things a lot easier for me to provide you with a better result for the landscaping component as we were able to head off any potential issues and create a free flowing schedule of works for the site.
I really look forward to working with you again sometime soon
Much appreciated
Gary

Gary has been a solid partner of ours during a complex and long landscaping project, involving lots of different stakeholders. He proved to be very reliable and trustworthy with a true sense of ownership of the project. His communication and management of the project was also very thorough. Despite the challenges the project through at us, Gary helped us to achieve our end vision, of a family friendly and low maintenance garden, and for that we are very grateful.

All the best

Chris & I engaged Gary Winter Landscape Design to bring our front garden to life. We were not disappointed. Gary kept us informed right throughout the whole process. The preliminary steps of consultation included design & plant selection, followed by actual construction. Gary's advice & recommendations were invaluable. Gary's onsite staff, Jake, Hayden & one other were very professional in their work & polite. Gary managed the whole project seamlessly from beginning to end. The work was completed in the agreed time & within budget. We couldn't be more please with the end result. Thank you Gary. Darrell & Chris Lamb Westmeadows, Victoria

Pre-starting job discussions very clear and accurate, Gary was easy to work with and had great landscaping and plant selection ideas, always on time and accomplishes a hellava lot in one day. Keeps his work area tidy and cleans up after, in summary Gary takes the load of your shoulders and you end up with a fabulous upgrade of your outdoor area and your home.

We recently engaged Gary’s firm through an introduction from our architect. Gary brings a great attitude to his work; clearly has excellent landscaping skills; and proved himself a great communicator. We already had a design concept that Gary willingly worked with; providing constructive advice to improve our outcomes where required. His team delivered the outcome in a very efficient manner; and communicated effectively with us throughout the process. We’d thoroughly recommend Gary.

We employed Gary to undertake a landscape design following a knock down rebuild, and later the supply and install of plants. Gary was incredible responsive throughout the project and provided exceptional advice and timely service. We were delayed by several levels of approval and Gary was always willing to work through any issues presented with the regulatory agency. Gary was able to work well with other contractors and recommend third party contractors, who also provided great service. We are incredibly happy with the final project and are already beginning to enjoy our fantastic outdoor entertaining area.

Gary has assisted us on numerous projects at our recently renovated inner suburban Victorian period house. In doing so he proved to be agile, knowledgeable and reliable, a true professional and 'safe pair of hands'. Gary listened to our needs and developed and implemented a landscape that serviced these, including but not limited to vege patches, herb gardens, composting, native gardens and water features. I highly recommend Gary regardless if you are just seeking advice and ideas or need end to end project management.

We have worked with Gary on several projects over the last 10 years to renovate and redesign our garden spaces. He is always thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with whether it be exploring design ideas or working through the implementation. The quality of his hard landscaping is a testament to his craftsmanship and his plant selections have stood the test of time. We wouldn't trust our garden to anyone else.

We engaged Gary to assist us with a landscaping design and plan. Gary listened to our wants and needs and provided us with really useful advice. Gary guided us through the design process and presented us with excellent plans. At the end of the project, Gary assisted us with the installation of screening trees, which look fantastic and have totally changed the yard. He also diligently remove an adjacent concrete path and left the site in a very neat and tidy state. I’d definitely recommend engaging Gary as he is courteous, thorough and delivers on what he promises.

How surprising these days to find a contractor who does exactly what he says, when he says and for the original estimated cost - but Gary Winter managed to do all of these! From project concept to execution, Gary and his team were totally professional and proficient, responsive to the client, and always willing to make the extra effort which makes the difference. I recommend him without hesitation.

I am a repeat customer to Gary Winter because of his professionalism, attention to detail and promptness. I had a fenced up veggie patch which was overtaken with weeds and needed something more functional for planting and a seating area under the grapevine. The project went very smoothly. Gary was flexible yet proactive and very organised. He made it easy for us to envision the end product and it was just as expected. Nothing was done without proper consultation first. The result was a well-laid out open patio landscaped neatly with edible herbs, raised garden beds and connection to rainwater tanks. We are very happy with the quality of the work. I think Gary is brilliant and I highly recommend him.
