Garden Design Services in Bellarine, Victoria

“Our garden was severely damaged by a large tree coming down in the wind. We hired Harry to repair, redesign and landscape the garden. Harry has managed the process, from design, refertilizing the garden, planting and ongoing maintenance over the past 3 years. The results are amazing and we are delighted with the work that Harry has done - and continues to do.”

“This review is long overdue. I had the privilege of working with Jim Fogarty Design Pty Ltd at the 2015 Philadelphia Flower Show. The experience was great! We were his appointed landscape contractor for installation. I initially met Jim in South Florida in October of 2014 to secure plant material. We started prefabrication of the exhibit in December. He entrusted us to interpret his overall design concept and to get creative with the materials we used. We were given 4 days to put the garden together. Jim’s edgy design and knowledge of plant material resulted in a Gold Medal. We made a great team together and hope to have the opportunity work with Jim again in the future.”

“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.”

“I am the Director of a landscape products company which has been operating for close to 15 years. Our company services leading designers and award winning landscapers, our product being utilised in some of Australia’s most prestigious properties. When it came to landscaping my own home, the obvious choice was Apex Landscapes; the feedback I always heard from their past clients and respect from their industry peers was second to none. I was able to leave Matt, Steve and the team to undertake a detailed landscape and spa without a worry, knowing that this multi award winning company would complete my project on budget, on time and to the highest possible finish. Not only have the team at Apex Landscapes exceeded my high requirements, but we valued the property before and after their work and are thrilled to not only have an amazing cutting edge landscape, but coupled this with a return on our investment in excess of 30% !! I look forward to using them again on my next project.”

“Sean at Bayon Gardens was excellent. Starting with some great ideas at concept stage, right through to completion the job was delivered with enthusiasm, patience and professionalism. We couldn't be happier with the project.”

“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.”

“DSB have provided us with many great landscapes solutions, and we enjoy seeing the fresh ideas the practice continues to bring to our exclusive residential clients.”

“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've worked with TLC on numerous projects and have always enjoyed being a part of their work. They're extremely knowledgeable, they take enormous pride in their design work and are well respected in the Industry. I've spoken with a few of their clients who have all said how great they are to deal with and that they just make the whole process easy.”

“I was lucky enough to find Caroline Hyett through looking up local companies on the web. It really was my lucky day. Caroline had some fantastic ideas and worked closely with me in keeping within my budget, She recommended products that I had not considered and help source them for me. I live in a warehouse and only had a medium sized courtyard to work with. The end result of our project is that I have an amazing space, with beautiful plants - that are really taking off - to relax and entertain in.”
