Caroline Springs, Victoria Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers

“To those considering engaging the services of a professional landscape designer on their next residential or commercial project, I would strongly urge they consider contacting James Dawson Landscape Design. As architects involved in a range of residential projects, we have frequently called on their services as we know the resulting work will always complement and enhance that of our own. It is important for any designer to fully understand the requirements of the client brief, to work constructively with them and communicate well throughout the process. These are qualities that James excels in and the body of his built work to date is testament to the success of his practice.”

“I really like their work. Very skilled worker. 5 out of 5. I appriciate their work. They are very punctual as well.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Brett Robinson Principal with Acre Landscape architecture was engaged in Feb 2014 to design us a new backyard which was to include an Alresco type area, decking, water feature and a redesigned garden areas with built in BBQ to compliment the replica Federation style home. The project was designed to replace the existing bluestone pitcher courtyard and retainer walls, gardens etc. The area itself was relatively small however Brett was given latitude to visually change the look by introducing new concepts and features. Brett provided us with detailed concept plans which met our original requirements plus including 2 additional stone feature walls clad in outdoor bawa bawa stone, bluestone steppers (some random) in three zones of the garden, raised bench clad in sawn bluestone and a fully detailed planting schedule for the new gardens. Brett also prepared the working drawings for the development of the decked area and the new alfresco roof which included timber lined ceiling, LED downlights 4 skylights and fan. In the conceptual phase costs came in over budget and Brett and I sat down and with the landscaper and found some creative alternatives to reduce the quoted costs while maintaining the interity of the design. Brett's experience in landscape design including plant selection, maintaining linkages between each zone of the garden, the selection and use of high quality products and creativity in providing well placed features shone through with the detailing that he applied to the concept and working drawings. Brett was easy to deal with and always available to assist with technical issues particularly during the hardscaping phase. Brett provided us with a number of landscapers and builders who he thought would be ideal for the project. We interviewed each and selected a separate landscaper and builder. Brett was often in contact with each contractor to ensure that the design was adhered to and that cost and deadlines were on track. We are so pleased with the finished product and the sensational new look to our property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Acre Landscape Design and Brett Robinson to any one looking to renovate their property given the difference that his designs have made to our property and the enjoyment we have derived from our new garden design.”

“Phil designed a revamped backyard garden for us. He inspected our existing backyard space and spent at least one hour discussing my ideas and plant prefences. The next step was a meeting at Gardenworld, where we walked around the centre identying my preferences for plant types, colour etc. Phil used this information to design a contemporary garden for us. The final stage involved Phil visiting our house again to discuss his final design. Phil presented as very engaging and approachable. He was interested in my ideas and thoughtful about how his design would fit with our house and lifestyle. The whole experience was informative and enjoyable and resulted in a highly creative and innovative backyard garden design.”

“We found Parveen after contacting many local designers and finding they were either way out of our budget, or just never responded to our enquiry. Parveen has wonderful prompt communication skills and worked with us to come up with a solution that fit within our budget. She carefully considered our design brief and took into account several aspects that we hadn't even thought of. She had great attention to detail and has lots of creative ideas, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We are very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”

“Innovative landscape design and high quality maintenance service. Andrew is a very professional and personable landscape designer.”
