Landscape Design Services in Coogee, New South Wales

“We approached Kev to design the gardens of our beach house in Goolwa. As the house is literally behind the sand dunes we had no idea what plants would survive the salt laden winds. As my husband and I are from different cultural backgrounds we wanted him to create spaces that reflected our individual tastes, was reminiscent of places we have travelled coupled with being sympathetic to the property location. During our consultation Kev recommended creating two quite different gardens – the front to draw inspiration from the beach, sand dunes and its native surrounds, and the rear to have a more tropical, lush feel that would create a completely different experience representing our travels overseas. When Kev presented the design plan to us, it was better than we ever imagined. We absolutely love the selection of plants recommended and the contemporary landscaping materials such as the rusted steel, raised curved garden beds to complement the wide variety of native flora for the front garden, and elements such as the outdoor shower for Tim after a surf and bath for myself to relax under the stars for the back garden. He also included extensive undercover decked outdoor living and dining area’s as we’re keen entertainers. He even managed to include stone paving and steps referrencing my grandmothers Portuguese bungalow in Kerala in South India into the design – a place I told him had a special place in my heart during our first meeting. I can’t wait to see his design come to fruition over the coming months and highly recommend Kev to anyone reading this!”

“We engaged Amanda at Space Designs to come up with a landscaping design for our upcoming knock-down rebuild project on Sydney's northern beaches. Unlike a couple of other landscape designers we'd spoken to previously, her ideas were practical and sensible for our block and impending new home, while still being interesting and attractive. Apart from someone in their office being a bit over-zealous in chasing up the final payment the well before the design was finalised, they've been great to deal with. Their design cost was reasonable and Amanda was able to come and see us at short notice. Will also shortly be asking them for their recommendations re landscape contractors and are confident we can trust their judgement. Really looking forward to how it's going to turn out in real life!”

“Outhouse Design did an amazing job of interperting my "vague" ideas and transforming them into an amazing garden. Steve was able to understand my waving arms, was always available to explain ideas so that I could see the vision and always had time for many questions. The garden had some challengs, space (or lack of), extending my "unclear" vision, lots of sunlight and wanting to ensure that all was captured in a small space. Being a busy and single female professional, he assisted overseeing the tradespeople and ensure that I both my garden and I was treated with respect and kept under budget. The end result is amazing, I am forever getting comments on the evolving garden. The garden was not only an extension of my home but also of my personality. I will use Outhouse Design to design my next garden design and have highly recommended him to my friends and neighbours, who have all shared in the same great experience I did.”

“Lynne was able to turn out unused and very disorganised back area into an 'entertainers delight', with beautiful low maintenance plants. She was responsive, extremely professional and her vision for our area was exactly as we had hoped. I would happily recommend Lynne and would bring her in for our next garden design/landscape project!”

“Tim & his team did a superb job on our landscaping, as the photos show. We have a well thought out garden that is functional and looks great. We love it and continually get compliments on how great it looks. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim & and crew. Tim cares about his clients and will often check in after the job is done to ensure his clients are completely satisfied.”

“Over the past 15 years Secret Gardens has transformed 2 different gardens for us into beautiful places we could enjoy and entertain. Our first property was an apartment in Paddington with a 60m terrace. Secret gardens transformed the terrace into different entertaining areas including a water feature. At our second home in Bondi they transformed a bland garden into a entertainers dream. They created a deck with a concrete built in BBQ that was the main attraction. The follow up service was outstanding as they take pride in their work and continue to provide exceptional service in the periodical maintenance.”

“If you want a no non-sense, really professional landscaper who delivers quality within the budget and schedule, Jules and his apprentice, Ryan, are the team to choose. Jules is not just a landscaper who builds structures and grows plants. He can advise, help design and manage the subcontractors like a professional project manager. They have converted my bare and ugly land into a nice family friendly backyard and frontyard and we couldn't be happier. Always on time, advising us every step of the way and always leave the site neat and tidy. Can't go wrong with Tree of Life!”

“Caldesign have provided an excellent service. The designs are innovative, but based on our requirements and integrated into our specific area and site lay out. Andrew is very responsive and has been flexible in adapting changes as the physical project takes shape. I highly recommend Caldesign”

“We used the services of Sticks and Stones at a major redevelopment of our residential house in Malabar this year. The renovation included not only major changes to the house, but also to the whole of property including landscape. Sticks and Stones were used very early in the process, when our vision for the house and landscape was still being developed. Julia and Fiona visited the site on a number of occasions, and designed a plan that was submitted to council and used by our builders as an integral part of our final plans. The landscaping plan provided was all inclusive, from plants to irrigation and fencing. Julia and Fiona’s vision, plus the work provided by the landscaping team, resulted in a landscaped garden befitting the beautiful house that was built. The final resulted exceeded our expectations, was completed on time, and within budget. We have no hesitation in recommending Sticks and Stones, and can provide further testimonial if requested.”
