Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Darraweith Guim, 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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jackie helped us design a large garden. After an initial consultation she provided us with several concept drawings which were all creative, interesting and quite different from each other. We enjoyed very much working with her - she is knowledgable and creative - we felt we had the freedom to bring in our own ideas . Above all she has immense enthusiasm for her work and everything that grows. We have no hesitation in recommending avantgardener.”

“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.”

“Frances Hale from Peachy Green was an excellent fit for our project. They displayed excellent professionalism, along with a refreshing and project suitable aesthetic that we did not find elsewhere. Peachy Green's concept and delivery is a key feature of our finished project and one that is constantly garnering compliments for its attendtion to detail and creativity. Delivering concepts and then design documentation for two outdoor areas including the design of an intricate patterned tiled benching area. Our contractors were able to deliver the concepts as per the deisgn intent - In my opinion a testament to the great effort Frances put in to the design documentation. Highly recommend working with Fran - Your landscape related aspects will be architectural features in their own right. DP.”

“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.”

“Shane was very easy to work with and nothing was too much trouble. He was very flexible and allowed us to change our minds at the last minute (within reason). His team was very obliging and we are extremely happy with the outcome of our garden and landscaping. He also worked on timelines with our builder so that the garden was completed at the same time as the house, which made moving in so much more pleasant.”
