Hardscaping Services in Elsternwick, Victoria

“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.”

“Instinctively we knew Andrew understood our particular requirements - and his friendly, and dependable team completely transformed our outdoor space in an aesthetic and tasteful way. We had an acoustic wall, vertical garden, screens, lighting and a not-possum-friendly front and rear garden from A to Z in 2 weeks! We are very happy to recommend Andrew and his team.”

“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.”

“We have had two projects completed by Simon and his excellent team. Three years ago Simon completely rebuilt our back yard integrating a new swimming pool into a beautiful and low maintenance garden set amongst our numerous mature trees. The result now is that the garden invites us to enjoy it all year round. More recently the balance of our garden has been transformed by Landart. Simon and his team planned meticulously, involved us and incorporated our ideas into the design and as construction required. We had complete trust in Simon and his team to deliver our projects to time, to the highest quality and within our budget.”

“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.”

“Inge and her team are great. They are very creative, reliable and go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the design and the finished job. We are very happy with our front and back garden design...in fact we love it! More than happy to recommend.”

“Paul was easy to deal with and accommodated our requirements with our landscaping. His ideas are on trend and he delivered an amazing garden on time. We love that he thought outside the square and that we now have a garden which is low maintenance, unique, enjoyable and functional. Would recommend Paul and his fantastic team to anyone.”

“We were very happy with the work Normark performed in our backyard. Normark provided a fantastic quote and were extremely reasonable with their pricing. Their expert knowledge about what we should do to get the most out of our budget was extremely helpful. The job was done very efficiently and the quality was first class.........we couldn't be happier with the whole experience.”

“Chris and his team displayed absolute professionalism during our small/medium garden remodel. Quoting was accurate, they turned up when they said they would, worked solidly to ensure the job was done properly to exacting standards, and the job was completed within my specified time frame. His team were really friendly and approachable throughout and took care to leave the site swept and neat each day, which was very respectful of them. Chris was flexible in his approach to working within our budget and his team's conscientiousness for their work really seems to show. Couldn't recommend Formation highly enough.”

“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.”
