Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services in Hornsby Heights, 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!”

“We trusted the team at Belle to take our inspiration and provide guidance advice and a result that would exceed our expectations. Boy did they deliver! On time, on budget and a garden that will continue to be a source of joy for years to come. Would not hesitate to recommend and we are telling all our friends and neighbours.”

“It is such a pleaure to walk into our garden. The expert advice we received from both Nadia and Caroline has ensured that we have a stunning newly paved patio and balustrade and a creative beautiful garden. I can highly recommend their maintenance team who have given shape and texture, love and care to assist our garden to thrive.”

“Hired to complete landscaping on a Duplex project. Very professional & courteous. Completed on time and was very happy with the results. Made a huge difference given some difficulties with other contractors who had worked on the retaining walls and drainage ;- only wish I had found out about lifeoutside before, as I would have given them the entire job!”

“I've had the pleasure of knowing Courtney since we met at the Australian Garden Show Sydney in 2012. Since then I have engaged Terraneo to construct many of my landscape designs and couldn't be happier with the results. Courtney also provided construction for my show garden at the 'Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2016', and without his help and support I wouldn't have been able to show my design at all. Courtney is professional whilst being easy to work with and shares my enthusiasm and passion for design, which has resulted in our collaboration on several projects. The image I have included is for one such projects - my 'Bardwell Valley Terraced Garden'. I look forward to working together on many more projects in the future. Kev Quelch”

“Josh and his team did a great job. Justin, on site, was very respectful, helpful and produced work that was of very high quality. When we ran into any difficulties (as there always is, eg rock etc), the Harrison's team were quick to point out what their ideas were to overcome these at the most reasonable of costs. Our renovations involved both Harrison's and a builder on site at the same time and the communication between the two led to the overall success of the project. I would recommend this business to all. Jeremy”

“The Pepo team are superstars. They clearly understood our brief, inspired us with their design options and care so much about their work they still come by to offer advice (1 and a half years later). Highly recommend. Rob Caslick. St Canices rooftop garden project.”
