Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services in Lyonville, 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.”

“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!”

“Ros undertook the design and management activities associated with the refurbishment of our garden. Consultation, attention to detail with empathy meant the design incorporated existing features to realize a transformation beyond our dreams. We now have a garden for all seasons with water features and functional outdoor entertaining areas. Follow up visits have helped as the garden matures. Ros and her team are highly recommended.”

“Romany has assisted with the design on many of our landscaping projects and can certainly recommend her professionalism and eye of detail to provide the very best result to exceed our clients expectations. Massive thumbs up from us. Keep up the great work Romany.”

“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.”

“Andy designed a great landscape and planting plan for our new build in Sandringham. Can't wait to see the finished garden when the build is completed next year.”

“I met Stephen when he came to help me with changes I wanted to make in our Malvern garden. He has been able to create a garden which is wonderful, interesting, has plants I love from gardens of my past and has movement ( the swish swishing of the leaves of the Golden Robimia) enjoyed by young grandchildren over the years. I wanted a garden to garden and to be able to change things here and there if I so desired! We have everything here! Colour, interesting pots, citrus, olives, herbs, dappled shade for hot summer days and a cheerful sunny north facing courtyard to share many happy hours with family and friends. Not only has Stephen created this fabulous garden, we have had lots of fun along the way. I now consider him a friend.”

“I was lucky enough to find Caroline Hyett through looking up local companies on the web. It really was my lucky day. Caroline had some fantastic ideas and worked closely with me in keeping within my budget, She recommended products that I had not considered and help source them for me. I live in a warehouse and only had a medium sized courtyard to work with. The end result of our project is that I have an amazing space, with beautiful plants - that are really taking off - to relax and entertain in.”

“From the word go we felt confident and comfortable with Robyn. Her vast knowledge and experience was evident. She had a great attitude and helped us feel part of the experience which we appreciated. She was on site much more than we expected, making sure the job was done to her liking. She was prepared to pitch in and get involved when things needed to be done. Her ideas for our garden were fantastic, we couldn't have asked for me. We've no end of inquiries about our beautiful garden. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Robyn for landscape design.”
