Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services in Melbourne, Victoria

“We found Parveen after contacting many local designers and finding they were either way out of our budget, or just never responded to our enquiry. Parveen has wonderful prompt communication skills and worked with us to come up with a solution that fit within our budget. She carefully considered our design brief and took into account several aspects that we hadn't even thought of. She had great attention to detail and has lots of creative ideas, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We are very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”

“Immediately I met Alison, I knew she was a winner. She re designed my roof top garden and it is source of delight to me every day. She asked the right questions to formulate her initial plan to meet my vision, was responsive to my preferences and took a lot of care which plants were selected and where they were positioned. She has been back to see how the garden has developed and advised me on care and maintenance. Because she is passionate about producing a great outcome, she continues to learn and challenge herself and no doubt will get better and better. Deservedly, she won two gold awards for my garden.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Russell from the first consultation and through the whole process you have been so professional From the very first drawing to the final drawing you achieved exactly what we wanted for our garden. All the special turns and curves you have created are amazing. We are so grateful for your vision and look forward to spending many hours enjoying our beautiful garden. Russell we would like to thank you again for our fantastic garden we will be recommending you to all our friends. Mary and Bill Constantinou”

“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.”

“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.”
