Deck Design Services in Surry Hills, 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!”

“We enganged Birdwood Landscape to help with the Landscape Design to a Newport based project. With a tight deadline to lodge the DA Warren & Birdwood came up with great concepts and final designs quickly. Great to work with and highly recommended.”

“We used the services of Sticks and Stones at a major redevelopment of our residential house in Malabar this year. The renovation included not only major changes to the house, but also to the whole of property including landscape. Sticks and Stones were used very early in the process, when our vision for the house and landscape was still being developed. Julia and Fiona visited the site on a number of occasions, and designed a plan that was submitted to council and used by our builders as an integral part of our final plans. The landscaping plan provided was all inclusive, from plants to irrigation and fencing. Julia and Fiona’s vision, plus the work provided by the landscaping team, resulted in a landscaped garden befitting the beautiful house that was built. The final resulted exceeded our expectations, was completed on time, and within budget. We have no hesitation in recommending Sticks and Stones, and can provide further testimonial if requested.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Fig Landscapes was our perfect choice to upgrade our existing garden. The brief was new paving and new tiles for the veranda as well as upgrading the existing garden for a french country look in an urban setting. From the outset Grant Boyle was professional, knowledgable and respectful of our needs. He and his team began and finished the job on time despite the weather. We sourced the stone from Eco outdoors and used recycled bricks for the paving. Reusing the existing colour scheme of white and green we added some Tuckaroo trees, an Olive tree, Gardenias, Liriope, Dietes and Dichondra for ground cover. We are delighted with the result and with Fig landscapes and look forward to enjoying the new growth in the garden.”

“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.”

“We absolutely love the completed work. The deck and pergola at the back of the house completed our makeover. Their price was reasonable and competitive. They tailored the quote according to our budget. Minor problems were addressed accordingly and the work was completed on time. We had overflowing positive comments from our friends . Thank you James and to your team!”

“If you want a no non-sense, really professional landscaper who delivers quality within the budget and schedule, Jules and his apprentice, Ryan, are the team to choose. Jules is not just a landscaper who builds structures and grows plants. He can advise, help design and manage the subcontractors like a professional project manager. They have converted my bare and ugly land into a nice family friendly backyard and frontyard and we couldn't be happier. Always on time, advising us every step of the way and always leave the site neat and tidy. Can't go wrong with Tree of Life!”
