Garden Design Services in Central Coast

“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 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.”

“Michael Cooke helped us design our garden. He designed around our requirements and the plants that we love. Michael has written several books and also writes regularly for the Sydney Magazine and previously wrote for Marie Claire Lifestyle. His book - Time in the Garden - is inspirational. His garden designs are absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend his work for residential or large country properties.”
