“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!”

“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!”

“Johanna provides a concierge tailored design and supply service for all things outdoors and backyard. She was responsive to our suggestions, used modern technology to enable real time continual updates for design suggestions as well as engaging a superb range of tradesmen to complete the job. Her efforts have resulted in a superb new backyard at reasonable prices with fantastic quality.”

“Jay and his team were knowledgeable and professional in designing and executing our project. We were able to discuss personal preferences and are very happy with the outcome. Jay was able to suggest suitable plants for our difficult conditions where we are at times blasted by sea winds. A positive and cheerful team made the project go smoothly. We are very happy with the result.”

“Great working with Aakash and team our renovated house now with lovely Australo/Japanese inspired garden. Aakash went to extra effort to source natural rocks and steppers from a local quarry which made all the difference to the project and the team were happy to work with owners creative input”

“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.”

“I am the Director of a landscape products company which has been operating for close to 15 years. Our company services leading designers and award winning landscapers, our product being utilised in some of Australia’s most prestigious properties. When it came to landscaping my own home, the obvious choice was Apex Landscapes; the feedback I always heard from their past clients and respect from their industry peers was second to none. I was able to leave Matt, Steve and the team to undertake a detailed landscape and spa without a worry, knowing that this multi award winning company would complete my project on budget, on time and to the highest possible finish. Not only have the team at Apex Landscapes exceeded my high requirements, but we valued the property before and after their work and are thrilled to not only have an amazing cutting edge landscape, but coupled this with a return on our investment in excess of 30% !! I look forward to using them again on my next project.”

“I first met Andrew when we embarked on a pool design and build. The concepts and thorough documentation he provided were excellent and assisted us in moving to the next stage of our project. He is also very personable and good to work with.”
