Landscape Contractors & Gardeners in Lonsdale, South Australia

“Engaged prospect contractors as a point of difference to standard retaining walls. The promptness in them returning my initial call and then conducting an on site inspection was great and then to have the quote emailed by the next day (instead of me chasing it up) was in my experience unique. I was very impressed by the communication between their installation crew and myself regarding any issues they could see affecting access my block. My inquisitive 8 & 6 y/o kids went and bombarded them with questions and the boys couldn't have been more polite and accommodating. Upon completion they raked and tidied all stone chips from an already untidy gravel driveway.”

“Sawaterscapes This will be a bit of a lengthy review so if you haven't the time for the long version I'll just say upfront - The work done by sawaterscapes, Corrie, Dale and Brendon is Amazing! ! I Have absolutely no complaints and Highly Recommend them on every level! One of the reasons for making this a lengthy review is because I always check reviews when hiring on line and there was very few personal reviews I could find regarding sawaterscapes so, hopefully, I can give a little insight. Some weeks ago I contacted Corrie Mullins to discuss one of the many waterfall packages sawaterscapes have on their website. My small 30+ year old overgrown frog pond needed a lot of help. I thought one of their waterfall packages may allow my pond to flow into it on rainy days giving this particular area of my yard a much needed face-lift, plus accommodate the many tiny creatures (focused most strongly towards the little tadpoles and frogs) surviving in my yard. I wasn't clear what I wanted but Corrie was able to suggest options around what I'd chosen and for the most part I simply left it to the 3 of them. I'd looked at their work on line and loved it so felt quite confident. Let me say here, these guys are artists. . . Make no mistake. . . what they do is true ART! The information i presented to Corrie was quite sparse . . . Just make sure I can easily access and move around the area. So..... morning of day one a huge pile of rocks landed in my yard and 3 days later those rocks had morphed into a thing of environmental magic and beauty! With a tweak here and a tweak there, several things had been added including a pathway for easy access. The guys had beautifully incorporated everything in the area to fit perfectly together, including my tiny Bali Hut. But now they were ready to leave and this was a travesty! The other half of this backyard corner was an unruly wasted space! After a quick 10 minute chat to Corrie all was solved and the guys would be staying for another few days. My mission for Corrie was to transform the rest into a mini Wetlands by included a second pond, some flat areas to place a bench or 2, (making sure it had easy access) and perhaps even room for a small 3pc setting. By the time it was all done my wasted space had materialized into an environmentally friendly Oasis. A mini billabong surrounded with pebbles, rocks, Australian native plants and included a few nooks and crannies - just perfect for the local tree frogs, native bees, birds and other wildlife. Just astounding! Oh and apart from the absolute serenity and beauty everything is automated. Flow and fill, lighting and overflow all happens automatically. I don't even have to switch a switch - just genius! So there you have it, these guys are the best of the best”

“Jamie gave us advice on plant selection to enable our garden to develop from an eclectic ‘stick plants we like in anywhere’ into a more cohesive and attractive design . He considered our age (so that we can make the changes ourselves without too much heavy lifting) , our location - soil, sun, north facing and costs. He taught us to take note of where the eye goes. Also gave us advice on garden lighting. Thanks Jamie and Sally.”

“Ron and Elaine are committed to providing the best service to clients. Their quotes are reasonable, detailed and value for the level of professional service they provide. All tradespeople used during our project were of a high calibre and Ron was committed to overseeing their work personally. Emails were replied to promptly and after completion of the project, there continued to be an excellent level of follow up and attention to detail. After our first project, we were so delighted with the end product that we have continued to use Ron. We have no hesitation in recommending them as a company of honesty, integrity and commitment to doing a job well.”

“Bright-on Landscaping landscaped both my front and back yards. Services included earthworks, a new lawn, automated irrigation, planting, installation of a feature sculpture, pavers and mulching. The team were well organised and completed the works promptly and to a high standard. Also, last minute changes by us didn't seem to phase them. They even set up a temporary sprinkler for 6 weeks to water my new lawn while I waited for it to be established enough to start using the sub-surface irrigation. Cameron (the owner) is very knowledgeable and easy going and I would have no hesitation recommending him to others.”

“Couldn't be happier with the service and lawn supplied by Sunnyside. They helped me with all my site prep inquiries and the TifTuf lawn I received has already stated to establish, looking beautiful and green. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new lawn.”

“We have a really tricky driveway and yard for Carl to do the paving. He had to design a whole retaining wall and draining system for our yard. He has done a fantastic job. We really appreciate his and Paul's hard work. Highly recommended! He has a lot of landscaping experience and will do a great job at a reasonable price.”

“Leigh and the team!!! We just want to say HUGE thanks to everyone involved!!!!!! We are very happy with all the work done. The retaining wall ,with the fence on top, turned out great. You all are professional, efficient and friendly! We wish you all the best!! We would be happy to recommend YOUR COMPANY- to others. Kind Regards , Andrew & Ajka ; Bob & Julie : Taperoo October 2014”

“We hired Distinctive Gardens to guide and assist us with our landscape design and then carry out the work. We had a general idea of how we wanted the front and back to flow, and felt understood and excited after our initial meeting with Landscape designer and Director. When the plans soon came back for us to look over, we were so impressed and did not have to wait long to get the work under way. Instead of in our eyes initially 'just being a garden to finish off the new build' it became the finishing touch that took our property from being lovely to amazing. The staff - The designers to the Landscapers - have been such a pleasure to deal with, rain or shine smiling faces, always approachable and happy to keep us in the loop. Now as we sit back within our gorgeous surrounds we are so Thankful to Distinctive Gardens for creating our own little paradise. Cheers. Kylie & Daniel”
