We’re so pleased with the outcome - it’s beautiful and we’re quite thrilled. Peter's design work was spot on, and although we were excited by the drawings and CAD video walkthrough etc, seeing it come to life has been a huge thrill. Every morning now when I look out our windows I’m seeing the property as I had always hoped it might one day present. The landscaping team did a marvellous job, and were really diligent in the professional approach to the work. They were most considerate along the way, and we appreciated how much they tidied as they went, including the final cleanup. I enjoyed some discussion, banter and advice from them along the way.

They came out to provide a quote to us some 3 months ago, and have failed to follow up on our phone calls and emails in regards finalising the revised quote and not mention, starting work? If you now feel the job is perhaps too small at least have the courtesy to let customers know by way of responding? Very poor attitude and communication and certainly not professional.

Hi Peter Garden looks amazing, really happy with it. Your team throughout the whole process has been easy to work with. Nothing fazes you or is too much trouble, thanks for that. The onground team always kept everything clean and tidy and did a brilliant job. We also noticed that they mulched the whole garden, including the garden beds on the road and also removed the bricks that were near the front gate. Many thanks to all at Yardstick. A wonderful job.

We hired Peter from Yardstick to design a landscape for an unusual garden layout, which incorporates a multiple courtyard arrangement. Peter was up to the challenge and delivered a wonderful design that will definitely enhance our unique home. We're going to do as much of the project as a DIY (to keep an already blown budget in check), but once we get through the council approvals process, we'll be in touch with Peter for his assistance to ensure the set out is accurate and we build the beautiful landscape garden he has created with very detailed and comprehensive plans.

We are delighted with our new garden. Peter and his team turned our bland, dated courtyard into a sanctuary that we will enjoy all year round. It has been cleverly designed to make the most of our small space. The pergola and plants help to shield us from the hot westerly sun in summer but maximise sun exposure in winter. We look forward to seeing the garden become even more beautiful as the plants grow over the coming years.

Peter from Yardstick took our ideas and after a few meetings planned the perfect backyard for us. The plan made our life so much easier hiring tradespeople and was a great tool for us to follow also. Thanks Peter

We were very pleased with Yardstick Landscape Services from the beginning to the end of our landscaping journey. Considering the size of our backyard, we were very impressed by Peter's design and the final outcome exceeded our expectations. The team was professional, reliable and approachable. Yardstick Landscape Services entirely changed our garden into a beautiful and relaxing space and cannot speak highly enough of them.

Yardstick expanded our garden design horizons, created 3 small areas with different but cohesive spaces. Peter Adley and his team created a design which turned a small plot with restricting encumbrances into a relaxing, low maintenance and stunning environment, adding value and kerb appeal . The quality/value for money ratio was excellent - we couldn't have done it without Peter's skill .

I was very fortunate to have been referred to Yardstick Landscape Services. Pete Adley who met with me to plan my design was incredibly professional and was able to give me a range of wonderful ideas for my garden. I was impressed with the types of materials that were suggested to use in the design and they look amazing! The construction was of a very high standard and the team were professional at all times. The overall project was well in budget and I now have an amazing place to spend quality time with my family and friends. Amanda Walsh

Pete did a wonderful and timely job on landscaping a portion of our backyard. He was able to recommend appropriate plants for the conditions, whilst also providing a great overall design. Pete was great to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. He got the job done well with no fuss. Thanks Pete!

Pete really listened to our brief of wanting privacy, different levels and a great entertaining space in what is a very compact courtyard. What was once a concrete slab is now a private sanctuary that everyone comments on which met out brief and is now our favourite "room" in the house. As we did the labour ourselves with no prior experience, it was fantastic help to have Pete answer my (fairly frequent I'm afraid) questions! I would recommend.

Pete took a bland and very square space to a beautiful layout, using all the elements which needed to be incorporated - coastal environment, low maintenance, dog tolerant and bin camouflaging. Still continue to get compliments!

Pete was recommended to us by the landscape construction company that eventually did the job. We could not have been happier with his understanding of our needs and innovative design for our courtyard.The design not only suits the overall feel of the house but also minimizes the dominance of the hot tub. It incorporates unique features, like the wooden beam, Chinese characters and stainless steel pots that make the space not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing.
