Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services

“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!”

“Terrific design. Spectacular job involving full renovation of exterior spaces; pool area and two garden levels. Michael is very easy to work with. Great vision, intelligent. I highly recommend Michael.”

“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.”

“As first time builders and homeowners we were inexperienced in any type of gardening but we were adamant that we wanted a chemical free garden. Justin's ability to guage our needs, capabilities, likes and dislikes in design while sticking to our budget was remarkable. His professionalism, hardwork, extensive knowledge and passion exceeded our expectations and he was so flexible and honest in helping us keep costs down. Justin helped us make our front garden unique while still sticking to the guidelines set out by the estate in which we built. He designd a Japanese rock garden and helped us design a vegetable garden with a wicking bed. He also built us a banana crop circle. We now have a unique beautiful sustainable garden that has made our home complete.”

“Debbie listened extremely well to what I wanted to achieve. She creates designs that exceed expectations. This is the 2nd time I have engaged Orterra for projects.”

“Brendan & Aaron are fantastic. Talented and extremely conscientious. They initially installed a small wall garden for us and we were so impressed we asked them to dress our house with plants when we listed it for sale. Brendan really understood the look we wanted and improved the look of our existing garden then strategically added some feature pots. This contributed greatly to the look of the house which we sold after only one open home. They helped us transplant the feature pots to our new home and refreshed the existing garden to give it more consistency & in the style we prefer. We look forward to putting in a new outdoor entertaining space with Brisbane Landscaping in the future. Brendan has an amazing eye for presenting gardens and is completely across the latest and greatest in garden design. He also understands how to fit your vision into a budget. I can’t recommend them enough. The photos don’t do it justice.”

“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!”

“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”

“I am really impressed and satisfied with this Company's strong work ethic. They are reliable and dedicated to get the job done in time. I don't know much about gardens, but everything was well explained and I was happy with the layout and plans that were presented. Very happy with my beautiful garden!”

“My husband had been searching in the local papers for landscapers, and we’d had a few around to quote but had not been impressed. I had come across Houzz and decided to see if we could use it to find gardens that inspired us and see who created them. That’s how we found Ben Carter and we’re so glad we did. We were looking to re-landscape the front garden of our home in McKinnon. It came with a rose garden that had been run down by years of neglectful tenants. We wanted to start over completely. He was so excited that we wanted a native garden and understood that we were after something low maintenance. He got straight to work on a plan which was done within a day or two. The garden itself was completed within just a few weeks, and within our original budget (the low end of the indicated range). Ultimately we added to the plan: we needed a new driveway now, not later, and Ben helped us select the perfect exposed aggregate for it. We also decided that this was the time to set up a rainwater tank, and Ben advised us on size and a colour that ties in with the house and garden. We also realised we needed something to act as a screen outside our bedroom window and he sourced us a beautiful one, from Entanglements whose work I loved, on sale no less. He coordinated professionally with our plumber and identified an excellent tradie to lay the exposed aggregate driveway. And the result? The plants, trees, woodchips, pebbles and rocks he selected (in consultation) tie in with the bricks of our house and garden wall as well as the tree on the verge. We have a sitting area from which to admire the natural features, and to listen to the water in the frog pond he set up at our daughter’s request. In the end, we insisted that he display a sign so people would know who created our garden. We look forward to working with him again in the future. That’s the highest recommendation we can provide.”
