Landscape Design Services in Surry Hills, New South Wales

“I have worked with Bell Landscapes several times over the past three years and have found them to be some of the most reliable and exacting contractors in the business. Mark and his team are consummate professionals from preliminary consultation to handover of the project and beyond. The combination of in house design, construction and follow up maintenance services offered by Bell Landscapes brings value to our projects and our Clients. I very rarely recommend contractors but in the case of Mark and his team I am very happy to make an exception.”

“Fig Landscapes was our perfect choice to upgrade our existing garden. The brief was new paving and new tiles for the veranda as well as upgrading the existing garden for a french country look in an urban setting. From the outset Grant Boyle was professional, knowledgable and respectful of our needs. He and his team began and finished the job on time despite the weather. We sourced the stone from Eco outdoors and used recycled bricks for the paving. Reusing the existing colour scheme of white and green we added some Tuckaroo trees, an Olive tree, Gardenias, Liriope, Dietes and Dichondra for ground cover. We are delighted with the result and with Fig landscapes and look forward to enjoying the new growth in the garden.”

“The Pepo team are superstars. They clearly understood our brief, inspired us with their design options and care so much about their work they still come by to offer advice (1 and a half years later). Highly recommend. Rob Caslick. St Canices rooftop garden project.”

“There are a plenty of providers that can deliver an outcome. There are very few that you trust (genuinely) have your best interests at heart and are passionate about delivering a quality job. Tim made the experience of building a pool, two bathrooms and laundry as well as a garden a stress-free experience. As a design professional his eye was excellent and we were certainly wise to listen to his advice as we ended up with a great outcome.”

“Andrew and his team at Stone Lotus Landscapes did a fantastic job with our courtyard. It was in much need of a make-over and was transformed into a beautiful sanctuary in which we use everyday and love to be out in it. From the very beginning Andrew listened to what we wanted and came up with a design that was space utilising, full of greenery, low maintenance, and most importantly something that reflected us and the environment we live in. His team worked efficiently and went above and beyond our expectations. We are thrilled with the outcome of our gorgeous courtyard and can’t recommend Stone Lotus Landscapes highly enough!”

“We engaged Margaret Skilbeck to help us with a major renovation and extension of our family home in Warrawee. Architelle was recommended by a local builder who gave us the names of a few architects that work in the Area. He told me Margeret Skilbeck was conversant with Kuringai council regulations and her turnaround time in submitting work was also good. We were very happy with the design and final result. One of the best things we did was engage Margeret to supervise the building project which included weekly site meetings. it took away a lot of the stress involved in building work. She gave us very good advise along the way and helped in choosing materials and fittings. She was professional, capable, efficient and very pleasant and we have no hesitation in recommending Her. She was able to work well with the builders & coordinate the other professionals. Her fees were reasonable and good value.”

“We contacted Brian to collaborate with us on the design of a complex project that is situated on a steeply sloping site with limited space and rocky outcrops. We knew Brian was the man for the job straight away. It was clear that he shared not only our architectural vision but also our passion for design. Brian approached the landscape design with great consideration and thought, perfectly capturing the clients brief whilst complementing our architectural design. He was very thorough with his coordination both with us, the civil engineer and the client. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and look forward to working together again on the next project.”

“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!”

“Outhouse Design did an amazing job of interperting my "vague" ideas and transforming them into an amazing garden. Steve was able to understand my waving arms, was always available to explain ideas so that I could see the vision and always had time for many questions. The garden had some challengs, space (or lack of), extending my "unclear" vision, lots of sunlight and wanting to ensure that all was captured in a small space. Being a busy and single female professional, he assisted overseeing the tradespeople and ensure that I both my garden and I was treated with respect and kept under budget. The end result is amazing, I am forever getting comments on the evolving garden. The garden was not only an extension of my home but also of my personality. I will use Outhouse Design to design my next garden design and have highly recommended him to my friends and neighbours, who have all shared in the same great experience I did.”

“We engaged Amanda at Space Designs to come up with a landscaping design for our upcoming knock-down rebuild project on Sydney's northern beaches. Unlike a couple of other landscape designers we'd spoken to previously, her ideas were practical and sensible for our block and impending new home, while still being interesting and attractive. Apart from someone in their office being a bit over-zealous in chasing up the final payment the well before the design was finalised, they've been great to deal with. Their design cost was reasonable and Amanda was able to come and see us at short notice. Will also shortly be asking them for their recommendations re landscape contractors and are confident we can trust their judgement. Really looking forward to how it's going to turn out in real life!”
