Drought Tolerant Landscaping Services in Sydney, New South Wales

“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!”

“I was recently hired by Lyn Hughes of Colour Impact to collaborate on a number of design projects, where I supplied the window coverings. Lyn is a joy to work with. She has a fabulous eye for colour and detail, and understands her clients needs and budget restraints. I look forward always to working with Colour Impact.”

“Rich and the team at Head Outdoors were a pleasure to work with. The process was really easy. After making an appointment for Rich to come and see our garden and a discussion about what we wanted, he provided us with a very reasonably and competitive quote. The team were available to begin work very quickly, there was no long waiting periods as was the norm from some of the other landscaping/gardening places we spoke to. Part of the project was to install a foldable clothes line and despite installing it to my specified height,I realised it was actually much too high for me. After a sheepish conversation with Rich and his team they did not hesitate to dig out the concrete and reinstall the clothes line again! The team were always professional and friendly. The team came in on the days promised and packed up and cleared away at the end of the day. And the project was brought in on time and on budget. We now have a lovely, easy to maintain front and back garden that suits our needs. I would highly recommend Head Outdoors!”

“We trusted the team at Belle to take our inspiration and provide guidance advice and a result that would exceed our expectations. Boy did they deliver! On time, on budget and a garden that will continue to be a source of joy for years to come. Would not hesitate to recommend and we are telling all our friends and neighbours.”

“Lynne was able to turn out unused and very disorganised back area into an 'entertainers delight', with beautiful low maintenance plants. She was responsive, extremely professional and her vision for our area was exactly as we had hoped. I would happily recommend Lynne and would bring her in for our next garden design/landscape project!”

“It is such a pleaure to walk into our garden. The expert advice we received from both Nadia and Caroline has ensured that we have a stunning newly paved patio and balustrade and a creative beautiful garden. I can highly recommend their maintenance team who have given shape and texture, love and care to assist our garden to thrive.”

“Hired to complete landscaping on a Duplex project. Very professional & courteous. Completed on time and was very happy with the results. Made a huge difference given some difficulties with other contractors who had worked on the retaining walls and drainage ;- only wish I had found out about lifeoutside before, as I would have given them the entire job!”

“Outside Space did a great job on some landscaping and remedial work. I found them totally professional, well priced and a pleasure to deal with. I did recommend them to others.”
