Justin did an excellent job in taking our ideas and thoughts, adding his own, and developing an amazing garden design. It not only looks beautiful, but is functional and practical and meets our brief of 'outdoor rooms' and less mowing! The whole process was enjoyable and transparent with good communication assisted by Justin's quick response to questions. We especially loved the 3D animated fly through showing our new garden design as a great addition to the very detailed flat plan. Working with Justin was an enjoyable and productive experience that we readily recommend to others.

Justin has shown professionalism in all steps of our design process. He listened to our ideas, understood our vision, was adaptable to the needs of our 5 acre block and our desire to implement the final plans ourselves. Thank you Justin for your prompt responses, keeping us very informed and answering our questions clearly. We've really enjoyed working with you and are very excited to watch our garden grow!

We would not hesitate to recommend Justin. He was prompt, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We secured his services to design a tropical garden plan along the side of our property to provide a screen and also be aesthetically pleasing. Justin carefully assessed the area noting soil type, orientation and areas of particular concern to us. He also provided valuable information relating to plant selection, garden bed preparation, edging and irrigation. The final design (detailed & scaled) was very pleasing and we are very excited to be creating the garden that we had hoped for based on Justin

His professionalism is exceptional and his knowledge of the environment, the location etc. meets all the best standards.

Due to budget restrictions my home reno is being done in stages over a few years and includes a new low maintenance, native landscape garden. Privacy planting was an important design factor and Justin's plan has allowed me to plant out areas in stages to ensure when the renovations are complete the privacy planting will be established and on budget. The garden already looks fantastic and the plants are thriving thanks to the thoughtful choice of varieties suitable to our Sunshine coast garden. Justin is professional, easy to work with....a great investment!

I highly recommend Justin from Regenerative Designs Australia for quality well thought out landscape designs. I engaged Justin to develop a whole of property outdoors landscape plan including paved driveway and back patio, property entrance paths and water feature, outdoor eating and seating areas, shade areas and native plants to attract local… wildlife. Justin followed a thorough process of listening to my initial requirements/ideas, likes and dislikes with existing areas to develop a functional layout which he then converted into a preliminary concept plan for review and comment before
