Each garden receives customised plant selection and water feature integration.

Brendan rescued our new garden which was very poorly finished by the original contractor. He came in and totally revamped it into a wonderful relaxing and inspiring part of our home. Since his initial magic he has continued to keep an active interest with new and refreshing ideas very year. Great work and strongly recommend him.

We were so happy with Brendan, throughout the whole process, from my vision combined with his vision of my garden. He did a magnificent job! If you ever need a landscaper give him a call!

Getting a quote from this arrogant human is like pulling teeth .... I tried for 2 months to be told that he is selective about the work he does and advised to contact a turf farm without even looking at a 4000 m2 area I have to be landscaped with turf being a very small section ... so rude ... so conceited
