Our Tips!

Here are 5 key tips:

  • Must haves – Identify what the essential design elements are.  Do you like particular plants for their produce?  Is there a species that attracts you visually?  What sort of garden pockets do you need?
  • Keep it simple – be practical.  An over-complicated layout, colour palette or planting scheme may scream too much work for you!
  • Maintenance – be realistic about how much time you can spend in your garden.  Are the kids also expected to be involved in the gardening?
  • ‘Pets’ – do you want or have the space for pets such as dogs, chooks, quail etc.  There are different spacial and other considerations for each.
  • Glamour up – don’t be afraid to.  Just because it’s meant to be a productive space, it doesn’t mean it can’t look aesthetically pleasing too.  So do invest in a few ‘hero’ pieces or plants that make the space work.

If you need further suggestions on all or any of the above, do contact us for an onsite consultation!  We charge for the visit and can subsequently design the changes required to your outdoors & quote on implementing the entire transformation for you within your budget.

I engaged Parveen to come up with a landscape design for our front and back gardens. Parveen was very receptive to my ideas and incorporated them into the design, making suggestions where she thought was appropriate but was not pushy about them. She is flexible as to when to meet for discussions and is genuine in her want to help her customers come up with a design within budget and style.

My husband and I wanted a practical and functional backyard to accommodate our two active and growing kids. Previously our backyard was a haphazard zone with no eye appeal whatsoever. The transformation required a substantial amount of hard-scaping so apart from functionality,costs were at the forefront of our minds. The team at Inspiring Landscape Solutions (ILS) worked with us tirelessly through back and forth discussions until we came to an agreed project design and budget. The attention to detail is evidently translated into our now neat, practical and beautiful backyard. The boys absolutely love playing and cycling there and my husband and I enjoy the low maintenance garden beds and vegetable patch. We've harvested a couple of homegrown vegetables, herbs, figs, lemons and oranges from espalier varieties - a space-saving alternative to full trees as suggested by ILS, given that we have limited planting space. The sandstone-paved backyard has provided us an area to entertain with outdoor parties and bbqs.  We love our backyard transformation and would recommend Inspiring Landscape Solutions to those who want a one-stop landscape project design or management service and especially to those who are time-poor and have difficulty imagining what the end result would look like. They are very passionate about their work and will not hesitate to follow-up on your plant progress and are readily helpful when you need some landscape-related or planting advice.
