Make Your Dream Garden Come True with Expert Landscape Gardeners

If you think about where you like to relax around your home it is quite likely you’ll pick your garden as your favourite spot. There are many ways in which gardens can be a source of enjoyment and this can range from being a peaceful place to rest on hot summer days or somewhere you can entertain friends and family.

Design Your Garden Around Your Lifestyle and Tastes

It will often be the case that you want to design your garden based on your own lifestyle and tastes. This can be a big task to undertake by yourself and you may need the help of landscape gardeners to create what you desire.

A landscape gardener can help if you already have an outline in your mind of what you want to achieve or if you want ideas of what might be possible. The starting point will be a consultation so that a design can be drawn up that also takes into account your budget for the project.

The plan can be based on how all the spaces are to be used as well as incorporating different features and plants. This is where an expert can help as they will have previous experience of creating similar designs and will be able to offer suggestions to make sure you are happy with the end result.

Add Features and Enhancements to Your Garden

It is worthwhile considering some of the features that can enhance a garden and which may be integral to creating something suited to your own tastes. For instance, if tranquillity is important to you, then you might like the idea of a water feature which can give you a feeling of being nearer to nature and attract natural creatures such as various species of birds.

There are also rockeries and steps that can be incorporated as well as paths and fences. These can all contribute to a more peaceful environment and can also be designed to create as much privacy as possible.

These kind of features will normally need specialist help which is why landscape gardeners can be a good investment as they have the knowledge to construct everything in the right way to avoid problems in the future.

There are other specific features where expert help is required and this includes decking and patio areas. These are popular areas of a garden and a place you can sit and relax by yourself as well as for entertaining visitors.

As every garden is different to some extent, getting the right advice to create a decking area or to lay a patio can pay off in the long run. These can be focal points for your garden and a good selling point if you plan on selling your property.

Take Care of Maintenance

It is not just getting the look you want for your garden but you also need to consider the ongoing maintenance. If you are a keen gardener, you may be more than happy to spend plenty of time outside keeping everything looking great.

However, if you don’t have the time or the inclination to do maintenance work once everything is completed, a landscape gardening company can also offer maintenance services. This might be the right option for you if you want your garden to continue looking great throughout the year.

Landscape Redesigning

There may be reasons in the future that you want to use a good landscape gardener again which can include adding extra features as your budget allows such as garden lighting and pergolas.

There are always new ideas that you can add or you might need to change things as a result of your lifestyle. If you start a family and want to make your garden children friendly this can mean a change of priorities. For instance, a pond may not be such a good idea from a safety point of view and you may prefer a kids’ play area instead.

It can be really satisfying to design the garden of your dreams and landscape gardeners can help you to achieve what you desire. This will help you to create a place you can enjoy for many years to come as well as being a good selling point if you ever decide to move.


OUR REFERRALS

  • Paula and Jon Whitty
    We knew that we would need a landscape designer with imagination, creativity and the ability to listen to our requirements. When you came to our house you took time listening to what we wanted and the scale of the project. This was important to us, because we were on a budget and timeline. You then offered wonderful suggestions within the scope and offered details. You have transformed our featureless front garden into a beautiful space where the plantings and lovely stone features enhance the natural contours of the yard and existing trees. Our front yard is now more welcoming and complements the look of the house. You gave us a yard that is easy to maintain and and is beautiful in every season. We are extreemly happy with the quality of the workmanship, and your professional nature, and highly recommend you to all our friends. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

    In November 2012 we commissioned Teedo Beggs to landscape our property in Mount Macedon. The distinguishing qualities that determined our decision to go with Teedo (over other companies we had approached) were his knowledge of indigenous/native horticulture, his understanding of and familiarity with the gardens of Mount Macedon, and his ability to help us to articulate and visualize our own garden on what was a modern architectural structure on a sloping building site. The ‘landscape challenges’ Teedo took on were significant, beginning with a sharply sloping block, significant ‘drainage’ issues, and the presence of large forest eucalyptus trees that we wished to keep. Teedo was able to masterfully incorporate our desire to create a garden that would complement or enhance the sharp angular features of the architecture, protect existing vegetation, include and incorporate native/indigenous plantings, build dry rock retention walls, and provide us with a beautiful outdoor living space that we desperately needed. Teedo’s approach to his work impressed us from the outset because of his uncompromising high standards and attention to detail. Whilst the end results in mid-March may have reflected Teedo’s detailed landscape designs to a T, they far surpassed our own expectations and dreams. Our house on a slippery red slope of Mount Macedon had been transformed into a home with a truly beautiful and functional garden. We are exceedingly proud of what Teedo was able to realize and we highly recommend his work- without reservation.

    Teedo Beggs responds to each garden space as an artist, the plants are his media and the landscape is his canvas. He introduces sculptural elements through natural and constructed materials. The result is an ever-changing work of art. How do we know this? Our family was fortunate enough to be able to commission Teedo to transform our country garden into a magical place. Using existing plant forms, such as established trees he creatively introduced new excitement into the landscape. The keyhole design of the formal front lawn added a theatrical element to the entry of the property. Visitors were drawn into a green, scented walkway off the sweeping drive through rendered pillars with the promise of more beyond. This opened out into the drama of the larger garden where the eye was greeted by a sensual vista full of wonderful perfumes, colour and graduating forms that complimented the enormous Golden Elm. A wrought iron handmade bench seat embedded in a hidden position ensured a comfortable view. Visitors were then coaxed downwards to the unfolding garden scenes around the house. Beautiful features were integrated into the many gardens created on the property. A graduated fishpond with its babbling waterways was set in a ‘Fairy Garden’. A tennis wall on the court beyond was superbly engineered and constructed to appear as a ‘crumbling ruin’ from another era. A post and rail fence of cypress enclosed a kitchen garden that featured generous raised beds of vegetables, accompanied by fruit trees and red brick pathways. This was a joy to work in and allowed us to feed our family. Teedo Beggs was not only artistic in his vision and execution of his ideas, but he was very professional, sensitive to our needs as a client and respectful in the way he conducted himself and his team throughout the project. We would highly recommend him

    We have engaged Mr Beggs (Teedo) now for three different landscaping jobs at our residence in Woodend. All jobs have involved both design and construction. In respect of design, Teedo impressed us with his ability to listen and understand our requirements. This lead to a number of design ideas of which we were very pleased. In all cases we then engaged Teedo in the construction. We found his work to be both competitively priced and was completed on time as agreed, despite some minor modifications, at our initiation. The work was finished to a high standard and we have had no reservation in recommending him to our friends and colleagues.

    Being determined to make a garden from an overgrown bush block on the steep slopes of Mt. Macedon had/has it’s challenges. Luckily there is a community here of skilled garden loving and knowledgeable peoples. Most of them think that they are gifted and a few of them actually are. Teedo has an abundant and creative mind that can spit out real and never thought of options and can even more importantly manage these ideas and concepts through to a smooth and real outcome. His forte’ is structural garden design and then the project management/implementation of that design. He has an accurate and unusually quick eye for land/earth contours, levels and drainage. These lines evolve into structure, light and shade, harmony and reflections. Working with him has been a straightforward and professional affair. I have never given him a cheque without feeling pride, happiness and goodwill.
