Buying a house that hasn’t been touched for decades could be one of the most exciting things you ever do. But what might it cost, how long might it take, and what problems might arise along the way? Thinking about these issues before signing the contract is quite simply the sensible thing to do. It’s about weighing up the potential as well as the risks, and going ahead knowing that you’re making the right decision.
When we first visited this unloved semi-detached family home with our design-conscious clients, it had suffered years of neglect. At this stage, they were nothing more than prospective buyers, but we could already reassure them that this house would be worth their while. Yes, it needed some serious love, attention and money, but we would be with them on the journey to turn it into the home of their dreams.
We took care of planning and building control and kept tight hold of the budget and the schedule, helping our client to make informed and timely decisions. Most importantly, we saved them the worry and stress of coming up against the unknown.
The house is already paying them back handsomely, and not just in terms of value. They love the natural, honest materials, the interesting geometry and the way the light falls. With a rear extension, additional storey to the side and contemporary garden house, they have all the space they’ll ever need. And their three children can’t quite believe their luck – they have double-height bedrooms with playful mezzanine beds. Everyone’s happy, even the dog.
Decorelm
For this bedroom design, the key concept was to optimise space and provide a functional furniture solution. In order to include a small double bed, wardrobes and a work space we carefully considered multiple floor plans to ensure we could make the most of the space to work our clients’ day-to-day life. Something we could potentially consider is multi-use furniture, such as a combined desk and wardrobe solution, depending on availability of products and their dimensions.
With multiple furniture requirements in a small space, there can be a risk of the room being overwhelmed. So, to prevent this, a light and neutral colour palette maximises natural light and forms a bright and airy atmosphere. Painting the walls white balances the room with a complimenting lime-washed feature panelling to introduce texture which elevates the design. Minimal decor accessories, from greenery to vases, tastefully bring interest and character without cluttering the space.

This large sloped lot in Serrano was a new construction project and required low water demand planting with a new pool & backyard entertainment space for the family. To mitigate potential fire risks and maintenance on the rear slopes we installed a native "Mow Free" grass on the slopes which can be kept green with minimal water or not irrigated after getting established which would turn brown in the summer and green in the winter.
Five Star Tree Care
It’s important to make sure that all trees on your property are healthy and in good condition. This means hiring professional tree trimming services to maintain your trees yearly in order to keep them looking beautiful and healthy. In late winter or early spring is the best time to trim your trees. Doing so will help to improve the new growth that happens later in the spring. But fruit bearing trees and damaged trees can benefit from careful pruning in the summer. It takes an expert to skillfully trim trees during the summer without damaging them or causing harm and our team at Five Star Tree Services is just a call away to help you with your tree trimming needs!
Why Trim Your Trees?
By trimming your trees annually, this will not only open up your landscaping, which allows more sunlight to get to your property, but there are many other benefits.
These can include:
-Keep Trees Healthy and Promote Growth
When you trim your trees in the spring, before they start producing buds, this helps to stimulate more new growth, which helps to keep trees in excellent condition. This can be especially important for saplings as it encourages them to fill out nicely and in a controlled and structurally sound way. If you are not maintaining your trees properly, they can become too dense, which causes a bunch of problems. One being that it restricts the amount of sunlight getting to all the leaves and it reduces the amount of nutrient circulation needed to support the tree.
Professional tree pruning properly aids in tree growth and its overall aesthetic. Cutting off unneeded or unwanted branches allows other parts of the tree to grow easier. Ridding the tree of these extra branches also stimulates more leaf and fruit production.
-Increased Safety
Your landscape is affected when you neglect to take care of your trees, along with everything else on your property. If you have any dead trees remaining on your property, not only are you putting yourself at risk of injury, but you are putting your family, neighbours, pedestrians, and guests at risk as well. Dead or damaged branches can also be a hazard as they could fall at any time and impact with anyone standing too close to it, or it can fall on your house, which is another issue altogether, if it causes damage. Luckily, you are able to avoid all of this by simply having regular trimmings that will keep your trees healthy. You also need to make sure that all branches close to power lines are cut. This especially, should only be done by a trained professional in order to avoid potential electrocution.
-Increase Production of Fruit
If you are lucky enough to have a fruit bearing tree, it is especially important to have it professionally trimmed before and after it fruits. Doing so helps to improve its overall health and ability to bear fruit by getting rid of unhealthy branches. New fruit also develops and spurs for bearing fruit for the following year.
-Manage Spreading Diseases
Tree branches that are damaged tend to be prone to diseases which are able to spread to other plants and trees in your yard. Branches that are dead also have the potential to easily fall with any wind and especially during a storm. Severely damaged branches can even fall without reason. When you get your trees trimmed and pruned regularly, this prevents these things from happening. It also prevents spreading disease to other trees. Any disease branches should especially be trimmed if they are close to where kids play, people walk, or by doors.
-Increase the Value of Your Property and Overall Appearance
Continuous maintenance and trilling will improve the aesthetic of your property. It controls clutter and opens up the space of the landscaping. Meaning that the curbside appeal to your property increases. This is especially important if you are planning to sell your house, which will actually raise the value of your property. The first step in enhancing the appearance of your property is properly taking care of your trees. The first thing people see when they pull up to or go past your house is the trees. By simply pruning your trees you can make a good impression on potential buyers and your neighbours as well.
-Safeguarding Your Property
Owning a house is the biggest investment you will probably ever make. Making the effort to maintain and increase its value by keeping it in good condition should be your first priority. By trimming your trees regularly, you will be protecting your investment. Not to mention this also allows you to enjoy a nicely manicured property.
Why Professionals Are Essential
Professionals help to improve the health and overall condition of your trees. Trying to trim or prune your trees when you don’t know how can be detrimental. This is why hiring a professional, who has the right knowledge and tools, is better than trying to do it yourself.
-Cost-Effective
Think of it as a short-term expense for a long-term return on your investment. Allowing professional arborists to do your tree maintenance can potentially help to negate the costs of injuries attained from DIY home improvements related to trees, replacements and repairs.
-Skilled and Experienced
Real tools required for trimming a tree need to be handled properly and by the appropriate people. If a regular person were to try and use these tools, the end result could be injury and property damage. This is especially true for any trimming required around power lines. All professionals will have the right experience and skills required to wield these tools in a safe way. This minimizes the likelihood of hazards, injuries, and life-threatening incidents.
-Proper Tools
Heavy-duty chainsaws, ladders, and protective gear are all needed to safely and properly trim a tree. When you hire a professional, they have all the required tools and more. Meaning that you won’t have to go out and buy these tools yourself. As a professional, they also make sure that their tools are reliable and well-maintained in order to efficiently get the job done well.
-Insured
Professionals are also always insured with liability insurance when doing jobs to cover any damages or injuries attained while working. They are able to also provide a guarantee for the safety of your property and belongings while they are doing a job for you.

Subdivision & Construction Management
Having owned this property for many years our client came to us knowing that her property had some development potential but unsure of exactly what potential it had or how to go about optimizing it. After investigating it and the value of surrounding properties we agreed that a simple demolish, divide & build solution would be best in this case as the old home was sitting across 2 existing lots.
Rough project numbers are as follows: Approximate value at start = $675k. Total approx. project cost = $686k. On completion approx. value = $1.56+M. Notional gain = $200k+, but she's not selling - why would she! In her own words "........they helped (us) put together the idea in (our) imagination of building 2 houses on our particular block and it has gone spectacularly .....the process was very slick and quick.......from whoa to go (we) really didn't have to worry too much; it was great!" - Andrew & Judy Batianoff - Graceville
