Hardscaping Contractors in Port Phillip
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 24, 2015
“My husband had been searching in the local papers for landscapers, and we’d had a few around to quote but had not been impressed. I had come across Houzz and decided to see if we could use it to find gardens that inspired us and see who created them. That’s how we found Ben Carter and we’re so glad we did. We were looking to re-landscape the front garden of our home in McKinnon. It came with a rose garden that had been run down by years of neglectful tenants. We wanted to start over completely. He was so excited that we wanted a native garden and understood that we were after something low maintenance. He got straight to work on a plan which was done within a day or two. The garden itself was completed within just a few weeks, and within our original budget (the low end of the indicated range). Ultimately we added to the plan: we needed a new driveway now, not later, and Ben helped us select the perfect exposed aggregate for it. We also decided that this was the time to set up a rainwater tank, and Ben advised us on size and a colour that ties in with the house and garden. We also realised we needed something to act as a screen outside our bedroom window and he sourced us a beautiful one, from Entanglements whose work I loved, on sale no less. He coordinated professionally with our plumber and identified an excellent tradie to lay the exposed aggregate driveway. And the result? The plants, trees, woodchips, pebbles and rocks he selected (in consultation) tie in with the bricks of our house and garden wall as well as the tree on the verge. We have a sitting area from which to admire the natural features, and to listen to the water in the frog pond he set up at our daughter’s request. In the end, we insisted that he display a sign so people would know who created our garden. We look forward to working with him again in the future. That’s the highest recommendation we can provide.”
Waddell Landscape Design
Hardscaping Contractors in Port Phillip
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 5, 2018
“Rob, Tom, Jed and team have been wonderful in transforming our front garden to reflect the style and structure of our 1880 home. Not knowing much about Australian plant types Rob listened carefully to what I was looking for (nothing is ever too much to ask), creating design choices with multiple varietal choices but is polite at saying when things may not work. A perfect working relationship in my mind which has generated fantastic results! We’ve had several compliments and I couldn’t be happier. Since then Waddell Landscapes has been a constant from continuing to design and create thing like fruit and vegetable planter boxes to transform a dead area of our garden into a working wonderland for our two young kids to ongoing maintenance of our garden.”
Apex Landscapes & Pools
Hardscaping Contractors in Port Phillip
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 18, 2015
“I am the Director of a landscape products company which has been operating for close to 15 years. Our company services leading designers and award winning landscapers, our product being utilised in some of Australia’s most prestigious properties. When it came to landscaping my own home, the obvious choice was Apex Landscapes; the feedback I always heard from their past clients and respect from their industry peers was second to none. I was able to leave Matt, Steve and the team to undertake a detailed landscape and spa without a worry, knowing that this multi award winning company would complete my project on budget, on time and to the highest possible finish. Not only have the team at Apex Landscapes exceeded my high requirements, but we valued the property before and after their work and are thrilled to not only have an amazing cutting edge landscape, but coupled this with a return on our investment in excess of 30% !! I look forward to using them again on my next project.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 15, 2017
“We employed the services of Beautiful Outdoor Spaces to create a garden for our new home. From the initial meeting with Kerri we knew she understood our needs and was able to cater for these perfectly. She has created a space that we love to spend time in. It is a pleasure to look at our beautiful garden and we love the plant selection as it has given us colour, privacy and an enjoyable space. We explained early on our lack of ability in the garden and Kerri has provided us with a low maintenance garden that is a pleasure to spend time in. We highly recommend Beautiful Outdoor Spaces.”

“Chris and his team displayed absolute professionalism during our small/medium garden remodel. Quoting was accurate, they turned up when they said they would, worked solidly to ensure the job was done properly to exacting standards, and the job was completed within my specified time frame. His team were really friendly and approachable throughout and took care to leave the site swept and neat each day, which was very respectful of them. Chris was flexible in his approach to working within our budget and his team's conscientiousness for their work really seems to show. Couldn't recommend Formation highly enough.”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration of a hardscaping project can vary widely depending on the projectʼs complexity, size, material availability, and weather conditions. Smaller projects like a simple patio can take a few days to a week, while larger projects like a complete outdoor kitchen or extensive retaining walls can take several weeks to months. An experienced contractor will provide a realistic timeline upfront, factoring in planning, design approvals, and potential unforeseen delays.
Your hardscaping contractor is a valuable resource in selecting materials that are durable, suitable for your climate, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that the design complements your homeʼs exterior and landscape. They can inform you about the latest trends, such as sustainable and eco-friendly materials, or timeless designs that maintain their appeal. However, trends should be balanced with personal preference and long-term practicality.
Homeowners should clarify their budget, design preferences, and functionality needs. Researching and having inspirational images or a vision board can help communicate your ideas to the contractor effectively. Itʼs also crucial to clear the project area of personal items and, if necessary, secure permits or ensure the contractor handles permit acquisition. Discussing logistics like project access, noise, and dust management upfront can prevent misunderstandings.
Effective communication between homeowners and contractors is key to addressing challenges. Setting clear expectations, having a detailed contract, and establishing regular updates can mitigate issues. Challenges such as weather delays, unexpected ground conditions, or material shortages require flexibility and understanding from both parties. An experienced contractor will manage these challenges professionally, keeping the project on track as much as possible.
When meeting with a potential contractor, inquire about their experience with projects similar to yours, their process from design to completion, timeline and budget estimation, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Itʼs also important to ask for references, certification, insurance details, and how communication will be handled throughout the project. This ensures transparency and sets the foundation for a successful partnership.
Yes, many contractors now offer eco-friendly hardscaping options, such as permeable paving, recycled materials, and locally sourced stones, which reduce environmental impact and can improve your homeʼs sustainability. Discussing these options with your contractor can reveal opportunities to incorporate green practices into your project, from reducing runoff with permeable surfaces to selecting materials that require less energy to produce and transport.
