Garden Design

If you are looking at designing or re-designing a garden, it is worth getting in a consultant to get advice and ideas.  The cost of doing so will be more than outweighed by the savings you will make in getting it right first time.  Experience makes the difference in site considerations, plant selection, aesthetics and water usage.  A good designer will work with you to realise your vision and help you create your own sanctuary.

Green Life Soil Co has links with many well-regarded designers and landscapers in the Perth industry.

Have a look at Deryn Thorpe's website (http://www.derynthorpe.com.au/) - Deryn is a well known face in the industry as a consultant, journalist and garden tour guide.  Her extensive knowledge and experience can be available to you for a very reasonable fee.

If native plants are your thing, Sue Torlach (http://www.wildaboutgardens.com.au/) is a landscape designer who specialises in gorgeous and waterwise native gardens.
