Abben Art Garden & Landscape Designers are situated on the Mornington Peninsula but service through to Melbourne and surrounds.
We provide independent professional garden design services with personal advice.
There are many reasons to employ a landscape architect and other gardening professionals. These can include the following:
- Enhance your lifestyle. By making your garden user friendly, whether it is a small garden, a large garden or even a small front yard, it becomes an extension of your house, thus making your living space larger. This area can then be used for entertaining, sport, or general family gatherings.
- Add value to your property. Estate agents estimate that a good garden can add 10% to the value of your property. If you are buying with the idea of renovating and selling, a good garden can not only add extra appeal, but will also help to sell your property.
- Add beauty and relaxation to your life. A good garden is a beautiful thing and can help you relax, unwind and escape from the everyday stresses of our busy lifestyles.
A good garden is not just chance, but is usually created through careful planning and nurturing. As a landscape designer of many years experience, I can help you create your dream and save you money by not wasting it on expensive mistakes, for example, pavers, depending on the type, can vary from $25 - $90/m2 just for the materials. So if you have paved areas unnecessarily, then you can waste a lot of money. |

I have seen many gardens where people have put in expensive features, including plants tarchat have ended up being inappropriate and needing to be removed, often at a cost not only in the dollar sense but also in frustration and self-annoyance. It is much easier and cheaper to change things on paper!
Benefits of an Independent Garden | Landscape Design Service
As an independent garden designer not affiliated to any landscapers, Clive and his team can provide impartial advice. If the landscaper and designer are one and the same, then the client has nowhere to go if they are concerned about any aspects of the construction process.
This also applies to plant suppliers and nurserymen who may provide a planting plan only to use plants they grow.
Clive can get independent quotes for your landscaping and planting, using individual contractors and suppliers that are experts in their own specialized fields of construction and plant supply/growth.
Cost:
I will charge a consultation fee for my initial visit, during which time I will ascertain what your needs are and the best way forward. If you do need extra work, then I will be able to give you an idea of the expected cost involved.
