"I was immediately drawn to engage Platylobium as their ethos and designs completely aligned with my values and vision for a dream garden. From the initial meeting, through to the final design, working with Nadia and the team was a delight. During the design phase, the team were always quick to respond to any idea or query with ongoing advice, support and resolutions. Very excited to see how the garden matures, flourishes and integrates into the landscape over the years to come!"

"We found working with Nadia and her team productive and fun. Nadia was highly approachable, able to visit regional Victoria, and there was a very good flow of information and ideas between Platylobium and us. We also appreciated Nadia’s flexible approach (our request was for a plan that we can implement over many years), and the numerous excellent referrals that she provided. We’re extremely pleased with the plan that Platylobium produced, and highly recommend them."

Hi Matt & Nadia, We cannot thank you enough for our beautiful gardens. Nadia, it feels like serendipity that I found you & you turned my vague thoughts into the most exquisite plans. Matt, you are an absolute legend in delivering the reality of Nadia’s concept. Your communication is fantastic & I love that you kept in contact every step of the way. You & your team are hard working, friendly, respectful and have incredible attention to detail, it has been a pleasure having you here. We can’t believe how lucky we are to have had you both creating our dream landscape. I can’t wait to start our next phase, although some serious saving up needs to happen! Much love & success to you both.

"We were so fortunate to have found Platylobium. We have a bush property and needed landscaping after a rebuild. We wanted it to be harmonious with the surrounding forest. Nadia instantly envisioned how soil could be moved to create natural contours and was invaluable in her design and plant advice. We appreciated her flexibility and her patience with us. We just love the outcome."

"Nadia and the team at Platylobium are fabulous and we are very happy with our project. The team were friendly to work with, extremely efficient and offered a professional service. We tried for the last year to do the planting layout ourselves and it just didn't hit the mark. Nadia and her team have nailed our brief. They sourced some beautiful plants and the onsite layout service was great. We can't wait to have them back once the garden is further established."

"We recently had the pleasure of meeting Nadia and Victoria from Platylobium landscape Design. We did a 1 hour on site consultation and got a landscape concept sketch drawn up which was helpful in the process of designing our house. We were really impressed with Nadia’s communication and how quickly she was able to respond to emails and phone calls. Nadia had some fantastic ideas that really compliment our design ideas and offered alternative solutions that may be more budget friendly. We are really looking forward to working with Nadia in the future as we take our concept designs and turn them into reality."
