About Us

Local councils and others often require Tree Reports, Arborist Reports, Tree Management Plans, Construction Impact Assessments and other Consulting Arborist Services for a wide range of reasons. 

 

The correct retention and/or sensible inclusion of trees within landscape projects will provide sound outcomes and better environmental and aesthetic solutions.

Dangerous trees may need to be reduced, pruned or removed, while others may have been planted or allowed to grow in poor locations, or an inappropriate species selected. Neighbouring or other trees may be impacting on a property.

We have consulted to private and commercial clients in quite diverse circumstances including native vegetation removal and re-vegetation projects.

 

We have lots of experience inspecting trees that may be hazardous or causing damage to homes, buildings or other structures, and believe our work really helps deal with and guide clients through some of the complex planning requirements associated with trees today.

We provide tree reports, consulting arborist services, landscape designs for residential, commercial and all sorts of clients including:

  • Householders
  • Property Owners
  • Developers
  • Builders
  • Architect
  • Councils
  • Building Designers 
  • Town Planners
  • Government Bodies
  • Schools
  • Other Institutions

Outstanding service from beginning to end. We have continual compliments from family and friends about how beautiful and unique our haven is. Thank you Darrell, you really helped make our house a home.

After months dealing with council over the roots of a neighbouring tree, Darrell’s prompt attention and plain speaking made light work of a potentially costly problem. We can’t thank him enough for making himself available to supervise the excavation of our building site to ensure the tree roots were not damaged, writing the required reports before and after attending to our issues at really short notice

Darrell has been a great support to us on a number of diverse projects for years. He designed and managed the landscaping of our new house on an acre with terrific results. He has provided aborist reports reducing our stress dramatically. Heavily involved in our small subdivision he provided fantastic project management and subject matter expertise. We cannot recommend Darrell too highly as his services really have been exemplary

We met Darrell from “Landscapes by Design” through my husband’s work. They chatted about gardening and our new home. We did not know where to start with our landscaping. Darrell had a blank canvas to work with and created a garden that would suit our lifestyle and clay soil. The end product is a fabulous creation of plants in varying sizes, shapes and colours. We are extremely happy with the result and would recommend Darrell to create your landscaping dream.
Stephen & Fiona - Ferntree Gully
Thanks for this Darrell. You have prepared a very thorough and clear tree report and I thank you for this and your advice.

In the storm that occurred shortly after we lodged the application to council part of the River Red Gum by the dam fell towards the house next door falling short of it by inches, but demolishing their shed, the fence and most of the Sequoia sempervirens. As you predicted it failed at the weak spot where the other trunk had recently fallen.

We found Landscapes by Design online and left a small message for Darrell to call us back and discuss our project. We had a few ideas documented where we described with pictures and diagrams the things we envisioned. We lacked the landscaping knowledge and layout skills that only an expert can provide and advise on. This is where Darrell came in and took what we dreamed of and turned it into a reality.
Peter & Silvia - Point Cook
We wanted a really low maintenance, very hardy, drought tolerant garden with some space included for the kids to play in that could be used in other ways down the track. We are so rapt with the results and have been having a ball having some outdoor time. The kids are enjoying playing down ball on our big paved circle. We’ve just added a trampoline in to the bottom part and that is a hit. Nice to be spending more time outside now that it is not a giant ugly weed patch.
