From homeowners across Northern Beaches.

“Headland block, full salt exposure, and three landscapers had already told us "nothing grows there". Hazel drew a plan that worked with the wind instead of pretending it away. Two years on the garden looks better than the drawings, and the grounds team keeps it that way while we are in the city.”

“Our deck was condemned and the yard behind it was basically a cliff. Fernline terraced the slope, engineered the new wall, and the deck went up on certified footings with all the paperwork. The quote named every timber and every plant. Nothing was vague and nothing moved.”

“They talked us OUT of the big rebuild. Joel showed us the bones were fine and the real problem was drainage, so we did ag-lines, soil work and a replant for less than half our budget. The lawn survived winter for the first time in six years.”

“Everything we planted before Fernline died by autumn. Their planting schedule listed every species with where it goes and why it copes with the salt. We followed the 12-week plan and lost exactly one plant, which they replaced without being asked.”

“Steep block backing onto bush, BAL requirements, council tree rules, the lot. Fernline handled the engineering and the permits and still built us terraces we actually use. The wall has been through two big wets without a millimetre of movement.”

“We manage eleven schemes and the grounds reports from Fernline are the only ones committees never query. Fixed scope, photos after every visit, and problems arrive as a flagged quote instead of an invoice surprise.”

“The design fee felt like a leap until we saw the drawings. Suddenly three competing quotes were comparable because ours was the only scope anyone could actually price against. We built with Fernline and it landed on budget to the dollar.”

“A six-by-four courtyard everyone said was too small to bother with. Fernline designed it like a room: built-in bench, espaliered natives, lighting. It is now the best space in the apartment and the body corporate approved everything first go.”

“Monthly care visits for two years now. The garden still looks like the day they handed it over, and the visit notes tell me exactly what was done and what is coming next season. Worth every cent of the $250.”
