Landscaping is much more than bunging a few plants in the ground, and covering it with mulch. A good landscape design cleverly blends surroundings with hard landscaping elements such as paths, retaining walls and soft landscaping elements such as plants to create a visually appealing yet functional design.

By now we hope you have been motivated to enter the $20 000 landscaping competition we are running in conjunction with Waldecks Garden centres. The lucky winner will have a garden transformed into paradise and installed by the professional Waldecks Landscaping team so Sue thought she would give you an insight into the guys who bring it all together.

Anyone with a ute and a shovel can become a landscaper and this was the reason that Waldecks Landscaping was established. The Garden centres saw a need for a professional team to install a quality product from start to finish and can now offer garden design and installation services.

It is the job of these guys to put plans into reality and it is the quality of the finished job that really sets landscapers apart.

John Mossop has been landscaping for many years over the world, and has bought his international experience of residential and commercial properties to Perth.

In the last 12 months they have been designing gardens that range from $5000 through to $50,000 and beyond. One of the most important things is being a good listener during a consultation because they are dealing with peoples dreams for their garden. These day?s people are pretty time poor so they concentrate on low maintenance plants that look good year round.

As well as saving you time, Waldecks also saves you money. As part of the whole landscape package you get a V.I.P. card which entitles you to a 10% discount of all plants at all Waldecks stores.

Anton leads the team that puts all the fantastic gardens in place. After 14 years in the industry he has seen many trends come and go. Landscaping has undergone a big change over this time. They find that alot more timber decking, feature walls, new kinds of paving that are coming out constantly are all adding to the features that can go into the landscape package.

Now is the time to get the team to have a look at your backyard because they are offering a 10% discount off the price of a home garden design. This is limited to residential customers only and all you need to do is ring the head office and book.
