I must be honest I am not the best gardener although I love looking at gardens. My garden at home is what you would call a MESS!!!! So I decided to get the professionals in to help me out.
Mr Nichol man arrived and looked and had heaps to say and I was really excited gave me ideas and made me feel better as my garden was designed for a person who doesn't have a life or a job and spends all day everyday in the garden. (NOT ME). I asked him when could he start and how much? He said I'll price it and send you a quote. The job included pulling out plants I wanted to keep, chopping down 3 shrubs, moving a Camellia brush, spraying, laying weed mate, mulching and replacing some plants. My own quote was maximum $1500-$2000 I received the quote and WOW total price $6500 no way I couldn't believe it. When I think of those make overs on TV the landscaping never ever came to that much someone is exaggerating!!!!!! What a RIP OFF!!!
Alas my perfect garden dreams are shattered!!! I showed Dave and he laughed and said he would do some of the suggestions himself. So, so far the 3 shrubs are gone Camellia moved and lots of weeding done awesome. Maybe my garden may happen I'll keep you posted and show pictures

We used "Jim's Mowing" to do the hedge at the place we had near you...his quote was a quarter of the price the first gardener gave! It's worth checking in with a second party to see if your garden dreams still CAN come true! Plus, the guy who did it was VERY honest, punctual, and hard-working. I'll email you a link!
