And Alison’s award-winning designs are converted into superb landscaping by David. A prize-winning team to provide clients with the best service! 

QUALITY DESIGN; QUALITY PRODUCTS; QUALITY PLANTS; QUALITY SERVICE

Timandra is one of the leaders nation-wide, in sustainable garden design. With 25 years as a registered specialist sustainable design and landscaping provider, and significant awards in both SA and Vic, this experience is telling. Alison has been designing gardens for over 35 years, with Timandra first registered in January, 1995.

Sustainability can use plants that are native, exotic or both. It is about how the site is interpreted from the outset. These gardens are designed to last. Alison’s design skill will enable advice on any style of garden; the prerequisite being the style of home that the garden is to embrace. The word sustainable is used as a catch-word by others who have no understanding of the true meaning. Alison is a sustainable landscape design expert, with numerous industry awards to match.

It costs money to remove an existing garden. So gardens of poor design and landscaping can effectively reduce a property price if previous work has been done badly. Substandard design and landscaping can have significant negative flow-on effects.

If you want quality from the outset, it’s better to use a business that has 25 years hands-on experience and awards to match. Timandra is that business, able to compete with Australia’s best for sustainability, but choosing to live and work regionally, providing top quality gardens at regional prices.

Alison makes every effort to retain what she thinks will work with a new design. But some plants are just not worth retaining, especially if they are short-lived. Alison’s designs are classic, working well with both contemporary and traditional designs. But she uses plants that last, with styles that last. Her work is not remotely fad-driven; that will be outmoded within a couple of years. Alison also respects the use of lawn as a sustainable choice, with a variety of plants for biodiversity.

Well designed, sustainable gardens entice a  variety of birds to the garden. They are also low-maintenance after a few years, because the plants are properly spaced from the outset, not requiring pruning to keep them within bounds. 

Timandra provide a without-par follow-up service for landscaping clients. This is provided free to clients with conditions. But this service, for 2 years post completion of the project, is paramount to the long-term longevity of the project. A real rapport is then developed with Alison and the client over this period, with every assistance given to ensure that the garden continues to thrive beyond her visits. Its about professionalism and leadership in the industry. Timandra is without a par in Victoria as sustainable landscape providers, from Mt Gambier through to Geelong and beyond by arrangement.
