100%"Sandra had designed an amazing garden for friends and we didn't consider anyone else when looking for someone to come up with the landscaping concept for the new home we are building. We met on our empty building site and she quickly understood what we wanted and talked us through her ideas in such a way that we could envisage the garden taking shape as we walked around the site. The design concept and plant schedule she presented was everything and more than we had hoped for and we especially… loved the well thought out areas of interest that would be visible from the inside of the house. Communication, professionalism, creativity, price and a genuine desire to bring our landscaping dreams to reality...Sandra's plan is perfect and we cannot wait for the build to start and the garden design to become a reality."Rating by: Ali | Rating posted: 5th Jun, 2021 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: May, 2021Ali•5th Jun, 2021•More details…

Sandra’s design drawings are fantastic, it’s very easy to see her concepts and how they would look in your space.
Now that our garden has been landscaped and her recommended plants planted, we couldn’t be more pleased. The variety of plants create interest and depth, and our previously small and dull back garden has… been transformed into an area we love using.

100%"Its been a pleasure working with Sandra from Flourish on the design for our garden, including decks, paving, planting and spa pool. She is the 3rd landscape designer we have tried (we were unhappy with the designs of the prior 2), and were immediately impressed with her practical and collaborative approach, listening to our requirements and suggesting ideas we had not previously considered. All the way through the design process she was proactive, quick to deal with questions and changes, and… thoroughly professional in meeting timelines and delivering the final plan. The build is now completed, as per Sandra's plan, and we are delighted with the outcome. Sandra is now top of our list for any future landscaping projects, and we unreservedly recommend her services to prospective clients"Rating by: Grant | Rating posted: 16th Jul, 2019 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Apr, 2019Grant•16th Jul, 2019•More details…

10%"Sandra Batley apparently did not listen during detailed briefing, or read notes I provided, (accompanied by lots of photos with examples) on what I hoped to achieve in new courtyard garden, as the 2 things I most wanted, i.e. built-in wooden seat/water feature, were the very things she came back to me on, proposing they be removed because of "budget". In fact, wooden seat proved to be v. cost-effective, as was water feature, which I sourced myself. Also told me too costly to level… the small area where planters/terrace were to go, so her design plan meant I would have had to step down from existing patio, then up again to new terrace, which aesthetically unappealing, and also potential safety hazard. Fortunately, landscaper knew what he was doing, and made it all level, in cost-effective way. Ms Batley asked me to "trust" her "or go and do it yourself" in terms of plant supply! Made mistake of trusting her, which included, unfortunately, pre-paying, although at that point I believed that she "guaranteed" any plants she supplies. For what I got, I found Ms Batley overcharged and underdelivered. When some plants did not arrive, Ms Batley claimed nursery had "dropped the ball". Appears plants not even ordered, as both nursery staff and its owner advised me one lot I ended up getting were just released that morning from another order, and one variety they never stock. Asked Ms Batley twice about this, but she ignored me. I had pretty much lost faith in her by that point, and needed to keep up with planting schedule, so I had to run around and source some of the apparently "unordered" plants myself. Some standards Ms Batley supplied have bendy trunks, other plants delivered were very under-sized, so I had to go and buy more myself to fill the space. Some 60cm plants I got at a nursery were virtually same price as 15cm ones Ms Batley supplied. Some plants arrived needing feeding and one either diseased or "wounded", according to nursery I took it to advise me on what to do. Sent photos of these to Ms Batley, reminding her that her website states she provides plants at a "great price", "quality guaranteed", and that she places an emphasis on "listening to the client and serving their interests above all else". She has never offered to honour any of that, even come and have a look at the plants, or try to resolve matters in any way. She never responded directly to the many issues I recently raised with her about all this and her unsatisfactory service. Instead, I got a v. brief weasil-worded email with an "apology" saying she had "dropped the ball", but hoped I enjoyed the garden! No attempt to rectify anything. Meantime, she had been hassling me, contacting me 3 times, wanting to come and take some photos of my garden for her "new website". So clearly could get to my place for something benefitting herself, but not prepared to make even the slightest attempt to check how things were with the plants she supplied. Despite being unfailingly courteous to Ms Batley myself, I found her abrupt to the point of rude on occasion. All in all, very unsatisfactory and unpleasant experience with Ms Batley/Flourish, who claims to be "customer focussed" and "professional", but in practice for me fell down on both counts. Fortunately, landscaper was brilliant, as was the lighting company, and other suppliers I ended up getting further plants from myself. Clearly do not recommend Ms Batley/Flourish."Rating by: Pamela | Rating posted: 27th Feb, 2019 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Feb, 2019Pamela•27th Feb, 2019•More details…

Sandra… then put us in contact with a preferred contractor who also exceeded all expectation and delivered on time and budget.

Then, when she did the plans were not altered to what we wanted she never listened to us or fully implemented what we wanted in our design.

100%"We used Sandra a year ago to design our new deck and outdoor area and she did such an outstanding job, we asked her to help us in March 16 with our pool/retaining area. Everyone comments on how awesome the deck is and how much value its added to our property. Sandra listened to what we wanted to achieve, designed the area and the plants to maximise the space and provide privacy all within a manageable budget. I find Sandra helpful (offers tips on plant maintenance, supplies names and… contacts of contractors and can even source plants).

100%"We had just finished a totally renovated house but hadn't yet attempted to do anything with the dismal outside space leftover from 12 months of builder's work and neglect. After searching online for someone to help us with a design we decided Sandra was just the person we needed. I'm happy to say that we now have the absolutely perfect outside space that we initially dreamt of. Sandra understood exactly what we wanted to achieve in our brief - to turn a previously unused area of our house… into a tropical oasis with indoor/outflow flow that we would use everyday. Sandra provided a fantastic, creative plan using hard materials, plants and features. She suggested we use John Eagleton to do the work and he did an absolutely wonderful job in bringing the plan to life. I would highly recommend Sandra as she is professional, has modern and creative ideas, good communication and is value for money. We have spent all summer using our new space and just love it."Rating by: Adrienne | Rating posted: 27th Feb, 2016 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Dec, 2015Adrienne•27th Feb, 2016•More details…

Although capable of all ground prep and planting we had no idea of exactly what to plant to achieve the lush easy look we wanted.
We found Sandra to be extremely helpful and professional. She is completely approachable and friendly and listens and asks questions and then efficiently sets about… designing plans for the areas.
She discussed all the plants, positioning and ensured we were at ease and confident with what to do.

The place is transformed even though it was a relatively small job. She did not attempt to foist a pre-conceived idea of her own on us but genuinely listened to what we wanted and successfully developed and brought into being the barely-formed ideas we had.
The organisation of the job, involving another sub-contactor for… some activities, was without problems and was reliably done at the agreed time. Communication was excellent throughout. I'm no expert on landscaping prices but I certainly feel we've had value for money.

100%"We enjoy working with Sandra through the whole project, also and very satisfied with the final result. Sandra is the most recommended landscape designer for whose who are look for a designer who can convert your sketchy ideas into detailed design and deliver an excellent result of what you see on the draft.
While the design phase, she is very diligent to help us to find the right plants that can meet our requirements. Every time when we had questions, she followed up and get back to us in… the same day. Sandra is very good at communication, which is crucial for her job, to determine what we want and explain why we need this and why we don’t need that (I think this is very important to help us to trim our idea). And also Sandra is a patient and elegant lady to work with, always be very professional and trustworthy.
"
Beyond her design, Sandra visited the site regularly and worked closely with the gardener to make sure the delivering is exact the same as what we see on the draft. Actually it is the same as what we expect. Meantime this also saves a lot of our time to communicate with gardeners and find the issues in advance. At the same time, she not only focuses on just the landscape but also notice other very detailed stuffs in the whole back yard. For example, she found some timber in our deck after removing the original trimming edge is not consistency with others, right after that she made a recommendation to us and worked with the carpenter to fix that. This make us feel very comfortable and confident that she will deliver us an excellent result.
Once again thank you very much Sandra.Rating by: Zhenyu | Rating posted: 8th Mar, 2014 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Jan, 2014Zhenyu•8th Mar, 2014•More details…

Our work was cut out for us with a full interior/exterior reno and I had no time to work out what to do with the full site. There was masses of work to be done, heaps of "serious" planting to do for privacy and whatever we spent we had to recover in the sale price.
Thankfully I found Sandra through this site. I was overseas when I first contacted her, she listened to my… thoughts and promptly did a site inspection and fed back with some great advice. She priced up some options and I then got to meet her on site for a walk through. With her input it didn't take long at all to develop a plan.
"
Sandra is very competent and knowledgable so after seeing the value I'd got from her consulting service, I decided to hire her to source all the plants and supervise the work so I could focus on the renovation.
Sandra never lost sight of what we were trying to accomplish, she allocated the budget so thoughtfully it was as if she was spending her own money and making decisions about her own home.
Because of the excellent relationship she has with her suppliers she was able to attract top quality landscaping talent at very short notice and negotiate with suppliers better than I could ever have.
To top it off Sandra was super supportive and really positive throughout the whole process and came up with some really terrific low cost solutions and saved me from spending money in places that would not have added much value. Sandra knew exactly where to spend money for maximum effect and exactly where to save money.
Sandra worked extremely hard to help sell our property, was terrific at keeping us updated on progress and was always available to talk through any questions we had. We felt Sandra always acted in our best interests which enabled us to trust her implicitly and resulted in us feeling far less stressed than otherwise would have been the case. We truly feel that very few people could have even come close to achieving the result that Sandra obtained for us and we would engage her again in a heartbeat!

Sandra came to the property to talk with us about our ideas and a few thoughts of her own. We were happy with the whole process so asked for a quote, which was sent to us within two days.
Since then, we have had a full design completed that satisfies almost every criteria we asked for, minus a couple of ideas that would not have… been suitable. The plan is easy for us to understand and can now use it to talk to contractors with and eventually get the design implemented. Sandra was extremely knowledgeable and we felt we were in safe hands with her design experience."Rating by: John | Rating posted: 27th Feb, 2012 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Feb, 2012John•27th Feb, 2012•More details…

95%"We engaged Sandra after searching the internet, viewing her web page and then searching for more information on her. We gave her a challenging brief, which fell outside her standard packages. We were short on funding and looking for a 5 year plan that we could work towards in developing our residential section. Sandra delivered a concept design that we are very happy with on time and on budget. She is an absolute professional. We would not hesitate to recommend her"Rating by: Jason | Rating posted: 4th Feb, 2010 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Feb, 2010Jason•4th Feb, 2010•More details…

Sandra listened to what we were looking for,outlining her services and costs.She followed up my phone call via email the following day with detailed information..
Her communication with us throughout has been first class, her friendly approachable manner has made our project so much eaisier, from her initial plans, right through to her arriving to place our… plants ready for us(and some very helpful friends)to plant.The quality of the plants which Sandra supplied were first class.
All our pants are now in, ready for the next stage of our exciting new garden to unfold!

She listened to what we wanted and has come up with some great ideas and practical suggestions on a theme, layout and materials.
Well worth the investment to get started in the right direction with a complete concept to work towards.

100%"This is the second time I have used Sandra, I loved what we did in the garden last year and it has all thrived and looks so fabulous we had Sandra back and have now conquered a ghastly bank that was an eyesore for 15 years. In a matter of weeks it has been transformed to an attractive, low maintenance feature - Sandra is a magic woman!!! I have wasted so much money at garden centres over the years planting the wrong things in the wrong places that end up dying or looking bitsy, but with… Sandras advice my garden is looking great. She also talked me through the maintenance of last years planting and identified some disease on a couple of my plants that I didnt even know was there.
I plan to have Sandra back again in the spring to do "round the back" and get her in each spring and autumn to pick her brains for maintenance.

I think if you need a quickstart option without spending a lot of money a consultation is a great place to start and can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.

Her advice was very workable and does not require expensive changes that probably would not add to the value anyway. Focus was on the first impression in the front garden and around the entertainment terrace at the back. Already acting on her advice the garden just by clearing out the surplus bits but retaining the good bits is looking much better already. That without having… started on limited replacement planting for the tired/old parts that had to go. I have just booked her in to advice on my garden too to get that ready for sale too.

100%"We currently have a circa 500sqm section, quite steeply sloped in parts, heavy clay soil, with irregular lawn growth amongst a multitude of clutter consisting of mature trees and various other plant species with no common theme. In some ways we feel that our section lacks its own ?identity? from our immediate neighbours, and has very limited outdoor living space.
Even though we are probably above average DIYers, we decided to invest in a professional landscape designer. Like a lot of… people, we are budget conscious, and sought the advice of a Sandra at Flourish as we felt well thought-out ideas with a fully rendered plan could assist in giving greater certainty of cost when it came to consulting with contactors. Naturally, we also wanted our ideas translated into the best design possible for a modest budget (around 5% of our property?s value).
"
We decided to use Sandra?s services solely based on the feedback from this website, and we couldn?t rate her services highly enough. We provided Sandra with a ?wish list?, and in all honesty would have been delighted if she was able to accommodate half of our ideas. However, each and every thing we listed (including budget) was carefully considered as part of the final concept. We were kept well informed about the process throughout and were even able to meet with Sandra outside normal business hours.

100%"Sandra completed a concept and planting plan for our property. She incorporated all our wishlist into a design that was just perfect. The design cleverly overcomes several tricky aspects of our site and is going to look fantastic. We were really impressed with Sandra's professionalism and communication. We knew exactly where we were at every step of the way. We highly recommend Sandra.

100%"My husband and I had been thinking of attempting to do something with our sloping, clay backyard which was never utilised except for hanging out the washing. We first came across Sandras designs at Petal & Pots in Albany, and decided to have an initial consultation with her. Little did we know when we meet her that she would completely change the way we lived and entertained outside. Sandra took no time at all thinking along the same lines as my husband and I in what we wanted to achieve… with our backyard. Her fantastic garden design and plant selection was better than what she had designed on paper. The flowing lines, colour, harmony and peace that we now have in our garden is magical. All the way along the design process Sandra showed us in detail what effect we could achieve with plants selection and colour, which made us both realise that we had the right person for the job. Sandra worked quietly behind the scenes with our landscapers and helped to achieve the garden oasis we have now. Because of the fantastic job that Sandra has achieved on our backyard, we have also asked her to design our front garden and driveway and work again in conjunction with our landscapers to achieve a whole property oasis. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to work with a professional garden designer and know that your garden dreams will come true."Rating by: Lynn Smith | Rating posted: 21st Jan, 2007 | Contact: Sandra Batley | Job date: Jan, 2007Lynn Smith•21st Jan, 2007•More details…
