Testimonials

We recently engaged David to design and construct our front and back courtyards of our townhouse in North Fitzroy. He listened to our needs and provided us with an excellent design plan and quote. David completed the job on time and within budget. It exceeded our expectations and is a highlight of our renovated townhouse. Both courtyards are spectacular at night. We have no hesitation in recommending his high quality services.

Thank you Jana & Chris.
I am pleased you are enjoying your new garden.

We recently decided to prepare our home for sale and were recommended to Spencer Garden design. David was excellent with his ideas and his plant selection was spot on. What an amazing transformation. I would highly recommend David to anyone and would happily use his services on our next project.
Well done!

David redesigned and rebuilt our backyard in Northcote during October/ November. From the first consultation to the last day he was most professional in all he (and his team) did. His great strengths were: listening to what we wanted, being open to feedback and requests, offering alternative solutions, meticulous attention to detail; great communication skills and completing the project in a timely manner. We love the big veggie patch and screens he constructed and the watering and lighting systems are working very well. David is highly professional and we would recommend him to anyone requiring a creative and high quality outcome. Thanks David!

David did a sensational job transforming our front garden; it’s radically improved the street appeal of our house. All of his work was very precise, he did what he said he would and solved all of the little surprises that were discovered along the way.

David has done an amazing job landscaping my backyard. Every night I like to come home an go straight out the back to admire the work.

David is hard working and full of great ideas. All work was done with minimal fuss, and he is always considerate in regards to neighbours. Could not be happier with the work David and his team have done.

Thanks again David!

We had David and team landscape our backyard to create a child friendly, lush space with mostly natives and fruit. We also wanted to 'soften' the utilitarian look of our carport next to the garden. David nailed the brief, was flexible to work within our budget and timelines. David had many good suggestions, he sent us a list of key natives and was very efficient and hardworking with execution.

We were so pleased with the quality garden we got David to spruce up our front yard, add plants to our deck and adapt our verandah/vine. Highly recommend!

After trying for 6-7 years ourselves to design and grow a native area in our garden, we invested in bringing David on board... and wow what a difference that has made for the garden.
He thinks outside the box and presents it in a manner that we understand and can embrace. working transparently with the costs and within our budget he was a joy to work with and i would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David for any project, large or small.

David understood perfectly what I was looking for! He redisgned my front and back yard, which are very small spaces. But now, it looks more generous, and more usuable for lounging. David was listening to my needs and made perfect beautiful design around it. The work was done very professional, and the work space was left prestine. I am over the moon with my new garden!

I highly recommend David. He is a dedicated hard worker, totally reliable. He has great ideas but is adaptable if you change your mind or need to work around an issue. He is a good communicator and works to your budget. Our garden brings me delight every day. I will never attempt to manage my own garden design again!!

I cannot recommend Spender Garden Design and Horticultural Services more highly.

We recently had a pool installed and needed our backyard landscaped. David's beautiful innovative design ideas and plant selections were amazing. He took into consideration our requirements for a family and pet friendly space and worked with us to provide a garden that was bespoke and within our budget. He solved several problems that had been concerning us including an unsightly shed and a privacy issue. His reliability and work ethic was second to none.

Thanks to David we now have a garden that I am immensely proud of. It's beautiful, perfectly suits our lifestyle, and just as importantly, is easy to maintain.
