Feedback from some OLE customers......
My Valued clients: Brian and Julie Fogarty, Crystal Brook SA - Date: July 2018
Thanks Robin for your expert assistance to us with the landscaping of our front garden.
We had been deliberating over “how and what are we going to” for so long engaging OLE’s services was a blessing and well overdue.
Your first contact with us to develop the project was unique and impressed us greatly.
Together we discussed our vision, likes and dislikes, family wishes, and budget which
was then reflected in your comprehensive brief, detail concept plan and plant selection.
We would highly recommend OLE to not only those, who like us needed someone like Robin to get us started, but also to anyone planning their new home or development.
OLE made a “how and what are we going to do” into a pleasurable and exciting project.

Dear Robin,
Thanks for all the ideas and all the hard work. Satisfying to get this done.
I thought I would strike while the iron is hot and do the testimonial - here goes. Use as you wish.
I first met Robin at the Crystal Brook show in August 2017 and from there asked him to come around and have a chat and see what he could offer. Little did I know that one year later we would have completed the whole very large project.
Right from the start, Robin struck just the right balance between listening to what we wanted and offering ideas about how we might proceed. He was very thorough throughout but especially in the concept planning and planting guide. When we first saw the overall colour plan it was very daunting but we cut it down in to various priorities, which made it more manageable. At each stage I was happy to do the grunt work to get things ready, but Robin was willing to find appropriate people to assist if we needed.
The real benefit of having Robin’s expertise was in the planting side of things. We gathered as a family and were all shown how to plant the various bushes and trees, and given jobs to do. Over a day and a half we put in 280 individual plants with drippers and pine chip mulch. In the past we had put plants in and hoped for the best. It was nearly always unsuccessful as we had the wrong plants in the wrong spots and hadn’t given them a fair go.
At each stage (planning, planting etc.) there were costs which were explained at the beginning. I consider it money well spent and a great investment in the property, quite apart from the absolute pleasure of seeing the plants grow and complementing each other. We have done most of the work in Autumn and Winter, and are eagerly awaiting spring to see them take off.
If you have been frustrated in the past in the gardening department, then I would highly recommend engaging Robin to at least come and have a chat. There will be a lot of hard work and there will be an associated monetary cost, but you will get great reward for your effort.
I am happy to be contacted at [email protected] if you want further information.

''We just completed our new house in the middle of an 80 acre property and were in need of landscape ideas. The service Robin provided was very professional. He spent a considerable amount of time talking with us to understand our requirements. He then spent quite a while by himself understanding our site. The brief he provided was extremely accurate which was translated into a concept plan. This gave us lots of good ideas. We are planning to do most of the work ourselves, and did not require a detailed planting plan. To save us money Robin offered a basic planting plan which met our needs. We also requested a sketch of the proposed garden so we could visualise the design. The first sketch did not give us quite what we were after so generously free of charge he redrew the sketch, and gave us a great picture of our future garden. Overall a very professional service.''

‘’ I found OLE by chance when I was in need of a plan for my garden. Robin created a space that was sensitive to my vision of recreating an old garden. His professionalism, research and knowledge of design and plants to complement the environment is to be recommended’’

A wonderful service provided by Robin. His exceptional knowledge, ideas and efficiency was greatly appreciated. Would recommend Robin to anyone wanting to create or improve their garden/landscape. OLE Outdoor Living certainly is a company worth using be it for ideas, having designs drawn up for you or the complete project done. Robin is very honest and reliable. He offers landscaping for all budgets. It really is possible to have your dream or plan come to life. Jan Hancock (Port Broughton).
