Testimonials

Choosing Backyard Creations for the complete landscape redevelopment of our one-acre family property in Margaret River was the best decision we made. Aspects of the property, including the feature of the landscape, a winter creek, had unfortunately fallen into disrepair — it was filled with weeds, rubble, and sludge, making the entire area unusable. Now, the view from the house is one of beauty; overlooking a revitalised landscape filled with stunning native flora and a manageable garden.
The project scope was huge, but the team tackled everything with professionalism and dedication. They performed a significant waterway restoration, incorporating beautiful rock pitching, riffles and rapids to restore its natural flow, along with essential drainage and site-wide irrigation. They transformed the grounds by installing new garden beds, planting hundreds of endemic species, and even created fauna habitats in the trees. The addition of a lovely boardwalk along the creek, a beautiful firepit area for 12+ people, and a peaceful hammock/rest spot has made the property truly come alive. They also completed significant civil works along driveways, retaining walls and staircases.
Despite a prolonged and disrupted construction process, filled with considerable on-site challenges, the team never shied away from the work. They always worked collaboratively with us to achieve the best result, and they did it all with a smile.
We cannot speak highly enough of the core team:
Nina was instrumental, patiently designing a stunning landscape while managing the input and vision of a family filled with many – strong – opinions.
Steve's management was exceptional, especially in navigating a complex project and gracefully putting up with my constant changes.
Ash managed the team on-site brilliantly, handling every challenge the job threw at him with patience and a proactive approach.
Backyard Creations has given our beloved family property a new lease on life. We now have a beautiful space to look out upon every day.
We highly recommend them for any complex or large-scale landscaping project in the region.

S Murphy, Margaret River
We were searching for landscapers for our small home site. We wanted something quite specky and detailed, and Backyard Creations website resonated with us.
Our first site meeting went down really well, and Steve and Nina put forward new ideas that merged well into our thoughts and plans.
We were very happy with Nina’s concept design and after a few minor design changes and a budget review, we were happy to proceed.
Site works went very smoothly, the Backyard Creations team were excellent, timely, courteous, friendly and did a quality job.
Some plantings were smaller than we anticipated due to us overlooking pot sizes put forward in the proposal. In hindsight we would have nominated larger pot sizes in some areas.
Nine months down the track, our garden has taken shape and is looking fantastic given the short growing time.
We would recommend Backyard Creations to anyone who is looking for a quality job and something above the normal.

J & R Wallace, Dunsborough
We are incredibly happy with the work done by Steve and the team at Backyard Creations. We started the process with a design consult, sharing the key things we wanted. Steve and Nina listened but also provided perspective and ideas based on their experience. The design turned into the perfect blend of functional spaces we were looking for, with suggestions based on the experience of Steve and the team.

We then proceeded to the construction phase, where we found the team to be highly professional, enthusiastic with great attention to detail. The on-site team and Steve communicated very well throughout, letting us know what was coming, any considerations or things to be mindful of. We couldn't be happier with the end result and wouldn't hesitate recommending Backyard Creations.

The end result of the design and landscaping by the Backyard Creations landscaping team at our home in the Yallingup hills is truly wonderful.
Our existing garden whilst natural and beautiful, was overgrown, undefined, and limited in its use for us as a family.
Steve and Nina from Backyard Creations listened carefully to our brief and the result is a beautiful space that really enhances our home and one that we will use for years to come.
A sloping block provided some challenges with water run-off and differing levels, but all of this was addressed during the planning stages and the use of coffee rocks from the block, poured concrete steps and corten planter boxes has given us a very accessible garden with various areas for us to use in different ways.
There were a few small challenges during the onsite process, however the end result is outstanding and the entire team’s continued efforts to achieve this was greatly appreciated.
We absolutely LOVE our new garden and are already spending more time outside than in, something we were so hoping would happen.

Neil & Kylie, Yallingup
We are very happy with the Steve and his team at Backyard Creations. Steve is very up front and honest and was easy to work with throughout the whole process. Job started and finished when he said it would.
The team are very polite and professional and always turned up at the time they said they would.
The job was completed on time and to a very high standard.
We look forward to Steve and his crew coming back and completing the rest of the landscaping at our place.

T & M Hall, Augusta
OMG! The landscaping looks absolutely amazing. It has well and truly exceeded our expectations. When you said ‘we’ve got this’, you were right.
Can’t thank you and your team enough for creating something special that really works alongside our Shack. Very happy indeed Steve.

M & K, Augusta
We have loved working with Steve, Dan and the team at Backyard Creations. Backyard designed our garden so its nestled into our property, and the clever layout and careful planting means it already feels established and part of the landscape. Steve listened carefully to what we wanted and then went on to design a garden that goes beyond anything we could have dreamt up. The team had a large space to landscape in a short period of time, but that didn’t stop them from attending to the smallest of details, and it’s the detail that matters!

A very big thank you Steve, Dan and team.

D & S Heldsinger, Margaret River
It has been a real pleasure working with Steve, Dan and the Backyard Creations team. A truly reliable and trustworthy subbie that gives you best value for your budget.
Their valuable contribution in the successful hand-over of the Margaret River Cultural Centre redevelopment (HEART) should be praised.
