We had our garden totally redesigned and landscaped in June 2016 and are extremely pleased with the result. Right from the start with the design and through to the final planting I cannot praise Batello enough. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team were polite and professional throughout. A good job!

I had my garden landscaped by Batello in September 2015. Throughout the whole process they were professional and friendly. I had a clear idea of the garden design which was modified as the garden evolved. Attention was given to the finish which I am really pleased with. I have yet to see the fruits of the planting so it is difficult to comment on that, suffice to say my rather eclectic choice of 'easy care, colourful, year round interest' was given considerable thought. I would thoroughly recommend Batello and am VERY pleased with my garden - it really does transform a home when outside is such an inviting space. (pictures will follow once the weather improves!)

Paul did a great job taking our original thoughts and transforming it into a design we loved. Kevin and the team worked immensely hard over 4 weeks to transform our garden into our dream garden. Can't wait for the planting in spring and the football games and bbqs in the summer.
