Dabbling in design: Willow Landscapes

Some of you may know Carl Gildea of Willow Landscapes for his wealth of knowledge in landscaping and construction. But in order for his business to grow, so did his skills and knowledge. Enter the Diploma in Landscape Design. Finishing at Christmas time, it gave Carl a whole new appreciation for the art of landscaping.

On top of now being able to provide concept plans for back gardens, Carl explains he has “learnt so much about how garden shapes and lines make it more of a pleasing place to be”.

“We specialise in residential spaces; we look at it from above and fit everything they want in their garden.”

Every space will have a different end goal; every customer and project is unique – from tropical to native looks and anywhere in between.

“Gardens are designed to be your own personal holiday – somewhere to relax, entertain and play.”

Paving, decking, raised planters, water features and entertainment areas are just a few of the amazing ways Willow Landscapes can give your outdoor area that much needed facelift.

Aside from being a master at what he does, Carl is also very easy to deal with.

“I’m the designer, the project manager and onsite 60 percent of the time. So, you’re dealing with one person from start to finish.”
