What People Are Saying
"We engaged Viv to help design and plant an extensive front and back yard in our new home. We wanted natives that were low maintenance and a textured organic feel. Viv visited to get an idea of our orientation and spaces, then presented a couple of mood boards that totally hit our brief and felt right for our garden. She sourced plants, communicating with us throughout the process, and delivered and planted the garden with minimal fuss and hard work. She thought of absolutely everything - even bringing a high pressure hose to clean down our driveway after a mulch delivery and make our home look beautiful rather than have everyone walk through muddy remnants towards the front door. I cannot recommend her highly enough - Viv is knowledgeable, considered and calm. She speaks fluent 'plant' and provided valuable advice about native species, attracting wildlife and even included some edible plant options too."
Naomi, Caulfield South
“Viv came to my rescue when I needed some horticultural knowledge, advice, and a bit of confidence with a new garden. Coming to my home and capturing a full 360 of my garden, she put together a brilliant document detailing species types, care, lots of helpful general garden/soil tips, and some beautiful photography. Her passion for gardening, and Australian natives in particular, was infectious. And she have me both a document of care for the established garden, as well as creative advice on how to grow it and make it my own.

After years of mediocre success in our garden, we reached out to Vivid Tones for help. Right from the beginning Viv was fantastic - from the initial consultation to find out what we wanted and what state our garden was in through to the amazingly detailed report with plant suggestions and advice specific to our garden. The garden is looking great now! Would not hesitate recommending Vivid Tones for anything you need in the garden.

As complete garden novices we engaged Viv in a residential consultation. We were delighted to spend a morning with Viv, in our garden where she taught us so many key things and helped us plan out the space so we could make our ideal garden a reality. The follow up report gave us everything we needed - what to plant, how to plant it, and how to look after our new garden, as well as local supplier recommendations - in a very easy to read document that continues to be an important guide. Viv is super accessible and communicated with ease through the whole process - but most importantly has an infectious passion for plants and creating beautiful outdoor spaces. We highly recommend!

We have a big backyard, an overwhelmingly large blank canvas and we had no idea where to even start. I loved seeing Vivian transform her own garden and was inspired by all of the beautiful, well thought out features. After a consult and chatting with Vivian about our needs, wishes and budget, she came up with an incredible plan to help us achieve our dream space! We are now slowly working toward that goal, it was especially helpful having the development broken down into stages so that we can save and do as we go!
