Naturesque

Fran was a dream to work with. We asked for something outside her usual suite of services, and she flexed with us and delivered in spades over such a short space of time. She solved a design problem we never could have solved on our own and it just made sense for the space. The design has started to come into its own with the plants maturing and now we love coming home to the best garden in the street. It makes me smile every single day. Such a worthwhile investment. Fran was attentive, responded to the brief with the right amount of leadership and advice, punctual and professional.

Fran listened closely to our vision as well as offering her own insights and then applied her extensive knowledge, skill sets and creativity to create an ideal design and aesthetic. Fran is a joy to work with and we highly recommend utilising her services. She has a great network of suppliers and knowledge of materials. Please note that we are based 400 kilometres from where Fran is located. Despite the potential logistical issues, the process was seamless and straightforward with Fran even travelling for a site visit without hesitation.

Fran is a creative and highly skilled professional who has designed the West Australian native front garden of our dreams. From the elegant deck and pergola from which to observe the garden and birds, to the pathways and ultimately, her inspired plant selection, we could not be happier. We had hoped to create a front garden that may encourage others to choose WA native plants. Not only for their suitability to our climate but also for their beauty. The garden is not even a year old and already we are receiving compliments from friends, family, neighbours and those passing by. The display of Spring flowers was stunning but due the quality of her design, the garden continues to surprise and delight (even in this long hot summer). Fran’s design has exceeded our expectations. Fran is also a great pleasure to work with. She is a good listener and responds quickly to queries and emails. She has a knack for making every step of the process enjoyable. I would highly recommend Fran to anyone.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Fran recently at a Mt Hawthorn project where our company Villa Plunge Pools was lucky enough to be involved in a beautiful back yard transformation, plunge pool included! Throughout the project Fran was always really quick to respond regarding any queries, and a pleasure to collaborate with when it came to a few tricky areas where some creative problem solving was required. Looking forward to the next project Fran!

It was a great experience having Fran as our landscape designer. She has been extremely professional, detailed and very enthusiastic in taking on our job and the requirements. She was not afraid to voice her design convictions while at the same time being flexible to our vision of the garden. The whole process with her was an enjoyable one. She was friendly, clear and whenever we had questions, she responded promptly. Her designs for our front and back yard are elegant. She gave much thought on how best to use the available space and accommodated the plant recommendations to our needs. She was clear on explaining and showing her vision and design to us, and it gave us a clear picture of how the completed project will look like. We look forward to seeing her design come into fruition. We would highly recommend Fran to everyone.

Fran delivered exactly what I was looking for, a low maintenance garden and modern entertaining area. Included in the design was the open pergola combined with the split level exposed aggregate, to create an extra entertaining space for a future spa, without blocking the natural light. This was complemented with a large boundary raised garden bed full of low maintenance plants, feature lights, reticulation and a large stone bench seat. Fran was a pleasure to work with on the project and took all the stress out of the planning for me.

Fran is friendly and enthusiastic about creating desirable and functional outdoor spaces. She looked at my housing plans and interior to ensure the design theme and colour palate followed through. Currently being completed.

I cannot recommend Naturesque more highly. Fran listened to our ideas and vision for the landscaping of our new home and created something that was not only visually impressive but also practical for our young family. We cant wait to see it become a reality later this year!

When our new house was being completed 1 year ago, I had a bit of debate about the landscape with my husband. One year down the track we could not have been happier with our decision. We found Fran through Houzz. She has always been very professional but also approachable. In our first meeting on site, she was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and honest about estimation of total cost. From our initial meeting and she had a thorough understanding of our needs and her design reflected what I have imagined and more. She has been accommodating with a few small changes we made for the both landscape layouts, plant selections as well as a few cost saving strategies. We had the landscape done about 6 months ago. It turned out even better than the plan. Though the garden is still fairly young, it's looking beautiful and most importantly my two young kids love to play in the garden.

My front 'garden' was only a small area and I asked Fran to turn it into a lush tropical courtyard - almost an impossible task perhaps but Fran was eager to undertake the job and succeeded admirably. Even though it's still only a new garden, it is so nice to now look out my front door and see greenery instead of the side of someone else's house!

Fran has creatively resolved our very challenging brief to incorporate an above ground concrete pool with deck and landscaping into our compact backyard. Working with Fran on this project was an absolute pleasure as she is highly personable, professional, detailed and passionate about landscape design. Fran negotiated with our pool provider and local council to create a design that met many onerous regulations but, most importantly, gives us an urban backyard oasis beyond our highest expectations. This was a unique project and Fran has gone above and beyond to deliver a fantastic result. We can't wait to see it come to fruition in time for summer. Andrea & Matt

I had been recommended Fran after deciding that we needed to do a large redesign of our backyard and outdoor living area. What a find!!! Fran listened to our brief and taking Into consideration our lifestyle needs was able to design a stunning low maintenance area for us. Her communication is very clear and always prompt. She is extremely professional in her approach but in no way takes over the decision making, rather makes very considered, informed suggestions. Her conceptual design plans are very detailed and well researched. We have loved working with Fran and I would highly recommend her.
