A fresh thinking landscape architecture studio based in Melbourne/Naarm. We create lush handcrafted residential gardens for lovers of green. At the heart of our practice are our clients, and the jou we can bring them creating a little slice of garden paradise.
Fran was fabulous to work within the design and project management stages. Her creative and practical ideas, vision and drive meant that we now have a magical unique garden space. She was happy to take the lead but was also responsive to our needs and ideas. Fran has an exceptional gift for her work.
Fran has definitely got the vision and knowledge of plants. Her designs are second to none and they transform the areas in an oasis of beauty. Her relaxed approach to the job is so pleasant to be around and is worth every dollar. Thanks for a brilliant job at our house Fran. You definitely have all our jobs
We engaged Fran Hale to design a completely new front and back garden for our just-renovated home in Northcote, and to project manage the construction of the garden. We absolutely loved working with Fran. She has a wonderful aesthetic, and is a very good communicator and we felt as though we were in safe hands. Fran quickly understood what we were after and that we were not hugely into every tiny detail and she then just got on with it. Fran is very responsive and reliable. She had lots of great (sometimes quirky) ideas and we are incredibly happy with the outcome.
What a pleasure it was working with Peachy Green! From concept design to tendering, and construction management, Fran was always careful and considered. The finished result is fabulous and achieved everything we wanted - not easy when the brief is a functional, modern, lush green garden that is suitable for a family with three young children. Finding a way to successfully integrate a large trampoline is no easy feat! I attribute the success of the project to Fran's ability to interpret and understand what we were after, her design aesthetic, her honest commitment to delivering on a beautiful vision and (not to be underestimated) her network of high quality and conscientious landscapers and tradespeople that shared her eye for the finer details. I've also been impressed with the follow-up support and complimentary garden checks - just another sign of how Peachy Green approach their work; holistically.
I highly recommend Fran. She looked after our landscaping project end to end. We found the consultant process to be excellent. We had specific ideas about the style of the gardens and had landscaping. Fran synthesised these into a scheme that went well beyond our expectations and gave us something we were extremely happy with. She did an excellent job of helping us secure the right landscaper to complete the work and was involved the whole way through. Very responsive and pleasure to deal with.
Frances Hale and Peachy Green were an excellent fit for our project. They displayed excellent professionalism along with a refreshing and project suitable aesthetic that we did not find elsewhere. Peachy Green's concept and delivery is a key feature of our finished project and one that is constantly garnering compliments for its attention to detail and creativity. Delivering concepts and then design documentation for two outdoor areas including the design of an intricate patterned tiled benching area. Our contractors were able to deliver the concepts as per the design intent - In my opinion, a testament to the great effort Frances put into the design documentation. Highly recommend working with Fran - her landscape related aspects will be architectural features, in their own right.
We renovated our home 3 years ago and our unused and uninspiring back garden became part of our home. Fran's vision created both a functional and very beautiful space we use year-round, that gives us lovely serene views of the outdoors from our house always - day and night! Frances was terrific to work with, highly receptive and responsive, and we continue to enjoy working with her as our garden evolves!
We have worked with Peachy Green on several landscape projects. Their design ethos and attention to detail is always inspiring. They have unsurpassed horticultural knowledge and a genuine love for their craft. It's always a pleasure to work with such dedicated professionals. Peachy Green has helped our business grow and has always pushed us to achieve our goals. We wouldn't be where we are without them.
