We engaged Merrick Hide to do our landscaping architecture and works for our dream home in Toorak, after much deliberation with the other big names in the industry as we believed he would best be able to not only express his own vision in the site, but also work with us and our vision. The home is a Hamptons style home of which the region has some of the most magnificent residential gardens in the world so it was incredibly important to get the outcome perfect for our site. The experience has been flawless, we have enjoyed robust debate with Merrick and his team and now have an outcome we believe is perfect. Merrick has gone above and beyond to make the experience as enjoyable as possible and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a high end landscaping design outcome.

We had complete trust in Merrick right from our first meeting. He exuded confidence, demonstrated vision and ultimately, transformed our overgrown bush slope at our country property, into a large useable area for outside entertainment, complementary to the environment and having regard to the climate of hot and dry summers (and lack of town water) and frost in winters. The final result has enhanced our sand brick house and created a much improved outlook including screening plants where appropriate. We are absolutely delighted with outcome.
