North Bondi

Covid-19 has forced many of us to work from home, turning our backyards into private sanctuaries. Our appreciation for outdoor living spaces has grown tenfold. With European holidays on hold, the 2020 Sydney landscaping trend embraced the Mediterranean courtyard retreat.

This trend perfectly suited our client on Griffith Ave, North Bondi. They desired a minimal space to relax, feel calm, unwind, and entertain. The vibrant Mediterranean colours and minimal design elements made them feel like they were on holiday right in their own backyard.

We maximized every square meter of this North Bondi semi with a clever and concise landscape design. Dusty peach pink crazy pavers set the tone, creating a warm and inviting foundation. A custom barbecue benchtop and minimal succulent planting added functionality and style. The long day bed-style white brick bench seat and timber decking provided the perfect spots to lounge and entertain.

The result is a Mediterranean retreat that ticks all the boxes for our client. It’s a space where they can relax, entertain, and escape the every day, all while staying at home.

We hired Antony and Bondi Landscapes to completely redesign our backyard. They were fantastic from the initial meeting through to the final stages of clean up and everything in between. Highly professional and great communicators. Will use them again.

Thank you to Bondi Landscapes for transforming our plain garden to an entertaining area! The difference of before and after are visible. It’s much brighter, functional and appealing now! Bondi Landscapes were so punctual, tidy and didn’t disappoint. We were very happy with Antony, the team and the result.

- Nicole Lowrey

Our garden Bondi Landscape created is transformational. We love it. Great team. Ant is fantastic and highly recommend.

- James Verco

Bondi Landacapes recently transformed my tired terrace garden into a tiny, picture-perfect idyll in 3 weeks flat. Was a major budget stretch for me but I am so happy I took the plunge. From the beautiful paving to the new fencing, a replacement gate, lighting, irrigation, and planting (and my first ever garden shed- custom-made by Max as not on the plans 🙏🏼), it’s all magic. THANKS GUYS.

- Annie de Merindol

We can highly recommend Antony and his team. Antony had a blank canvas to work with and did not disappoint at all. From the design of our backyard to the finished product. Everything went smooth and was very professional. And the icing fn the cake, just finished before Christmas. Thank you.

- Luca R

Ants and his team were very professional. The work is beautiful, fast and cost effective. Highly recommend this business!

- Barbie Hazell

This small family run business is everything I hoped it would be. Lead by a passionate professional with heart for what he does. We had bamboo planted along our neighbours boundary to give us privacy and years later the bamboo is thriving, thick and healthy, but best of all giving us the privacy we wanted. Antony the founder and owner knows his stuff and really cares about his craft. He has an incredible eye and is realistic about budget and listens to what you need and want. He continues to help us with our evolving garden and sourced us an amazing cactus and pot that has pride of place in our local business in Bondi. Nothing is too much, too big or too hard to solve for this incredibly run small family business. Do yourself a favour and look no further than Ant, Lucy and their team.

- Debbie Tan

Antony, Matt and the guys were absolute professionals and great to deal with. They completely transformed our outdoor space to an entertaining heaven for us. We are so happy with the results, highly recommend Bondi Landscapes. Best part was they do one job at a time, so they smashed it out over a few weeks and no long delays. Thank you guys!

- Kate Blake

We had the pleasure of working with Antony and team when Bondi Landscapes delivered a complete design and install service for our rear garden. The ideas for the space were/are excellent and the delivery and quality of work was fabulous. We would absolutely recommend them for a garden design and install job. On time, on brief and just generally on!

- Rebecca Hambour

Bondi Landscapes completely transformed our front and backyard in Bondi. From our initial meeting, Antony understood what we were trying to achieve and created a beautiful design that met all of our needs with additional touches to make the most of the space. The construction team, led by Matt, were extremely efficient as well as pleasant, friendly people to have around (a number of our neighbours commented on how accommodating and professional they were). All materials were high quality and the team were clearly experts. There was great communication throughout the construction, with Antony personally paying attention to every detail as well as responding to any ongoing questions post completion. I highly recommend Bondi Landscapes.

Cannot express how amazing our backyard is now thanks to Bondi Landscapes. Antony and the team totally transformed our backyard. Matt and Jacob were so caring. They are great guys and had exceptional attention to detail.

- Kerri Davison

We have used Bondi Landscapes for 3 separate jobs now. We keep getting them back because they do a fantastic job. We are so happy with the way our garden looks!

- David Walsh

Cannot recommend Bondi landscapes more highly! The most professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, passionate, respectful & skilled team - exceeded all expectations & have turned our home into something truly special. My only regret is not bringing them on earlier in the process of our build. Would use them again in a heartbeat - don’t bother looking elsewhere. They are exceptional - thank you Antony & your wonderful team!!

- Lexi

Antony and his team did a wonderful job on completely re-designing, landscaping and planting the entire outside area of our plot in North Bondi. Everything we redone, the front and back garden and side access passage. Antony & the team are creative, diligent and friendly in equal measure. When getting quotes, no one else we spoke to offered the same level of creativity and ingenuity that Bondi Landscapes did. Several problems needed solving; The design and build of a bespoke covered area for bikes, hard and soft landscaping that would work in a small area, and a bespoke front garden with totally unique design. It all happened smoothly and efficiently. Complete strangers passing our house will now stop and comment on how lovely it looks. We went slightly over the budget we have, but I'm now very glad we did. Antony's team were so friendly I actually miss having them around. Couldn't recommend more. Simon

I cannot speak more highly of Antony and his team, and the beautiful yard he designed and landscaped for us. Not only was it executed perfectly, with the highest attention to detail, but it was beautifully designed, with every inch of the yard carefully considered and planned. Being a relatively small space, every inch matters and is visible - and both the hard and soft scapes blend perfectly and create the haven we were wanting. We also asked Antony to build a large planter box for our front porch and we had a fairly clear image of what we wanted. Antony deciphered from our layman's description what we envisaged, and executed beyond what we had imagined. We are thrilled with the finish and have passers by comment on how amazing our front porch now looks. What we believe sets Antony and his team apart are their upmost professionalism and creative energy. Having just finished a renovation with a builder, we'd dealt with our fair share of tradies who treated our home like any other job and were happy to execute at a passable level. However, the respect and reverence Antony and his team had for our small yard (as well as our neighbours') was beyond measure. He was on site regularly, ensuring every small detail was addressed, and he was 10 steps ahead of any potential issue or roadblock. I recall watching him checking over every single panel of the fence his team constructed for us, to ensure it was perfectly seamless, which it was. He was also friendly and transparent with our neighbours, and assisted us be across any discussions he'd had with them. We will happily continue to use Antony's services in this home, and any future homes we purchase. Shout out to Matt for his next level craftsmanship and for being a top bloke!

- Kimberley Dickinson

There's no doubt the boys from Bondi do a great job. From our first meeting, we knew we were in the hands of fellow travellers. Bondi Landscapes turned our messy jungle into a unique back garden worthy of the cover of a magazine.

- Fiona Friend

Had a great experience with Antony and his team. A quick turn around from design to completion and we are thrilled with the results. Highly recommend Bondi Landscapes

- Anna Meyerowitz

Antony and his team were fantastic to work with and designed a beautiful, functional front courtyard area for our home. They are a highly professional team with great ideas and attention to detail. We are constantly getting favourable comments from friends and neighbours walking by.

- Natalie O’Donnell

Bondi Landscapes provided us with an amazing garden. Their personable service, efficiency, vision and delivery were fantastic and our garden went from an underused space to something that brings us joy every day! They were willing to work within our budget and provided us with a simply amazing return on our investment. Recommend them without hesitation.

- Justine Nolan

Exotic Nurseries has had the pleasure of supplying plants to Bondi Landscapes for nearly 10 years. Antony and his team are a pleasure to deal with and are very specific when it comes to the quality of plants they require for their customers. We have no hesitation in recommending Bondi Landscapes to any prospective client.

- Paul Takchi

Antony Aris and his crew from Bondi Landscapes are amazing! I never imagined that our front court yard could look so good. And the relatively small amount they did in the backyard has completely transformed it. They were on time and on budget. Antony was here every day either working with his lovely team or just checking that everything was running smoothly. He was responsive to any questions or concerns we had or changes we wanted. He even kept the neighbours happy (notwithstanding the use of jack-hammers). Bondi Landscapes did over and above what was required of them. They were charming in the process and even cleaned up before they left each day. I could not recommend Antony Aris and Bondi Landscapes more highly.

- Kate Barrett

Bondi Landscape are absolutely fantastic turned our garden into the most amazing living area. Attention to detail and level of service is second to none from initial design concept to construction. Everything that was promised was delivered and more! Highly recommend
