Frequently Asked Questions About Dream Making Landscapes

How quickly can Dream Making Landscapes turn around a landscaping project in Bayside?

Simon and his crew are known locally for surprisingly fast turnaround times. A recent job in Cheltenham was completed much faster than the homeowners expected, despite labour shortages affecting the industry. We've heard of residential projects being wrapped up within days when the team has availability between larger site jobs. Their efficiency doesn't compromise quality — locals tell us stone work, turf installation, and planting are all handled with care and speed, keeping disruption minimal for families.

Does Dream Making Landscapes handle complex paving work like crazy paving in South Eastern Melbourne?

Absolutely. Simon's team has real expertise in crazy paving, which is incredibly labour-intensive and demands genuine craftsmanship. They've tackled detailed paving jobs across South Eastern Melbourne, including careful paver cutting to accommodate drainage pipes and storm water systems, plus precise abutment work where new pavers meet existing concrete. Locals we've spoken to in Cheltenham report being blown away by the detail and skill shown, particularly on tricky residential jobs with multiple existing structures to work around.

Can Dream Making Landscapes help with both pool fencing and full property landscaping on the Mornington Peninsula?

Yes, they frequently handle both. Simon was originally brought in by a pool builder to install fencing at one property, but the homeowners were so impressed by the portfolio that they commissioned Dream Making Landscapes for the entire house landscaping instead. The team manages everything from initial design consultation through to completion, coordinating pool fence installation alongside full garden transformations. Their work spans residential properties across Bayside, Mornington Peninsula, and areas like Glen Iris.

How involved is Simon Thorne during the actual construction phase at Dream Making Landscapes?

Simon stays closely involved throughout construction, not just during design. He's known for walking clients through designs on-site, then remaining hands-on as conditions change. Locals tell us he communicates proactively when elements like sun exposure or land contours impact the original plan, confirming any adjustments before proceeding. His team checks in throughout the day during paving or planting work, and Simon himself troubleshoots issues like sourcing specific pavers or plants to match the brief exactly. That level of transparency keeps projects stress-free.

Does Dream Making Landscapes source hard-to-find plants and materials for projects in Cheltenham?

Yes, Simon goes to considerable lengths to track down the right plants and materials. He's sourced specific pavers when standard options wouldn't suit a job, and hunted down plants to match landscaping briefs in Cheltenham and surrounding suburbs. One garden we know of saw plants double in size within six weeks, with lush green lawn thriving thanks to careful selection. Even during industry-wide material shortages, the team has delivered quality finishes by securing hard-to-find stock and maintaining supplier relationships across the region.
