Helen Young Horticulturist, North Willoughby, NSW

Helen Young Horticulturist is based in Willoughby on Sydney’s leafy North Shore, and has been established since 1993. Our aim is to create beautiful and functional gardens that suit the needs of our clients. The business is a member of the Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) and Helen won the Plantscape Design Award in the 2008 AILDM Landscape Design Awards. We pride ourselves on the quality of service and work that we provide. Nearly all of our work comes from word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat business. We return calls, turn up on time and keep our promises. References are available on request. We are happy to do small jobs as well as large projects. Our experience in balconies, terraces, courtyards and semis is based on our belief that the smaller the space, the better it has to look. We are also experienced in landscaping around new and renovated houses, and in preparing properties for sale.
