eScape Landscape Architecture

The E-scape team were recommended to us by a friend. From the beginning to now we can honestly say we haven’t worked with a more professional or caring group of people from the top down. They really care about your home and turning your vision into reality. Their communication and pride in their craft is outstanding. We can’t recommend them enough.

Would definitely recommend eScape landscape architecture. We used them as our friends had their landscaping done by eScape 3 years ago and their backyard looks amazing. From the very beginning dealing with eScape was an incredible experience: they listen to what you want and they can do anything - that’s why their every design is very different. And the results of their work always exceeded our expectations: we had the most beautiful sitting area built for us, they designed designated areas for cubby house, play areas and the shed. Their recommendations of planting were always the best. And they did amazing job with every small detail of our backyard: plants, lighting, paths, stepping stones, while as making it all practical and low maintenance. We have a very big backyard and a decent size front yard on a 1,000m block. And we were very impressed with their work: always professional, efficient and great at planning and executing each stage of the project. They completed all the work within a couple of months, were always accommodative with any changes we requested. The plants are growing very fast and our backyard requires very little maintenance as bore and reticulation they set up are working amazingly everywhere. Everyone is fascinated by our backyard and the work that Nic, Cam, Dan and Cam did. They were not cheap (though we never compared their costs with other landscapers) but they were very transparent and we had no surprises with the costs: they provided upfront detailed 20 pages quote and actual costs were in line with the quote. They also designed a beautiful granny flat and received council approvals for it as it was a very complex process. We dealt with a lot of builders, contractors and trades in the last 3 years while we were building our house. And none of them was as excellent as eScape team.

I had nothing but peace of mind by leaving eScape constructing and managing a renovation project that otherwise would have been very challenging for me to stay on top of every detail. The project included the construction of a swimming pool, whole landscaping, outdoor kitchen and corresponding design advice. From day 1 it was very professional the way the designated site manager dealt with the different contractors involved in the construction (which were all first class by the way). The consultation, weekly update, coming week brief and handover was seamless. Transparency, no hidden costs, every item very well detailed but easy to understand. For all the reasons above, it is of course not the cheapest, but quality value for money, it was definitely the best decision to go with eScape. I absolutely recommend working with this company if you want quality work, honesty, trustworthiness and a project timely delivered. Well done eScape, love your work.

We live in Iluka close to the ocean, and it can get pretty windy, stormy even in the winter. Initially we looked at getting a new covered patio in conjunction with a garden makeover, but in view of the exposure to the elements we decided on a more substantial brick built sunroom extension to our home. This can be opened or shut up depending on weather but remains bright and airy. Our landscape designer recommended e-Scape Landscape & Design to execute the work. Just before Christmas 2018, we had an initial meeting with Nic Crowe to discuss our objectives and with his input agreed some amendments to our plan. He also recommended a boutique builder to construct our sunroom. The landscape work scope included the removal of our existing front and back yards back to a blank canvas of sandpit, retaining our existing swimming pool. Clearing began in January 2019 and by the beginning of February site works were well under way and the concretor was at work. Larger trees were positioned and brickies were laying bricks for our garden planter, new letter box and entry statements. We had a six week hiatus whilst we were on holiday but on our return in late May the builder started on our sunroom. Weather and a nationwide plaster shortage caused some delays, however, the build was completed by the end of October and has exceeded our expectations. Before leaving on another holiday at the end of October our new lawn was laid before work shut down until our return in mid December. Work resumed briefly after our return and then again in January to project completion at the end of the month. We can honestly say that Nic and his team have been excellent and a pleasure to have around throughout the last year! Special thanks must go to Dan for managing the project, what an eye for detail! Whenever an unexpected issue arose it was handled with aplomb, and we were consulted and kept in the loop. Nic is a wealth of knowledge and so approachable; we were never uncomfortable asking questions or seeking guidance from him and our visits to the tree farms and nursery were a fantastic opportunity to select our trees. The whole team, especially Justin and Anthony, worked so hard throughout the year to create our new garden The end result is a fabulous new low maintenance front and rear garden with some architectural elements, discrete lighting and enough (non-invasive) lawn for our grandchildren to play on. The pool area is fantastic and has never been so popular. We would definitely recommend e-Scape if you are considering a garden makeover.

Despite one of the wettest winters in Perth and real pressure on all the contractors due to the building boom, E-scape transformed our garden from a 70s jungle to a tropical paradise. Not only was the result spectacular, but the team kept us in updated at every step. Emails and calls were returned promptly and the aftercare was faultless.
