Tintuppa - Our Process

When you contact us we will gather initial information about the job and we will send you an information pack containing our promotional DVD. We will then arrange a suitable time to meet you on site. At this meeting we will provide you with examples of different materials, and products as well as gathering all necessary information to complete the quoting process. There is no charge for the quote, however if you require a design/plan then there is a range of options, with some costs involved. We will present the quote to you at which stage there is an opportunity to discuss any alterations or other issues you may have.

Once you have made the decision to proceed with the work, we will book the project and advise you of the start and finish dates, schedule of payments and make any preliminary arrangements necessary (permits etc).

David will be available at all stages of your project to answer any questions you have from the beginning of the process through to the completion of the work.

The Concept

Our purpose is to create beautiful durable gardens that will thrive and grow even in the harsh coastal environment of parts of the Peninsula. A most important part of this process is the after construction care of the your new exterior space/garden. For this reason we have expanded to provide a garden management service which is unique in its approach. Unlike many garden maintenance business's our approach is not just "cut, edge and blow".

We work on a 52 week programmed schedule to ensure that your garden receives the proper care and attention at the required time. There is the added benefit for you that the monthly account will be consistent and not have large additional “one off costs” (as all work is added up and then averaged out over the 12 month period).

You will get value for your money by increasing the value of your home as well as many years pleasure living in a beautiful garden.

Design

We will tailor a design package to suit your needs and budget. From a simple small scale layout to a fully detailed and specified Computer generated drawing. We can even create a “fly through” garden visualisation for commercial projects and planning needs.

We create presentations for planning permits including vegetation reports and detailed landscape concept plans. We have a qualified expert witness on staff for representation in VCAT hearings.

Landscape Construction

The biggest investment that most of us will ever make is our home. The garden is the icing on the cake. A beautiful well constructed garden will give you many hours of pleasure and will ensure that you house will achieve its highest possible price when you come to sell. So you could say you get double value for every dollar you invest in your garden.

At Tintuppa we recognize that, as with many things in life it is often the things that you can’t see that are most important. This is particularly true with the construction of your new garden. Drainage, contouring of sub soil levels, topsoil improvements, footings for walls and paving. These and many other issues that are key elements in the durability and long term viability of you new garden.

An eye for detail in the finished product is equally important to ensure that your new garden is every thing you hoped for.

Qualified professional team members ensure that when dealing with Tintuppa you will receive the best service and product at all levels. If you want the best in garden construction then contact our expert sales team to explore the exciting possibilities for your home and garden.

Irrigation

Water is essential for the well being of your garden. However water applied in the wrong way or to excess can be as bad as, or worse than, too little water, especially where alternate water sources are used.

It is no good to just throw water around. It has to be applied in the right quantity at the right time and in the right way. Too often we see inadequate systems installed where the installer has no plant or soil knowledge.

Our irrigation manager has 30 years experience in horticulture throughout Europe and Australia, which is a great advantage in properly designing and installing irrigation system in domestic and commercial situations. His commitment to excellence ensures effective and efficient watering of your garden.

Garden Management

We offer a full range of garden maintenance services including, lawn mowing, hedge and detail plant pruning, fertilizer applications and weed control in lawn and garden areas.

We have a holistic approach to nurture your garden so it will achieve full potential and that the long term vision is achieved in the shortest period possible.

Your garden is a living organism and needs to be monitored, cared for and responded to. This protects your initial investment and grows the value of your property and the beauty of your surrounds.
