  It has been such a great experience working with Kate and the team from Living Senses Group as an electrical sub contractor on their projects. Kate and the team produce some incredible designs and really bring a unique touch of their own to landscape gardening. We're lucky enough to work with Living Senses Group to execute their garden lighting and electrical components of the projects, helping to give life to the amazing work at all hours of the day and night.

  Kate and her lovely team won us over at the first meeting.  You could sense straight away that Kate really cares about what she does.  The whole process was a pleasure, from initial planing to garden design, plant choice etc.  She makes a point of really getting to know you and what you're looking for.  On the landscaping days her whole team were amazing.  They encouraged the kids to help out and created something so beautiful that's it's a joy to open the curtains in the morning.  We look forward to working with Kate and the team again for part 2 of our garden.

  Kate and her team were great to deal with - very approachable and professional. We had a less than satisfactory experience with another company and wish we had met Kate at the beginning. Her work is exceptional and we are now thrilled with our garden. Thank you, Kate and team 🙏

  I rarely write reviews, so I wanted this one to really mean something, which is why it’s taken me so long to submit it (sorry Kate!). I still find it difficult to put into words, how happy/relieved we are to have found Living Senses and Kate, both from a professional standpoint and a personal one.
For years we searched for someone to help with our large & problematic landscaping needs, and the minute Kate walked through the front door, I knew we’d finally found “the one”.
It was such a relief to talk to a professional with extensive horticultural knowledge and a beautiful, skilled eye for design which, I have discovered over the years, is surprisingly lacking in the industry. To have someone actually listen to what we were wanting and hoping for, and fully commit to achieving those goals with us, was a breath of fresh air. On a personal level, Kate is an absolute delight.
She is friendly, empathetic and honest, qualities also reflected by those she employs.
Our block presented a number of challenges to Kate’s team, but they did an incredible job and were an absolute pleasure to have around, our Newfie pup certainly didn’t mind the extra love & attention!
Kate and the whole crew, really went above and beyond all expectations, not only would I not hesitate to recommend them, I would thoroughly encourage anyone to give Living Senses a call. They not only work to the highest professional standards, they are a genuinely, lovely group of people.
To Kate, Brendan, Amelia, Dylan, Warwick, “Alan the Brickie” and the rest of the crew, we can’t thank you enough and look forward to working with you all again on future projects… and please tell Fabian, Tilly say’s “Hi!”

  I attended a workshop on ecotherapy hosted by the wonderful Kate. Although apprehensive at first, I was blown away by the impact this workshop had on not just me but all attendees. It was very powerful, but at the same time super fun! The workshop connected the group on a different level through nature. Just amazing! Highly recommend!

  Passionate, knowledgeable, very creative. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. Kate is a highly skilled designer and her team can take the job through from earthworks and hard landscaping all the way through to planting and finishing.

  We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kate and her team to create a new garden. Upon the first meeting with Kate I knew she would deliver something amazing, and she went above and beyond our expectations.
Kate is friendly, thoughtful, professional and dedicated to listening to customer wishes. These qualities extend to her team who all worked so thoughtfully and professionally on site.
Together they created our new outdoor haven with minimal disruption, even while working in the midst of storm activity.
Kate’s passion for her work and consideration of the therapeutic aspect of nature means she delivers a unique and holistic landscaping experience, not just a garden.
I highly recommend Living Senses.

Where we work in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs

Although predominantly Easter Suburbs based, we love working on exciting projects regardless of location. Some areas we have completed projects in are as follows:

Contact Living Senses for garden design, landscaping, training and workshops, and commercial projects.

We endeavour to respond in a timely manner. However, some landscaping tasks are all hands on deck so if we do not repsond within 24hrs, do not worry, it is only because we have committed to an existing project and do not wish to let our clients down. We always try to respond with 24-48 hours.
