" We were confused after we built our home, we wanted a stress free garden, that wouldn’t break the budget.  We originally picked plants that we liked, and thanks to the expertise of Chantal, she guided us to plants that were low maintenance and water friendly.

With three children and no green thumbs, Chantal showed us plants that would suit our home, that would be easy to look after and not break the budget. It was a easy process once we saw our garden on Chantal’s computer, and our plants are everything she promised and more, cause their thriving all on their own just like she said they would.

The whole experience was inexpensive, hassle free and an informative way of making our home complete.
So big thanks to Chantal. "

" Our journey began when we decided to renovate our home and garden.  Our vision was to create a garden that was an extension of our home – an outside room!

 We initially commenced landscaping as a do-it-yourself project.   However, very quickly realised that we would achieve a much faster and successful result by seeking landscaping advice.

 Our landscaping process started with a professional consultation with Chantal.  Chantal was both creative and practical, incorporating the inside, alfresco and outside areas into her design.

Chantal demonstrated significant experience working with different soils, plants and sunlight areas.  Her advice worked brilliantly and saved us money!

As a result we are thrilled with our stylish garden and outdoor entertainment area, which is equipped to handle the changing climate. 

Thanks Chantal, your experience and passion for gardening is refreshing.  Great Job! "

" I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation and testimonial for Chantal Tenace.  Over the last eight years Truffo Building Corporation and Chantal have established the type of business relationship that we value.  We value professional competency, a willingness to understand and embrace our corporate values, a passion for excellence and the ability to satisfy our needs within our budgetary limitations.  

The depth of knowledge and experience that Chantal brings to our projects is a valuable asset and an invaluable resource.  She integrates her landscape designs seamlessly with the building design and always complements our design approach and philosophy for each project.

I consider it a privilege to recommend Chantal to anyone whom might need her skills and services in the future. "

"I recently moved into an inner city apartment with a balcony measuring almost 8 square meters. Having grown up in a family home that was surrounded by garden, I desired an outdoor living area with a garden that would bring my balcony to life.

Chantal designed an outdoor living area that is green, lush and inviting with plants that are low maintenance to match my busy lifestyle. The garden is great, I love it because it is so relaxing and I have received so many compliments about how it looks and the ambience it has created. I now use it for entertaining and it’s so tranquil that I often choose to work outside rather than in my home office.

I would highly recommend Chantal to anyone wanting a relaxing outdoor setting in metropolitan Melbourne where you normally see nothing but concrete."

" Chantal is lovely person to deal with. She is a easy going person and the children are so inspired by her beautiful personality.  She offers a range of activities for the children which keeps them occupied.  I highly recommend her & will use her services again.  Thank you. "
