David Ting The Garden Guide — Garden Design in Pymble, NSW

We have a mango tree which was becoming too large for our small backyard. David cut it back sufficiently so that it is ready for new growth in spring. He selected branches carefully so that it still has a pleasant overall appearance. David did an excellent job. He was prompt, tidy and efficient.

Here's a reality not well-enough understood about backyard ponds: They are about so much more than water, filtration and fish. What we are attempting here is to emulate Nature in balance: A huge ask, neither simple nor easy and fraught with all manner of tricks, traps and complexities. Enter David Ting... a nicer, more reliable bloke you're unlikely to find. But more to the point, what he was able to bring to our quest was a multi-disciplinary skill-set grounded in a lifelong passion for horticulture and landscape engineering. Front and foremost, though, David Ting is an artist with the identical artisan's need for the freedom and intellectual space to create his vision. So we asked him to build us a new home for our maturing koi family... a challenge predicated on a finite budget and low-maintenance objectives. In short: We asked for a pond... he delivered us a water-garden paradise that's become a focal point and an absolute joy in our daily lives. Thank you David ... five out of five Google stars for you... and a tomato and cheese toastie any time you feel like dropping by 🤣🤣 - John & Lyn Collis, Northern Beaches, Sydney, Australia

David answered my request to assist in updating an old fountain, restoring it completely to its former glory.He then fixed a major leak in our irrigation system , irrigated a new garden and totally resurrected a 500 litre pond. He was a pleasure to have around, hardworking and very skilled in every aspect of his speciality. I recommend him to anyone wanting a great water feature

David was recommended to us by Dural Irrigation and we were so fortunate that he agreed to visit us the same day to help us with our ponds. He gave us very valuable advise and installed a pump, a filter and cleaned the ponds and they look absolutely beautiful now. He made several follow up calls to make sure that the system is working and we are extremely happy with his services. David is a very honest person and we don't hesitate to recommend him to any one.
