Simon Tolliday
Owner of Tolliday Gardens
Meet Simon
A garden is a long-term relationship. We take it seriously.
Simon started Tolliday Gardens with a simple idea: do excellent work, communicate clearly, and treat every garden like it’s your own. A decade on, that’s still what guides every quote, every job and every follow-up — from a weekly lawn just down the road to full garden builds across the Mornington Peninsula.
Proper craftsmanship
The kind of finish you'd want in your own backyard — clean lines, healthy plants, and nothing half-done.
Honest advice
We'll tell you what will and won't work. No upsells, no mystery quotes, no surprises at the end.
Reliable & on time
We turn up when we say we will, clean up after ourselves, and keep you in the loop along the way.
Local knowledge
We know bayside soils, coastal winds and inner-east microclimates. Your garden gets what it actually needs.
