Garden Design

Garden Consultation

Need a garden makeover? Our site visit suggests creative ways to maximise your outdoor space. We identify and complement existing spaces that work, and overcome obstacle areas.

Our garden design consult can cover:

• styles and themes
• accent night lighting and outdoor furniture options
• privacy trees, metal garden screens and architectural privacy screens
• plant, turf and tree selection and suitability (including water-wise, native and bird-attracting options)
• site measurement, ground delineation and soil topping options
• dry river beds, frog ponds, garden irrigation and watering systems
• retaining walls
• garden accents such as metal sculpture, outdoor laser cut wall art and feature planter pots
• hiding an ugly wall with wire trellis and vertical green walls
• water features, letter boxes and more

This service is throwing around garden design ideas, getting to know each other and determining budgets, which influences your Garden Design (below). Design consults start from just $250.

Garden Designs (To Suit Your Budget)

We create a bespoke Garden Design for your home based on our visual interpretation of your needs and wants. For large-scale projects, we recommend developing your garden in manageable bite-sized chunks, allowing for greater attention to detail.

We specialise in side yard landscaping ideas, driveway gate ideas, front yard landscaping ideas and heaps more. We can help by creating garden designs ranging from affordable backyard landscaping ideas to more complex garden solutions to suit every budget.

Garden designs often include:

• a Top View Rendering to scale
• a Materials and Planting Schedule
• an itemised quotation to install

You are welcome to construct our garden design yourself, or let us do the heavy lifting.

Small Garden and Courtyard Design

We understand space is at a premium. If we can create a sanctuary within a space just big enough to swing a cat, imagine what we can achieve with something bigger.

See our St Kilda Terrace Garden, the Darebin Courtyards and our Hawthorn Small Backyard, designed to maximise the flow of indoor-outdoor living.

Native Garden Design

Want a predominantly native Australian garden? Our bird-attracting, water-wise planting selections encourage local wildlife into the space and promote bee pollination.

In our Dorrington: Native Gardens project, local Banksia integrifolia trees flank the front garden, and a no-fuss Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' forms a compact front hedge.

Low-Maintenance Garden Design

Plant selection can be low maintenance, with an emphasis on texture and colour. Think a no-mow Dichondra lawn watered by an automated irrigation system, and garden lighting that switches itself on at dusk (set and forget). Convenience doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

Here's one of our most-loved contemporary, low-maintenance garden makeovers: the McKinnon Backyard.
