Landscape Design Sydney

A landscape designer assesses your site — soil type, sun aspect, slope, drainage, and council constraints — then develops a design that balances aesthetic goals with practical requirements. This includes plant selection for your specific Sydney suburb's climate, layout of hard surfaces (paving, retaining walls, decking), irrigation planning, and lighting design. We take you from initial brief through concept, detailed design, and full construction.

A basic consultation and concept sketch for a standard Sydney backyard starts. A full design package with site survey, detailed plans, plant schedule, and 3D renders for a mid-size project is quoted after a free site measure. Many clients roll the design fee into their construction contract. We offer a free initial site consultation before any design fees apply.

Sydney's climate varies significantly by suburb. Coastal areas suit salt-tolerant plants like lomandras, westringias, and banksias. Western Sydney's hot dry summers call for drought-tolerant plants like kangaroo paw, grevilleas, and native grasses. The Hills District's cooler winters allow a broader range including ornamental trees and cool-season perennials. We select plants specific to your suburb's microclimate, not generic Australian natives.

Yes. We are a design-and-build firm, meaning we handle the landscape design process and then execute the full construction — paving, retaining walls, turf, planting, irrigation, and fencing — under one contract. This eliminates the gap between what a designer draws and what a builder can actually build, and removes handover delays and cost blowouts.

Absolutely. Sloped blocks are very common across the Hills District, Northern Beaches, and North Shore. We specialise in designing terraced gardens with retaining walls, stepped pathways, and level entertaining areas carved from sloped sites. Proper drainage design is critical on sloped blocks — we include this in every design for sloped Sydney properties.
