Why book us

Horticulturists who can actually design.

Our team has 45+ years of horticulture between them — across parks and gardens, nurseries, strata, childcare and schools. Plant choices that match the site, with three years of growth thought through.

🌿

Plant-first design

We design around the plants that will thrive in your aspect, soil and water — not the catalogue look.

📐

3-year thinking

What's planted today will be 3× the size in 3 years. We design for the mature scheme, not opening day.

Screening solutions

Neighbour fence, pool privacy, road noise — we know which species actually screen vs which one just looks like they will.

Childcare-aware design

Sensory gardens, native bee patches, edible programs — all designed within the constraints of children's outdoor spaces.

Low-maintenance schemes

Where requested — we design schemes that look great with minimal ongoing intervention.

🚛

Full install crew

Design + install + ongoing maintenance — one team across the lifecycle, not a hand-off between contractors.

How it works

From "I don't know where to start" to a garden you live in.

Onsite consult

We walk the site, listen to what you want, ID the aspect/soil/water situation, and discuss options.

Plan & plant list

You get a written plan with plant list, mulch spec, edging spec and timeline. Itemised quote.

Tidy install

Bed prep, soil amendment, planting, mulching, watering-in, clean-up. Walk-through with you at handover.

Establishment care

First 6–12 months matter most. We can build in establishment maintenance — extra water, weed monitoring, replacement guarantee.

Common questions

Soft landscaping FAQs.

What's the difference between soft and hard landscaping?

Hard = structures (pavers, decks, retaining walls, fencing). Soft = the living, growing parts (plants, lawn, beds, mulch). We focus on soft. For hard work we'll coordinate with a trusted hard-landscaper we work with regularly.

How long does a soft-landscaping project usually take?

Garden bed refresh: 1–3 days. New garden bed install: 2–5 days. Full outdoor space redesign: 1–3 weeks depending on scope.

Do you guarantee the plants?

Yes — for the first 6 months on planted material, subject to the watering being maintained. We'll discuss the exact warranty terms in the quote.

Can you design for low maintenance?

Definitely — and we recommend it for most clients. Low-maintenance ≠ no maintenance, but the right plant choices reduce the ongoing work dramatically.

Can you work with my architect / designer's plans?

Yes. If you've got an existing landscape plan, we can install and maintain to it. If something on the plan is wrong horticulturally, we'll flag it before planting.
