Every garden has different requirements. Some need a simple refresh, while others require a complete redesign and construction.
Our garden makeover services can include:
We combine these elements to create an outdoor space that works as a whole rather than simply replacing individual parts of an existing garden.
A successful garden makeover starts with understanding how you want to use your outdoor space.
During the planning process, we consider:
The result is a garden designed to suit both your property and your lifestyle.
Your front garden creates the first impression of your home.
A front garden makeover can improve the appearance of your property while creating a more welcoming entrance.
We can incorporate:
The design can be tailored to complement the style of your house and improve the connection between the street, entry and home.
Backyards often have the greatest potential for transformation.
We can redesign an underused backyard into a space for:
Depending on the property, your makeover may combine lawn, planting, paving, decking, retaining walls and outdoor entertaining areas.
A small garden does not have to feel limited.
With careful planning, we can make better use of compact spaces such as:
Space-efficient planting, built-in features, vertical screening, compact seating and carefully positioned pathways can make a small garden feel more functional and visually appealing.
An overgrown garden can make an otherwise attractive property feel neglected.
Our makeover process can include removing unwanted vegetation, clearing garden areas, improving soil, reshaping garden beds and introducing new plants and landscape features.
Rather than simply clearing everything, we assess the existing garden to identify plants, trees and features that may be worth retaining.
If you want to spend less time maintaining your garden, the design should consider maintenance from the beginning.
A low-maintenance garden may incorporate:
The right approach depends on your property, available sunlight, soil, drainage and how much maintenance you want to undertake.
Native plants can be incorporated into garden makeovers to create a landscape suited to local conditions while providing colour, texture and habitat.
Plant selection should take into account the particular conditions of your property, including:
We can incorporate native planting into contemporary, traditional, coastal and low-maintenance garden designs.
Many Sydney properties have sloping gardens or changes in elevation.
A garden makeover can use these levels as part of the design rather than trying to hide them.
Depending on the site, solutions can include:
Proper planning is particularly important on sloping properties to address access, water flow and soil stability.
New paving can dramatically change the usability and appearance of a garden.
We can incorporate pathways and paved areas for:
Materials and layouts can be selected to complement the existing house and landscape.
Replacing tired or damaged lawn can be an effective part of a garden makeover.
We can help you plan lawn areas based on the available space, sunlight, use and maintenance requirements.
A new lawn can provide an open area for:
Where lawn is not practical or desirable, alternative planting and hardscape solutions can also be considered.
Retaining walls can provide both practical and visual benefits.
They can help create usable garden levels, define planting areas and manage changes in elevation.
Depending on your site, retaining walls can be incorporated with:
The appropriate retaining solution depends on factors such as height, soil, drainage and site conditions.
We discuss your goals, ideas, preferred style and how you want to use the garden.
We assess the existing garden, including levels, access, soil, drainage, sunlight and existing landscaping.
We develop a practical layout for the new garden, considering planting, hard landscaping, access and outdoor living areas.
Depending on the project, preparation may include clearing, demolition, excavation, soil preparation and drainage work.
We install the planned hardscape and landscape elements, including paving, retaining walls, turf, garden structures and other features.
New plants, garden beds, mulch, lawn and finishing details complete the makeover.
We complete the project and leave you with a garden designed for your lifestyle and ongoing use.
The cost of a garden makeover depends on the size and complexity of the project.
A simple garden refresh involving new planting and garden beds will generally cost less than a complete landscape transformation involving excavation, retaining walls, paving, turf, decking and outdoor entertaining areas.
Important cost factors include:
Because every property is different, a site assessment and detailed project scope are the best way to establish an accurate cost.
