Landscape Design
Our landscape design team will work with you to create a functional, elegant outdoor living space to meet all of your needs. We can transform a basic patio or yard space into a modern, one-of-a-kind area for the whole family to enjoy. Landscape design can range from simply modifying existing outdoor space to give it a brand new look, or it can mean completely overhauling the space so it’s more aesthetically pleasing and useful to your family.
Garden Design
Our garden design services can completely transform your garden space to create a friendly and welcoming retreat in your own home. We work closely with you to design and create a garden that is safe, relaxing and one you can enjoy spending lots of time in, both individually and with your friends and family. We have the experience to create an elegant design that’s both functional and sustainable.
What's Included In A Landscape Design Package?
Our landscape design packages are available for both landscape and garden designs. The package itself includes a landscape plan, a planting plan, a plant schedule and 3D rendered drawings.
Common Landscape Design Elements
A remarkable landscape design comprises diverse elements to create a cohesive outdoor area. The first element to consider is hardscaping, which involves non-living features like paths, walls and patios. These can add depth, texture and definition to your landscape. Softscaping, on the other hand, is about the living aspects – trees, shrubs, flowers and grass. This element brings life and colour to your space.
Water features, such as fountains, ponds and waterfalls, create an inviting, tranquil environment, while outdoor lighting ensures your landscape shines brightly even after sunset. Finally, remember the role of ornaments and garden accessories – these can add a personal touch and aesthetic appeal to your landscape design.
Maintaining Your Landscape Design
Maintaining your landscape requires regular attention, but with a few steps, you can keep it looking its best. Start with consistent watering, particularly crucial during the hot Sunshine Coast summer. Native Australian plants usually prefer a good soak once or twice a week rather than daily light watering.
Pruning is another essential step in maintaining your landscape design. This helps control the size of your plants, removes dead or diseased parts and promotes healthier growth. In addition, it’s important to keep your hardscape elements in top shape. Regularly check paths and patios for any damages and repair them promptly to prevent further issues.
Don’t forget about your lawn; keeping it mowed regularly and fertilising when necessary, will maintain its lush, green appearance. Ensure your water features are clean and functioning correctly and your outdoor lighting is in working order.

Our Landscape Design Process
Obligation Free Consultation
Our obligation free consultation allows you to sit down and have a friendly conversation with one of our expert designers to discuss your hopes for your outdoor living space. During this consultation, our designers will carry out a quick assessment of the space to consider which elements would simply need modifying or require excavation.
Planning And Designing
Our designers will begin to create a plan based on your vision and determine how best to bring it to life. You will be involved throughout the planning process, ensuring that the space is a reflection of your needs and vision for the space.
Excavation And Transformation
Once the design has been agreed on, our team will begin to transform the outdoor space, beginning with excavation work if required or simply making modern adjustments to the existing space. We’ll begin the preparation and turf installation as soon as you choose the best turf for your landscape and book your turf delivery with Sunshine Coast Turf. In no time, your garden will be completely transformed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much are landscape and garden design services?
The cost of our services varies depending on the size of your garden/outdoor space and the extent of the transformative work required to achieve your vision.
When is the best time of year to landscape my garden?
The autumn season is probably the best time to landscape your garden in Australia as the heat isn’t too harsh and the weather makes the garden much more manageable throughout the landscaping process.
What do you mean by sustainable landscaping?
Sustainable landscaping is landscaping that has a minimal impact on the surrounding environment. We work hard to keep our landscaping services sustainable by limiting our resources and using renewable materials.
How often should I water my lawn on the Sunshine Coast?
Watering frequency largely depends on the weather and type of turf used. However, typically a lawn needs watering once or twice a week. During the hot, dry periods that we often experience on the Sunshine Coast, your lawn may need more frequent watering. The key is to water deeply but infrequently to encourage the growth of deep roots. Early morning is the best time to water your lawn to minimise evaporation.
What native plants are recommended for landscape design on the Sunshine Coast?
The Sunshine Coast climate is suitable for a variety of native plants. The Macarthur Palm, with its stunning clusters of red fruits, is an excellent choice for adding a tropical touch. The Kangaroo Paw, known for its unique flower shape and vibrant colours, is another great choice, especially for attracting native birds. The Bottle Brush, with its distinctive cylindrical, bright red flowers, is also ideal for the Sunshine Coast, being both drought-tolerant and attracting wildlife. These native plants not only add a distinct Aussie charm to your landscape but are also more sustainable as they require less water and maintenance.
How often should I prune my plants?
The frequency of pruning depends largely on the type of plants in your landscape. Some plants benefit from frequent pruning to maintain a specific shape or to promote flowering. Others, like certain native shrubs, only need occasional trimming to remove dead or diseased wood. As a general rule, most plants are best pruned in late winter or early spring when they’re dormant, but always check specific recommendations for each plant.
