Landscaping Auburn
Looking for landscaping in Auburn? Hedge & Stone is an Auburn landscaping company with a proven track record of creating beautiful gardens through professional landscape design and construction.
Auburn has a character all its own, with beautiful period homes, established gardens and newer renovations all fitting in nicely. To us, good landscaping is not about competing with that character, but working with it. We design gardens that feel like part of the home while providing you with an outdoor space that suits your lifestyle.
Our small team of landscape designers and builders is led by Simon Tallack, who personally oversees each project from initial concept to completion. This hands-on approach means the details don’t get lost along the way.
Whether you are looking for a landscape designer for a complete overhaul or just some enhancements to your garden, we would love to hear about your project.
Residents of Auburn and surrounding suburbs can schedule a landscape design consultation.

Landscape Consulting
The best gardens begin with the right questions.
What do you want to do in the space? What should stay? What do you need to do differently? What plants will thrive in the light, soil and existing conditions?
Our landscape consulting service can assist you in making these decisions before you begin spending money on plants or construction. We can review an existing garden that has gone astray, guide you in creating a completely new outdoor area, or simply provide some direction on a few problem areas.
Our consulting covers:
- Selection of plants for local garden conditions
- Current plant health and problem areas
- Rejuvenating existing garden beds
- Garden maintenance planning
- Paving and natural stone selection
- Retaining walls
- Drainage and water management
- Lawn and turf selection
- Ornamental and productive planting
- Vegetable and edible gardens
Landscape Design Auburn & Garden Makeovers
The best gardens don’t look like they have simply been added onto a house. They feel at home there.
The first step in our landscape design process in Auburn is to look at the architecture of your home, the garden you already have and how you plan to use it. In some cases, this involves maintaining existing planting and adding new layers around it. For others, it is about designing a whole new garden for a renovation or extension.
We can create structured formal gardens, informal green spaces for families, outdoor entertaining areas, modern courtyards and everything in between.
If your garden already has good foundations, a facelift might be all it requires. New planting, reshaped garden beds, improved pathways, new paving or carefully selected features can make a huge difference without having to tear everything up and start over.
Landscape Construction
Once the design is right, it is time to construct it.
We combine the structural and softer components of the landscape to create a unified and cohesive garden space. We cover all aspects of paving, decking, pathways, retaining walls, planting and garden features.
We care about the way things are constructed just as much as the way they look. Materials need to suit the property, finishes need to be considered, and the garden needs to function well long after the work is finished.
We offer the following construction services:
- Paving and stonework
- Decking
- Retaining walls
- Pathways
- Water features
- Garden structures and features
- Planting and garden establishment
From design to completion, our team can handle the project, whether you’re looking to renovate one section of the garden or create an entirely new landscape.
Planning Permits in Auburn
Depending on the work you’re planning, your property may be affected by planning or heritage requirements.
Auburn is located within the City of Boroondara, which is known for established streetscapes, mature vegetation and heritage character. Planning controls can differ between properties, so it is worth finding out what applies before undertaking any major work.
If planning requirements are likely to affect your landscaping project, we can help you understand what needs to be considered and incorporate those requirements into the design.
Why Choose Us
Your garden is designed for your home
We don’t believe in taking the same garden design and repeating it from property to property. Your landscape should complement the architecture, the site and the people who live there.
Design and construction go hand in hand
Having one team involved from the beginning of the landscape design through to construction helps ensure the original vision is carried through and the details remain consistent throughout the project.
You deal with people who care about the result
Simon is personally involved in every project and works with a small team who take pride in the gardens we create. From the initial conversation to the final planting, we want the finished space to feel right for your home and be something you enjoy for years to come.
FAQs
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Auburn?
Some projects may require planning approval, particularly where heritage controls or other overlays apply. Auburn is within the City of Boroondara, so it’s worth checking the requirements for your specific property before major work begins.
Can you work with an existing established garden?
Yes. Many Auburn properties already have mature planting and established garden structure. We can retain what’s working, improve problem areas and introduce new planting or features without starting from scratch.
What plants are best for gardens in Auburn?
The best plant choices depend on your property’s sunlight, soil, drainage and existing conditions. We can recommend plants that suit your garden while also matching the style of your home and the amount of maintenance you want.
Do you provide both landscape design and construction in Auburn?
Yes. Hedge & Stone can manage the project from the initial landscape design through to construction, planting and finishing details.
Can you design a garden to suit a period or heritage-style home?
Absolutely. We can create a landscape that complements the architecture and character of an older home while still making the garden practical for modern living.
