FAQs
Do you offer landscape design and construction in Balwyn North?
Yes — we offer both landscape design and construction services in Balwyn North and surrounding areas. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading an existing garden, we can handle everything from initial concept to completion.
How much does landscaping cost in Balwyn North?
Every landscaping project is different, so the cost really depends on the size of your space and the level of detail involved. Some clients want a complete transformation, while others are after a few key upgrades. After an initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on your vision, priorities, and the scope of work.
Can you help with council permits or heritage overlays in Balwyn North?
Yes — Balwyn North has a number of overlays that affect landscape work. We’re familiar with the local council regulations and can help manage the permit process if your project requires approval.
What types of gardens do you specialise in?
We design a wide range of gardens, from low-maintenance modern spaces to lush, layered planting schemes. Our designs are tailored to your home, lifestyle, and preferences — whether you love native gardens, formal symmetry, or something more contemporary.
Do you offer retaining wall solutions for sloped blocks?
Absolutely. Many homes in Balwyn North sit on sloped land, so retaining walls are often essential — not just for function, but also for form. We offer a range of options including bluestone, timber, concrete sleeper and custom masonry.
How long will my landscaping project take?
Timeframes depend on the scale of the project. Most projects take between 4 to 12 weeks once construction begins, but we’ll give you a clear schedule once we’ve finalised your design and scope of works.
Do you work with existing gardens, or only do complete redesigns?
We do both. Some clients in Balwyn North want a full garden overhaul, while others are looking to upgrade specific areas like front yards, pool zones or outdoor entertaining areas. We’re happy to help either way.
Can I see examples of your work nearby?
Yes — we’ve completed several projects in and around Balwyn North. You can view selected projects on our website, or we can share more examples during your consultation.
Who will be managing my project?
Every project is personally overseen by Simon, our director and lead designer. From your first consultation to the final walk-through, Simon is involved every step of the way — ensuring your landscape is delivered with care, attention to detail, and a designer’s eye for balance and beauty.
What’s the process for starting a landscaping project with you?
It starts with a conversation. We’ll meet on-site to understand your vision, lifestyle, and how you use the space. From there, we move into the design phase — developing a tailored concept that reflects both form and function. Once you’re happy with the design, we move into construction. Simon manages the project from start to finish, keeping everything on track and ensuring the final result matches the original vision.
