Landscaping services in Thornbury
Landscape design
Thornbury, our landscape design services start first with understanding your vision, whether it’s creating a relaxing garden retreat, an outdoor living space for entertaining or an attractive green space that will add to the property’s looks. The Thornbury creative community inspires us to create gardens that celebrate the suburb’s eclectic character.
Nearby to popular landmarks like Merri Creek and All Nations Park, we get our inspiration from Thornbury’s natural surroundings and set elements that relate your garden to its location. Due to Melbourne’s hot dry summers and cool wet winters we pick hardy, native plants such as Bottlebrush, Grevillea and Kangaroo Paw that are right for the climate and help conserve water. These are great looking plants that come with great colour and texture but they’re also good low maintenance plants.
Our team will design a plan that matches your taste and preference, whether you are looking for naturalistic garden or a contemporary space with simple lines that have minimal features. For family friendly backyards to commercial landscapes, we specialise in working with properties of all types and sizes, creating visions and bringing them to life in the most beautiful, most functional way possible.
Landscape construction
Our Thornbury landscape construction team will then come in to bring your design to reality once it is finalised. Leading the field with years of experience building high quality, we do everything from prepping the site to installing paving, retaining walls, and water features that bring a usable, beautiful dimension to your outdoor space.
With the huge range of property types in Thornbury, we are able to accommodate our construction services to accommodate a smaller inner city courtyard renovation, or a larger residential property adding additional landscaping. We consult on sources of durable, premium materials to keep your garden robust and beautiful for years to come in Melbourne’s climate.
For Thornbury’s heritage homes, we pay particular attention to maintaining an aesthetic that complements traditional architecture, creating gardens that feel as though they’ve always been a part of the landscape. As you bring in today’s new developments, we make sure you call on us to bring modern touches, sophistication and style to your outdoor area that is distinctly yours.

Our consultants work with you – choosing plants that thrive in the local soil and otherwise providing solutions to drainage and irrigation – in order to make the best choices for your outdoor space.
In addition to those who wish to establish a garden or those in need of refresh, our consulting service also helps those who already have their garden. First, we’ll evaluate the status quo, offer suggestions for improvement, and show you how to develop a plan that fits your requirements, budget, and Thornbury-specific environmental realities.
Understanding development approval (DA) in Thornbury
If you’re about to embark on a major landscaping project, first, find out if you need development approval (DA) for things such as retaining walls, extensive hardscaping and water features. The City of Darebin administers planning permits and authorisations for changes to property landscapes that amount to substantial changes to the land form. Our team can also assist you in navigating the DA process in order to keep your project working within council regulations if it’s needed.
For more information, you can visit the City of Darebin Planning Permits page. Using our experience with local council processes, we stream line the approval steps so that your project gets approved quickly, in accordance with local guidelines.
