Choosing a landscape designer in Sydney is not just about picking a style you like.
It is about working with a team that understands how each part of the city behaves in real life. Sun angles, drainage, soil profile, wind exposure, privacy requirements, and council constraints can change dramatically from one suburb to the next.
That is why we organise our service areas by region, so you can quickly find local experience that matches your property.
If you are planning an integrated outdoor space that includes a pool, entertaining zones, and planting, you will also find the right pathway to our pool and garden design options.

Landscape Design in Sydney, Tailored By Location
A strong outdoor design is always site-led. The best results come from aligning the design concept with practical construction realities, then selecting materials and plants that will thrive long term. Across Sydney regions, the same “nice idea” can fail if it ignores:
-
Microclimate: heat retention, shade, wind, salt exposure
-
Levels and drainage: fall direction, stormwater management, subsoil moisture
-
Privacy and overlooking: screening design that still allows light and airflow
-
Lifestyle and circulation: how people actually move through the space
-
Maintenance expectations: planting palettes that suit the owner’s time and priorities
Inner West Landscape Design
If you are in the Inner West, you are often working with compact footprints, heritage character, and high expectations for privacy. The key to successful Inner West design is getting the layout right first, then using materials and planting to create depth without crowding the space.
Common Inner West design goals
-
Courtyard zoning for dining, cooking, and quiet retreat
-
Screening that improves privacy without blocking light
-
Storage planning (bins, bikes, tools) that does not dominate the courtyard
-
Planting palettes that deliver year-round structure in smaller beds
Suburbs we commonly work across in the Inner West
Marrickville, Haberfield, Rozelle, Stanmore.
Eastern Suburbs Landscape Design
The Eastern Suburbs often combine architectural builds with coastal conditions and high design standards. Successful projects here typically balance refined hardscape with planting that can cope with exposure. The aim is a space that looks composed from day one and matures beautifully over time.
What we prioritise in the Eastern Suburbs
-
Material selection that suits coastal wear and daily use
-
Entertaining layouts that feel seamless from indoors to outdoors
-
Planting that delivers structure, privacy, and softness without constant upkeep
-
Lighting plans that improve safety and ambience at night
Suburbs we commonly service across the Eastern Suburbs
Paddington, Bronte, Waverley, Vaucluse.
Lower North Shore Landscape Design
In the Lower North Shore, many properties have established trees, complex shade patterns, and strong architectural cues that should guide the garden design. The best outcomes usually come from a design that respects the site’s existing structure, then upgrades flow, privacy, and outdoor usability through carefully planned zones.
Typical Lower North Shore design outcomes
-
Layered screening that looks natural, not forced
-
Refined material palettes that match modern or classic homes
-
Lighting and access improvements around steps and level changes
-
Planting that works with shade, canopy drip lines, and root zones
Suburbs we commonly service across the Lower North Shore
Mosman, Lane Cove, Cremorne, Neutral Bay.
Upper North Shore Landscape Design
The Upper North Shore often features larger lots, family-oriented use cases, and gardens that need to perform well in all seasons. Great design here is about achieving clarity. A cohesive layout, purposeful planting, and strong transitions between lawn, entertaining areas, and garden beds.
What we often design for in the Upper North Shore
-
Family-friendly zones that still feel premium and considered
-
Drainage and level planning for sloped sites
-
Planting plans built around long-term growth and seasonal balance
-
Pathways and lighting that improve access and day-to-day usability
Suburbs we commonly service across the Upper North Shore
Turramurra, Wahroonga, Pymble, St Ives.
Pool builder locations and integrated pool and garden design
If your project includes a pool, the best results are achieved when pool placement, levels, drainage, paving, and planting are designed as an integrated system. This is how you avoid common issues like awkward leftover spaces, slippery circulation routes, or planting that fails due to splash zones and heat reflection.
We service pool projects across key growth corridors, including the Hills District and North West Sydney, with a design-led approach that keeps the outdoor space cohesive.
FAQs
Which Sydney areas do you service for landscape design?
We service key Sydney regions including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore and Upper North Shore. This location’s hub links to suburb-specific pages, where you can find relevant design guidance and local examples.
Do you offer design for courtyards and small gardens?
Yes. Many Sydney properties need well-planned courtyards, side paths, and compact entertaining zones. We regularly design small outdoor areas with smart circulation, privacy screening, and planting that keeps the space feeling open.
Can you coordinate the pool and garden design?
Yes. For pool projects, we plan the pool position alongside paving, planting zones, lighting, drainage, and access so the outdoor area functions as one complete design.
