Landscape Design

Landscape Design on the Northern Beaches

A garden should feel inevitable — as if it always belonged to the home and the site. Our landscape designers shape gardens, pools and outdoor spaces to suit your block, your home and the coast — drawn to be built by our own landscape team.

WHY LANDSCAPE DESIGN MATTERS

A garden that ignores the site never quite works.

Coastal blocks are slopes, salt, drainage and views — a landscape drawn without them looks good on paper and fails in the ground. Good landscape design starts with the site, and is drawn to be built.

Designs that ignore the slope

Plans that can’t be built as drawn.

Plant choices that won’t survive

Species wrong for salt and sand.

Gardens that fight the house

Outdoor spaces that don’t relate to the architecture.

Pools placed without the site in mind

Design that creates engineering problems later.

Drawings a builder can’t price

Concepts with no path to construction.

A design that stops at pretty

No thought for how it’s built or maintained.

Designed for the site and drawn to be built, a landscape works from day one — and grows into itself.

WHAT WE DESIGN

The whole outdoor space, designed as one.

We design every layer of the landscape — and because we build too, every plan is drawn to be built.

Garden design

Planting schemes and layouts suited to your site and the coast.

Structural landscaping

Levels, terracing, retaining and hardscape, designed to work.

Pool design

Pools shaped for the site and resolved with the whole space (built by our pool team).

Lighting & irrigation

The systems that keep a garden usable and alive.

Materials & finishes

Paving, decking and surfaces selected to last.

Designed to be built

Every plan coordinated with our landscape builders.

HOW IT WORKS

From site to a garden that belongs.

We take your landscape from first walk of the site to a resolved, buildable design — and, if you choose, straight into construction with our own team.

Consultation

We walk your site and discuss how you want to use the space.

Concept Design

Layouts, levels, planting, pool and lighting designed together.

Documentation

Plans and specifications ready to build.

Design to Build

We hand the design to our landscape team (see Landscape Construction).

Delivery

The garden built to match the drawings, and made to grow in.

From start to finish, the Beaches Group team demonstrated professionalism and a dedication to delivering top-notch results. Not only did they stay within budget, but the quality of their work exceeded our expectations.

Drawn to be built

Designs our own team can construct, not just render.

One team, design to garden

No gap between the plan and the planting.

Built for the coast

Planting and materials chosen to last.

Local knowledge

Coastal gardens and Northern Beaches conditions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Landscape design, answered.

Do you design landscapes only, or build them too?

We do both — but this is our design service. We design the landscape and, if you choose, our own team builds it (see Landscape Construction). You’re also free to take the design and build elsewhere.

Do you design pools as part of the landscape?

Yes. Pool design is part of designing the whole outdoor space, so the pool, surrounds and garden resolve together. The pool itself is built by our pool team (see Pool Construction).

Can you design just a garden, or the whole outdoor space?

Either. From a planting scheme for one area to a full landscape master plan — we scale to your project.

Will the design actually be buildable to budget?

Yes — that’s the point of designing with a builder. Because we build landscapes too, every plan is drawn to be constructed and priced, not left as a concept a builder can’t deliver.

What areas do you design for?

The Northern Beaches — from Manly to Palm Beach — and Sydney’s North Shore.
