Landscape Design

Landscape Design Adelaide is a multi-award-winning garden construction and maintenance business. They create elegant and unique landscapes for their clients to complement their homes and lifestyles.

Like building architects, landscapers are responsible for all aspects of your outdoor space. It includes developing preliminary concepts and construction plans, planting designs, illustrative plans and 3-dimensional renderings.

Backyards

A landscape designer will consider your vision for your backyard and garden area and a range of other elements, including your budget. It will help you create a design that is perfect for your home. Depending on your requirements, the size of your garden and how much you are prepared to spend, different elements such as paving, plants, retaining walls and garden lighting will be included in the design.

A backyard design can include anything from a small courtyard to an ample entertaining space with a pool. It could also feature a BBQ area, outdoor fireplace and alfresco dining area. The most important thing is creating a space that suits your lifestyle and your family’s needs.

Licensed landscapers in Adelaide can provide ideas for your back and front gardens and courtyards and draw up hardscape construction and softscape design plans. Some may only help with the design part of a garden makeover, while others will deliver and construct the landscape designs they have provided for you.

Front Gardens

Many homes are on the street, and the front garden is integral to the kerb appeal. Landscaping designers know that people often drive past a property before deciding to visit, so the first impression is critical.

A front garden should be welcoming and inviting; suitable plantings can help achieve this. Choosing plants with various shapes, sizes, and colours will add visual interest. Layering also creates a sense of depth and dimension, highlighting focal points in the landscape. For example, the bluestone pathways in this Melbourne front garden by Inge Jabara are flanked by lovely layers of Portuguese laurel, English box, lamb’s ears and German iris.

If you have limited space, a native formal garden may be ideal for maximising your kerb appeal. This landscape design style focuses on choosing Australian species that have a neat and compact form and respond well to pruning. Tim met this brief by creating densely planted ‘islands’ of garden flanking the cobblestone pathway to the front door at this Federation home and a shady canopy over the path from Poinciana and frangipani trees.

A shady garden is a great way to maximise the use of your outdoor living space in Adelaide’s hot, dry climate. It is all about selecting species that will provide low-maintenance greenery that will look good with a range of soil conditions. This garden is a good choice for those wanting a lush, rainforest feel with high visual impact in a small space.

Plants that provide food for wildlife are a fantastic addition to any green space. Adelaide’s climate suits various edible gardens, from exotic fruiting trees to perennial herbs and shrubs. Native water-wise plants can also add structure, colour and texture to the understorey.
