Practical front gardens with better street appeal.

Front yard design

Designed around the home, access and daily maintenance.

The front garden should feel connected to the style and scale of the home. Before recommending a layout, we consider the appearance of the house, front-door access, driveway position, boundaries, ground levels, drainage, sunlight, existing trees, privacy, views from the street, plant size at maturity, ongoing maintenance and available budget.

A simple, balanced design will often produce a better result than trying to fit too many features into the space.

New front lawns and turf installation

A clean lawn can connect the home, garden beds and pathways.

Our turf work can include removing the existing lawn, clearing weeds, soil preparation, new turf underlay, levelling, drainage preparation, natural turf installation, initial watering and establishment guidance.

The turf variety should suit the available sunlight, foot traffic, soil and the level of lawn maintenance you are comfortable undertaking.

Paving, pathways and front entrances

A clear and practical route to the front door.

Options may include continuous paved paths, stepping stones, pavers with decorative gravel, garden paths, steps, driveway connections and paths between the front and side of the property. Base preparation, levels, edges and surface drainage are considered before pavers are installed.

Retaining walls and level changes

Make sloping ground easier to use.

Retaining walls can support raised beds, manage changing levels, create flatter lawn areas, define an entrance and separate paths from planting. Wall location, height, drainage, nearby structures and boundary conditions need to be considered before construction.

Some walls may require engineering, a building permit or planning approval. Requirements should be confirmed for the individual property before work begins.
