Our projects use premium materials, including natural stone, top-quality plants and locally sourced soils. With years of horticultural and construction experience, we ensure your garden performs well long into the future.

EARTHWORKS & EXCAVATIONS
Earthworks form the foundation of every successful landscape. Using a skid steer loader and excavator, we handle site cuts, levelling, reshaping, trenching and preparation for all structures and planting zones. Proper earthworks prevent future drainage issues, improve soil conditions and provide a stable base for paving, turf, retaining walls and garden beds. Our precise approach ensures your site is ready for construction and sets the stage for a long-lasting, well-planned garden.

PAVING
We install all types of natural stone and outdoor porcelain pavers with skill and accuracy. Each paved area is laid using industry best-practice methods, including correct substrate preparation, drainage management and finishing. Whether it’s a garden path, patio, entertaining zone or pool surround, we create paved surfaces that are safe, level, durable and visually striking. Our long-term experience with natural stone means we understand the right techniques to prevent movement and maintain clean, crisp lines for years to come.

IRRIGATION
A well-designed irrigation system keeps your garden thriving while saving water. We design and install fully automated irrigation systems tailored to your landscape’s layout, plant selection and soil type. This includes drip systems, lawn sprinklers, micro-sprays and deep-soak zones for trees. Our horticultural background helps us understand exactly how much water different species need and how seasonal changes affect soil moisture. From small courtyards to large rural blocks, we create systems that keep your garden healthy with minimal effort.

PLANT SUPPLY
As trained horticulturalists, we know how crucial plant quality is to the long-term success of your garden. We select premium stock from leading nurseries and growers, ensuring plants are healthy, well-rooted and suited to local conditions. We choose species based on climate, sunlight exposure, soil structure, wind levels and maintenance preferences. This ensures your plants establish quickly, thrive naturally and grow into a strong, cohesive garden over time. You get a beautiful landscape that continues to improve each season.

TURF
We supply and install turf varieties specifically suited to the Surf Coast environment. This includes drought-tolerant species, hardy coastal varieties and soft, dense lawn options for high-use areas. Our preparation process includes levelling, soil improvement, fertilising and precise laying to ensure seamless joins and fast establishment. The result is a lush, even lawn that withstands foot traffic, pets and changing weather conditions.

WATER FEATURES & PONDS
Water brings calm, movement and energy to any outdoor space. We design and build ponds, streams and custom water features in styles ranging from natural and organic to modern and architectural. Each installation is created to complement surrounding plants, stonework and layout. We consider water flow, filtration and maintenance to ensure your feature runs smoothly and remains visually appealing throughout the year.

STONE WORK
Natural stone adds structure, contrast and timeless character to a garden. We craft stone retaining walls, steps, garden borders, seating, fireplaces and feature walls. Each piece is constructed with strength and precision, ensuring both beauty and stability. Stonework is ideal for coastal landscapes because it stands up to weather, erosion and salty air, creating a strong visual anchor for your garden.

POOL SURROUNDS
We design and construct pool surrounds that look great and perform well. Materials include natural stone and outdoor porcelain, chosen for slip resistance and durability. We consider fall, drainage and thermal properties in every design. The surround integrates with paving, planting and pool safety zones. Finished areas are easy to maintain and enhance poolside comfort and appearance.

HORTICULTURE & NATIVE PLANTING EXPERTS
Horticulture is at the core of our business. Our understanding of local soils, wind exposure, drainage and microclimates allows us to select plants that perform exceptionally well in Surf Coast conditions. We strongly promote the use of native species. These plants adapt naturally to our region, require less water, support stronger root development and reduce long-term maintenance.
Native planting also plays a vital role in attracting local birds, bees and beneficial insects, helping strengthen biodiversity and create a thriving, balanced ecosystem in your backyard. By choosing species suited to your environment, we ensure your garden grows healthier, stronger and more resilient with every passing season.
