habitat native landscapes
We design and build modern gardens that showcase Australian native ecology and create habitat for humans and wild things. We specialise in indigenous plant selections of the Sydney region, coupled with natural and built elements
plant selection
We use local plants because they respond best to the geology and climate, and create genuine habitat and food sources for local animals.We choose complex plant selections which mirror local bushland. This can include feature trees and showy flowering shrubs, but we specialise and love working with groundcovers, grasses and water plants.
material choice
We prefer to use reclaimed landscaping materials where possible.Reclaimed sandstone blocks, rusted steel, brick rubble, terracotta pipes and salvaged logs are all elements of the Australian landscape that we choose.We partner with a reclaimed hardwood timber company in Marrickville to source timber for hardscaping.These choices reduce our footprint as a business and keep costs down for the client.
