habitat native landscapes
We design and create native, bio-diverse gardens that support local ecosystems and habitat for wildlife in the Sydney region.Our background in science, bush regeneration and conservation allows us to work with clients to showcase the beauty of the Australian bushland.We work from design to implementation to create habitat for humans and wild things.
design consultations and plant selection
We can provide a complete design consultation, taking into account your soils, aspect and design preferences. This includes:- A 2 hour site visit
- A site design with landscaping recommendations
- A plant list based on local ecological communitiesWe use local plants because they respond best to the geology and climate, and create genuine habitat and food sources for local animals.We like to use complex plantings 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.We can also work in small spaces, including balconies and container gardens.
landscaping
We can build various landscaping features:- softscaping and garden creation
- ponds, streams and water systems
- paving, edging and raised bedsWe prefer to use reclaimed landscaping materials where possible.Sandstone blocks, rusted steel, brick rubble, terracotta pipes and salvaged logs are all used along native plant selections.We work with a reclaimed hardwood timber company in Marrickville to source timber for our projects.These choices reduce our footprint as a business and keep costs down for the client.
bush regeneration and maintenance
We specialise in gardens that are adjacent to bushland. We are trained and experienced in weed removal and revegetation techniques. We can provide:- assessment of the site, including a survey of the plant community, natural resilience and seed bank
- advice on weed removal
- natural regeneration of the bushland through weed removal and replanting techniques

He's spent 5 years in research looking at Australia's native bees and other pollinators, and presents workshops on creating complex invertebrate habitats in urban spaces and small gardens.Jeanna is an accomplished bush regenerator with a degree in environmental science and a certificate of conservation and ecosystem management. She works with councils and private companies to restore bushland back to healthy, vibrant ecosystems.They bring together years of experience working with Australian plants and animals, and understanding local soil, water and ecological systems.
