Landscape Design & Construction
We plan and construct practical outdoor spaces that fit your lifestyle and property. In Nowra, that might mean a shaded outdoor retreat, an entertainment area, or a functional front yard with great street appeal. We’ll walk you through the design process, explain your options, and develop a layout that reflects your space, budget and preferences. From sketch to structure, we handle every step—combining design experience with hands-on construction to make the build seamless. Whether residential or commercial, we tailor our work to suit the location and client.
Stonework & Paving
From durable garden edging to textured outdoor flooring, we install quality stonework and paving solutions across Nowra. Paved paths, pool surrounds and entryways are popular features we help bring to life. We’ll help you choose the right materials—natural stone, brick or concrete—to suit your needs and the existing landscape. Every surface is laid with attention to drainage, traffic and wear, so it holds up over time. We focus on workmanship that adds function and style to your outdoor areas.
Stylish Landscape Features
Need retaining walls, custom seating, or timber screening? We build tailored features for residential and commercial properties throughout Nowra. These additions enhance how your space looks and works—adding privacy, shade, structure or focal points.
We'll guide you through functional and aesthetic choices, making sure everything complements your landscape and serves its purpose. Whether you’re refreshing a tired backyard or starting from scratch, we’ll recommend long-lasting materials and design features to suit the location and your preferences.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider when planning a new garden layout?
When planning a garden layout, begin with the site’s conditions—sunlight, wind exposure, soil type and slope. Then consider how you’ll use the space: entertaining, relaxing, growing vegetables or showcasing plants. Think about flow, maintenance requirements, and views from inside your home. Layering plants by height, adding focal points like sculptures or trees, and incorporating shade and shelter will help create a functional and attractive garden. A scaled plan and planting schedule help keep the layout cohesive and well-organised.
What is softscaping, and how is it different from hardscaping?
Softscaping involves the living, horticultural elements of a landscape—plants, trees, grass, mulch, soil and garden beds. Hardscaping includes the non-living structural elements like pavers, decks, fences, retaining walls and pergolas. Together, they form the complete outdoor environment. A well-designed landscape uses both: hardscape elements provide structure and flow, while softscape elements soften the space and bring it to life.
What are low-maintenance landscape options?
Low-maintenance landscaping includes drought-tolerant plants, automated irrigation systems, synthetic turf, gravel or mulch groundcovers, and minimal lawn areas. Grouping plants with similar care needs and using weed barriers or ground covers reduces upkeep. Paving or decking for entertaining spaces also limits the need for mowing or pruning. Choosing native species that are well adapted to local conditions will reduce watering, fertilising and pest control requirements.
