Why choose us?

Every garden is designed around the way people live, gather, grow food and connect with nature. Combining landscape design, ecological horticulture and regenerative principles, we create living ecosystems that thrive naturally while growing richer, healthier and more resilient with time.

We're a member of the Landscape Design Institute (LDI) — Australia’s peak body representing professional landscape designers.

Artisanship

We’re passionate about working with artisans, trades and craftspeople to repurpose and upcycle materials in thoughtful and creative ways. By reusing existing materials where possible, we help reduce waste while creating gardens with character, history and a lighter environmental footprint.

How we work

Established in 2010

Since 2010, we've helped families, schools, businesses and communities create landscapes that grow food, restore biodiversity and enrich everyday life. Every project begins by getting to know you, your place and the life you want to create there.

Philosophy

Before we think about what your garden could become, we want to understand how you want to live. We want to know how you imagine spending time outdoors, how your family uses the space today and how you hope it will evolve over time. From there, we create a landscape that truly belongs—one that becomes healthier, more beautiful and more meaningful with every passing season.

He created a sophisticated, simple and stunningly beautiful Landscape Plan which added value to the property. The front entry and rear alfresco north facing spaces were opened up by the plan and have given all who entered and visited the property a very welcoming feeling. All have positively complimented the beautiful landscaping.

We thoroughly valued the guidance and expert input we received from Steve at Urban Greenspace. We were after a garden plan we could implement ourselves & he absolutely delivered that. He listened to our ideas, guided us away from plants he knew wouldn't work and had great ideas for things that would.
