Plan the land. Then build the house.
Smart landscape design for new builds and massive renovations on the Sunshine Coast. Exclusively using Australian native plants.
Most people think about the garden last. That’s an expensive mistake.
Right now, you are probably in one of two situations.
You might be standing on a vacant block or looking at an old house you’re about to knock down, wondering where a new build should actually sit. Or, you might already have draft drawings from a builder, but you’ve suddenly realized no one has put any serious thought into what happens outside the back door.
If you leave the yard as an afterthought, you end up with retaining walls you didn't expect, outdoor areas that bake in the afternoon sun, and a house that feels totally disconnected from the land it sits on.
We make sure that doesn't happen.
Getting the layout right from the start.
We figure out how your whole property should work before a single shovel hits the dirt.
If you are starting from a blank slate, we map out the land to find the absolute best spot for the house, the pool, and the driveway. We look at the slopes, the summer shade, and the winter sun.
If you already have house drawings, we review them with a fresh set of eyes. We check how the indoor rooms connect to the outside. Sometimes, simply shifting a sliding door on the paper plans changes how you use the entire backyard.
We do all this thinking upfront so you don't waste money fixing mistakes later.
100% Australian Natives. Nothing else.
We don’t use exotic plants. We only plant Australian natives because they actually belong in Sunshine Coast soil.
They don't need you to water them constantly, and they bring the local birds right to your windows. But more importantly, when native plants are planned out with actual structure—instead of just thrown into a garden bed randomly—they look incredibly sharp.
You get a yard that is low maintenance, resilient, and looks like it was meant to be there.
How we get it done.
Step 1:
We meet on the block. We spend a couple of hours walking the property together. We look at the land, talk about what you want to achieve, and give you honest advice on what will actually work.
Step 2:
We review or plan the footprint. If you have house drawings, we review them to make sure the outdoor flow makes sense. If you don't have drawings yet, we map out the best zones for your future architect to work with.
Step 3:
We draw the final masterplan. This is the complete blueprint. It shows exactly where every path, patio, and plant goes. You hand this drawing straight to a landscaping crew, and they know exactly what to build.

“Justin did an amazing design for our garden. He took the time to really understand the vision we had and match that to the house and surrounding area. We could not be any happier with the finished result.”
