The result is a premium coastal garden that blends relaxed style with lasting practicality.
Key Features: Byron Bay-inspired coastal palette | Advanced frangipani feature planting | Wildlife-friendly design | Structural boundary wall restoration

Custom water features and considered seating areas complete a garden designed to thrive with minimal attention across the client’s busy travel schedule.

We were especially impressed with Phil’s attention to detail, taking care of all the little things and managing the many different elements of the project.” — Stirling Client
A modern family outdoor space built for year-round living. Multiple zones flow from a raised pergola overlooking the pool, through Millboard bench seating, to a cantilevered deck platform connecting the pool area and alfresco dining. Tropical, low-maintenance planting softens the architectural hardscape of stone, tile, timber, and rendered walls. Front fencing ties the whole property together in one cohesive material palette.
Key Features: Cantilevered Millboard deck platform | Raised entertaining pergola | Tropical planting palette | Cohesive front-to-back material flow

A collaborative restoration project centred on repurposing the property’s original materials. The home’s original metal gates, each weighing approximately 250 kilograms, were carefully repositioned as a striking garden feature. After years of trade access and storage had left the landscape compacted and trees in decline, a professional arborist guided the restoration. The result is a revitalised, thriving garden ecosystem.
Key Features: Repurposed 250kg heritage metal gates | Arborist-guided tree restoration | Crazy paving stepper reuse | Ecosystem rehabilitation

A staged revival of the gardens at a heritage-listed North Adelaide hospital. After a major renovation left much of the original landscape stripped back, the grounds were rebuilt across three carefully managed phases, with a planting palette chosen to complement the building’s heritage character. The result is a series of calm, green spaces for patients, visitors and staff, which we continue to maintain on a fortnightly basis.
Key Features: Heritage-sympathetic planting palette | Three-phase staged delivery | Calm patient and visitor spaces | Ongoing fortnightly maintenance
