From Concept Through to Council Approval
WE PLAN YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE — FROM CONCEPT THROUGH TO APPROVAL
We are a landscape planning and drafting studio providing a professional design, documentation and council approval service to bring your outdoor vision to reality.
Are you planning to landscape your home, add a pool, or need council approval for your development? We ensure your landscape plans are both functional and beautifully designed — and fully compliant with local council requirements.
Navigating council approvals can be complex, which is why we work closely with clients throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final submission, we're there every step of the way.
Individually designed, site-specific landscape plans from small courtyards to large residential sites — native, water-wise, or sleek contemporary styles.
Pool design, drafting and full council approval documentation for Development Applications and Complying Development Certificates.
Landscape plans prepared to council specification for Development Application submissions across Northern Sydney, Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Hunter LGAs.
Landscape documentation for CDC approvals — a faster alternative to the full DA process for eligible residential works.
Expert plant selection and horticultural advice based on 25+ years experience — tailored to your soil, aspect, and local conditions.
