Landscape Design & Garden Makeovers
Here at Looking Good Landscaping, we pride ourselves on bringing stunning, functional and relaxing environments to life for our clients.
We don’t use a template or a one-size-fits-all approach. When it comes to designing your garden or outdoor space, every aspect of your landscape design is unique to your lifestyle, your character and your needs. It’s our personal touch and attention to detail which makes us stand out from the pack.
Designing Your Dream Garden Makeover
If you want a dream garden design of your own, the first step is to give us a call!
Once we know the type of services that you are looking for, we organise an onsite consultation to discuss:
- your ideas
- your needs
- your design preferences, including a wish list of things you want to include
- hardscaping (such as paving, limestone blockwork & paths)
- softscaping and horticulture to suit your garden and the local environment
- budget and timeline estimates
- any questions you may have about the process
Why is Landscape Design Important?
In Australia, there are few things better than being able to enjoy the outdoors in your own backyard.
By putting a focus on landscape design at the start of a project, you gain complete control over your garden or space and we’re in the best position to align the project with your needs. For this reason, undertaking landscape design work from start to finish on a residential or commercial property is a favourite of ours.
At Looking Good Landscaping, our philosophy is to undertake each project with friendly, old-fashioned service that exceeds your expectations. We want you to enjoy your Looking Good garden or backyard for many years to come.
Professional vs DIY Jobs
A trap many eager DIY’ers fall into is framing landscape design as a simple weekend project that can be conquered alone. In practice, these DIY plans often end up over budget, over time and in need of some professional help!
Our professional landscape designers are screened for experience and a number of essential skills, such as:
- creativity
- lateral and spatial thinking
- strong communication ability
- design and drawing skills
- good horticultural knowledge
- an eye for detail
Your landscape designer is also responsible for managing contractors, working to a timeline, sticking to your budget and mitigating issues as they arise.
Types of Landscaping
When we refer to landscaping, there are two main types: hardscaping and softscaping.

From Consultation to the Project
After we have met with you for an onsite consultation, we will provide you with a quote for the landscape design, detailing the scope of works and costs associated.
If you accept our quote for the project and pay your deposit, we can provide you with 2D drawings of the space (costs associated if requested) and begin working on the finer details of the project, including plant species and intricate layouts.
Rest assured, we take all your suggestions on board and are happy to make changes until you are satisfied with the project. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, we can work with that too.
Once you are happy and we have finalised all the details, we will book the job in and advise you of any important dates for the project.
