Northcote Landscape Design Project
Project Brief
The client wanted to remove all the concrete from the front yard and replace it with a landscaped area consisting of natural stone paving, trees and thick lush planting. In this Northcote landscape design our clients wanted to beautify the garden and entrance to the house so they could sit and enjoy the space.
The completed project improved not just the look and feel of the property, but the liveability of it too.

The work done for this Northcote landscape design and construction project
Once planning was complete, the first step was to bring in our excavation equipment and remove all the shrubs, trees, concrete and concrete retaining walls.
- There was a large palm tree that needed to be cut back and retained in the side courtyard.
- New levels were set in the front yard, and compacted crush rock was added under all concrete paving slab areas.
- Preparation for all blue line plumbing for a fully automated watering system, and conduits were expertly placed for under paving slabs for garden lighting.
- Once the concrete slab was poured, we brought in new blended soil to raise the garden bed areas.
- At this stage most of the major ground works had been completed and preparations for all the paving/tiling was completed.
- Here we used French pattern paving.
- The steel fabricators built and installed new powder coated steel inserts between the existing brick pillars.
- Mature planting (a great selection from the garden designer), irrigation, garden lighting and the mulch to finish off.
The Result
This landscaping and construction project in Northcote was built on time and within budget. There were additional stormwater upgrades performed while we were on site which was much appreciated by the client.
Our client loves the new outdoor space and design, and the landscaped front yard has made the house a lot more liveable, with updated finishes vastly improving the look and feel of the property.
As with many well-planned renovations we do, there was a significant increase in property valuation after renovation was complete.
