What We Do 
Landscape design and construction across Brighton and the bayside suburbs
Landscape design and construction in Brighton means working with sandy, sloping blocks squeezed between the bay and busy streets. We handle the whole job, from the first sketch to the last paver, so a design on paper doesn't turn into three separate trades and three separate headaches.
A lot of the calls we get start the same way. A backyard that looks fine from the back door but never actually gets used. A sloped block that sheds soil every time it rains. A pool area that's just concrete and a fence. We work through the practical side first, drainage, retaining, access, then build outward into the parts people actually enjoy, the deck, the pergola, the fire pit.
Every job runs through one team from design to finished construction, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the build. Get in touch and we'll walk the site with you before anything is costed.
Our Services
Our top landscaping services
Three services most Brighton projects start with. The full list, including retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and pool landscaping, is covered in detail below.
01— Our Services
Landscape Design & Construction
Every project starts here. We walk the block, work out where the water goes, where the sun sits, and how the family actually wants to use the space, then draw a plan that ties the retaining, the deck or patio, and the planting together as one design. From there, the same team carries the job through construction. Site prep, structural work, then the finishing touches, so the finished garden matches the plan instead of drifting from it along the way.

Retaining Walls
Brighton's sandy soil and sloping blocks mean water and movement are the two things a retaining wall actually has to solve, not just hold a bank of dirt in place. We build in timber, concrete sleeper, stone or block, whichever suits the height, the load and the look of the property, with proper drainage behind every wall so it keeps doing its job through a wet Melbourne winter. Taller or engineered walls are built to meet council and Australian Standard requirements before the first sleeper goes in.

Deck Builders
A deck only earns its keep if it actually gets used, so we start with how the household spends time outside before picking a layout or a material. Decking gets built to suit the slope and shape of the block, tied into the pergola, patio or garden around it rather than sitting as an isolated platform. The result is an outdoor space that works for everyday use and for entertaining, not just one or the other.

Pergolas & Patios
A pergola or patio gives a backyard a defined space for eating, sitting or entertaining, instead of one big open lawn with no obvious place to put a table. We design and build both to match the house and the rest of the garden, choosing materials and a layout that hold up to bayside weather. Where it makes sense, we tie a pergola or patio into a deck, a fire pit or an outdoor kitchen so the whole back of the property reads as one connected space.

Fire Pits
A fire pit works best as part of the wider garden, not as a metal ring dropped onto a random patch of lawn. We design the fire pit and the seating around it together with the paving, planting and any deck or patio nearby, so it reads as a proper feature of the garden rather than an afterthought.

06— Our Services
Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen needs to sit close to the dining and entertaining areas it serves, with enough bench space and shelter to actually get used through summer. We plan the layout alongside the deck, patio or pergola it sits next to, so cooking, dining and seating all work together as one outdoor room instead of three separate zones competing for space.

Pool Landscaping
A pool surrounded by bare concrete and a fence rarely gets used for anything beyond swimming laps. We design the planting, paving and any retaining around the pool as one connected space, so the area works for lounging and entertaining as well as swimming. Where the block slopes toward or away from the pool, retaining and drainage get built in from the start rather than patched in afterwards.

Why Brighton Locals Choose Us
Why Brighton locals choose us
One team from design to finished build
No handing the job between a designer, a landscaper and a separate retaining wall contractor. One team carries the plan through to completion.
Built for Brighton's ground, not a generic block
Sandy soil, slope and drainage get worked out before the first material is chosen, not discovered halfway through the job.
Clear communication through the job
You know what's happening on site and when, instead of chasing updates.
Connected outdoor spaces, not isolated features
Decks, pergolas, patios, fire pits and outdoor kitchens get designed to work together, not as separate add-ons.
FAQ
Questions Brighton customers ask us
How much does a retaining wall or landscaping project cost?
It depends on the length, height, material and how much drainage and site work the block needs. We measure the site and give a clear quote before anything starts, with no cost discussed until we've actually seen the ground.
My yard is sloped and the drainage is bad, can that be fixed as part of the landscaping?
Yes. Drainage and retaining are usually the first thing we work through on a sloped Brighton block, before any deck, patio or garden design gets finalised.
Do I need council approval for a retaining wall, deck or pergola?
It depends on the height and type of structure. Taller or engineered retaining walls generally need approval, and we build to meet council and Australian Standard requirements where that applies.
Can you manage the whole project, from the design through to the actual build?
Yes, one team handles the design and the construction, so the finished result matches the plan instead of drifting between separate trades.
Can a deck, pergola, patio and fire pit all be combined into one outdoor living space?
Yes, that's usually how we approach a backyard redesign, planning the connected areas together rather than treating each one as a separate project.
Do you landscape around an existing pool, or only new pool installs?
Both. We landscape around pools that are already in, as well as planning the surrounds for a new pool install.
What happens after I get in touch, do you visit the site before quoting?
Yes, we walk the block with you first. Drainage, slope and access all affect the plan, so we look at the actual site before putting a quote together.
