Custom Landscape Design Perth — From Concept to Completion
Landscape By Design has been delivering bespoke landscape design in Perth for over 30 years.
We work with homeowners, builders, and commercial clients across the Perth metro area to create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, functional, and built to perform in Western Australia’s demanding climate.
As one of Perth’s most established landscaping companies, we bring 30 years of knowledge to every project we take on across the Perth metro area. Our landscaping Perth services cover the full scope of residential and commercial landscaping across the Perth area — from single-room courtyard designs to whole-of-property master plans for large houses.
Whether you are starting from a blank block or transforming an existing garden, our landscape design process covers everything — site analysis, concept planning, detailed design drawings, plant selection, and full construction documentation.
HOW WE WORK
Our Residential Landscape Design Process
Good landscape design is not about aesthetics alone. It is about understanding your block, your lifestyle, and the way you want to use your outdoor areas — and then building a plan that delivers on all three. Our process is structured to eliminate surprises and give you confidence at every stage. Our experienced team of Perth landscape designers and landscape architects takes the time to understand your vision before a single line is drawn.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your vision, your budget, and how your family uses the outdoor space. This is where we ask the questions that shape everything else — how much maintenance you want, whether you entertain regularly, whether children or pets are part of the picture, and what styles appeal to you. Getting landscapers and designers into the same conversation early in the process ensures that the lifestyle outcomes you are chasing are achievable within your budget and your block’s constraints.
Site Analysis
Perth’s sandy soils, hot dry summers, and coastal conditions create design challenges that generic solutions cannot address. Our team conducts a proper site analysis covering soil type, drainage patterns, sun and shade movement, existing structures, and any council or WAPC restrictions that apply to your property. This analysis is the foundation that prevents expensive mistakes later.
Concept Design
Based on the consultation and site data, we develop a concept plan that maps the major zones, flow, and elements of your new outdoor space. At this stage we work through the big decisions — where hardscape meets softscape, how traffic moves through the garden, where focal points sit, and how different areas connect. We review the concept with you before any detailed work begins. Throughout the entire process, our goal is to give you clarity — clarity on what you will get, what it will cost, and what the finished Perth landscape will look like before a single shovel hits the ground.
Detailed Design & Documentation
The detailed design package includes construction-ready drawings, planting schedules, material specifications, and irrigation plans. This documentation is what our construction team — and any subcontractors — build from. It also gives you a clear, itemised scope so there are no surprises when construction begins. For Perth homeowners building a new home, this documentation becomes the foundation for a garden landscaping scope that can be costed accurately by any qualified landscaper.
Construction Handover
For clients using our landscape construction service, the design team works directly with the construction team through handover. For clients who manage their own build, we provide the documentation package in a format any qualified landscaping contractor can work from. Either way, you leave the design process with a complete set of build-ready plans.
Creative Designs That Go Beyond Your Vision
We know what works and where. We are not afraid to go above and beyond the conventional ‘norms’ of landscaping. With your input, we will create something that is stunningly unique and very you. We do our utmost to create a setting that’s beyond anything you have imagined whilst always considering your budget and time constraints.
SERVICES
Landscape Design Services We Offer in Perth
Our Perth landscape design service covers residential and commercial projects of all scales. We have worked on everything from compact urban courtyards to large rural properties across the Perth metro area and surrounding regions.
Residential Landscape Design
Residential landscape design is the core of what we do. Perth homeowners come to us at all stages — new builds requiring a full design from scratch, established properties ready for a backyard renovation, and older homes where the garden has outgrown its original layout. Our residential design service covers front yards, backyards, side passages, and whole-of-property plans. Ideas for your outdoor space come from understanding how your family actually lives at home — and we discover that through a genuine conversation, not a generic questionnaire.
Commercial Landscape Design
Commercial landscape design requires a different approach to residential work. Foot traffic, maintenance budgets, brand presentation, and compliance with commercial building codes all influence the design brief. Our team has designed outdoor spaces for office developments, retail centres, strata complexes, aged care facilities, and industrial sites across Perth. We specialise in creating functional outdoor spaces that serve the needs of your business while making a lasting impression on clients, visitors, and staff.
Native Garden Design Perth
Native garden design has become one of the most requested services in our Perth studio. Western Australian native plants — kangaroo paw, banksia, grevillea, leptospermum, and agonis — are naturally suited to Perth’s dry summers, requiring far less water than exotic species once established. Our native garden designs combine ecological intelligence with strong visual appeal — these are not scrappy gardens, they are structured, considered outdoor spaces that reward the owner for years.
Courtyard and Small Garden Design
Small spaces reward good design more than large ones. In a small backyard or courtyard, every decision matters — an ill-placed structure, a plant that outgrows its spot, or a surface that reflects too much heat can make a compact outdoor space unusable. Our team has designed hundreds of Perth courtyards and small gardens and we know the techniques that make tight spaces feel generous: multi-level planting, vertical elements, strategic lighting, and materials that work with the scale rather than against it.
Pool and Outdoor Entertainment Design
Pool landscaping design requires coordination between the pool builder, the landscaping contractor, and the designer. Our team has extensive experience designing around pools of all shapes — from lap pools in narrow blocks to resort-style family pools with alfresco zones, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and feature planting. We handle the design coordination so the finished result looks like a single cohesive outdoor space, not a pool with landscaping bolted on around it.
CLIMATE CONSIDERATIONS
What Perth's Climate Means for Landscape Design
Perth’s Mediterranean climate — hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters — has direct implications for landscape design that many homeowners underestimate. A design that works beautifully in a Sydney or Melbourne garden will often fail in Perth without modification.
Soil, Irrigation and Water-Wise Design
Perth’s sandy coastal soils drain rapidly and hold few nutrients, which means soil preparation and amendment is not optional — it is foundational. Our designs include detailed soil preparation specifications and reticulation plans that account for water pressure, run-off zones, and the specific water requirements of each plant palette. Water Corporation guidelines on waterwise gardening inform our irrigation specifications on every project.
Heat, Shade and Outdoor Liveability
Perth summers regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius. Outdoor spaces that lack adequate shade become unusable for five months of the year. Our design process prioritises shade — from pergolas and shade sails to strategic tree placement — as a liveability requirement, not an afterthought. The orientation of your block, the direction of the prevailing sea breeze, and the location of existing structures all factor into how we position shade elements in the design.
OUR DIFFERENCE
Why Choose Landscape By Design
Perth homeowners have many landscaping companies to choose from. Here is what distinguishes our approach. We believe the quality of your outdoor environment should inspire the way you live — and every project we take on reflects that belief.
Years in Perth
30 Years of Perth Projects
We have been designing and building landscapes in Perth since the early 1990s. That longevity means we have seen how designs perform across decades — which plant palettes hold up, which materials weather well in coastal conditions, and which construction techniques stand up to Perth’s soils.
Integrated Team
Design-Build Under One Roof
Most of our clients engage us for both landscape design and landscape construction. This integrated approach eliminates the common problem of a design that looks great on paper but runs into buildability issues when a separate contractor tries to price and execute it.
Budget Surprises
Full Transparency on Budget
We discuss budget at the first consultation, not after the design is complete. Our designers work within stated budgets and are transparent about what is achievable at different investment levels. If a client wants to stage a project, we design the whole property in one master plan and stage construction accordingly.
