Native plants can be tough. We make it easier than ever.
Native garden design and planting across the Lockyer Valley. We match species to the sun, soil, drainage, available space and job each part of the garden needs to do, then install them with enough room to grow.
The right species, in the right position.
A native garden is not one plant list copied across every block. The layout needs to suit the conditions and the role each plant will perform.
We can plan screening, layered garden beds, habitat planting, feature trees and lower-maintenance areas. Then we install the garden and explain how to establish it.
Native garden design and planting
- A site check covering sunlight, soil, drainage, frost exposure and available space
- Plant selection matched to each position and the look you want to achieve
- Screening plants chosen for mature height, width and growth habit
- Layout and spacing based on mature plant size
- Soil preparation, fertiliser and mulch where required
- Supply and installation of suitable native and feature plants
Planned for year five, not day one.
Native plants still need the right position, spacing and establishment care. We plan for how the garden will grow, not how full it looks when we leave.
Screening without overcrowding
We choose shrubs and trees by mature height and width, so they can screen the view without growing into each other.
Layers that work together
Groundcovers, small shrubs, larger shrubs and feature plants each get the light and room they need.
Less maintenance later
Suitable plants, correct spacing and proper ground preparation reduce pruning, replacement and weed pressure as the garden develops.
From plant brief to establishment advice.
On-Site Consultation
We check the light, soil, drainage, frost exposure and space, then discuss privacy, colour, habitat and maintenance priorities.
Planting Plan & Quote
We select plants by role and mature size, set the spacing and provide a clear scope and price.
Preparation & Planting
We prepare the planting areas, install the plants, fertiliser and mulch, and leave the site tidy.
Establishment Handover
You receive straightforward watering and care advice for the first weeks and months.
Screening that still has room to grow.
A row of young shrubs can look sparse on day one. However, planting them too close creates competition, weak growth and more pruning later. We choose screening plants by mature height, width and density, then space them for the long term.
If you need privacy, shade or a softer boundary, we can recommend a mix that suits the available width and the conditions along the fence line.
