Landscape Design in Chatswood
For more than twenty years we have designed and built gardens across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, and Chatswood is part of the area we service. It is an established, family-oriented suburb of period and contemporary homes on comfortable blocks, where the brief is usually a versatile garden that connects to the house, gives the children room to play and screens close neighbours without closing the space in.
As your project gets started, we set up a meeting to understand your needs and the space you’re working with. We talk through ideas and materials, and draw on our past projects to see how they might fit your home. After that meeting we send over a quick questionnaire for you to complete. The questionnaire, together with the insights gathered from our initial conversation, forms the foundation of a comprehensive project overview tailored to your new garden.
We service Chatswood and the surrounding Lower North Shore, and our understanding of the area is extensive. Our collection of projects and our experience let us confidently create garden designs and build landscapes of various forms, from a single considered courtyard through to a full garden, pool and entertaining area. If you have a question about our services or your own project, call us on 1300 460 690.

Why Chatswood is different
Chatswood blocks are generally regular with only a gentle fall, so the emphasis sits less on heavy retaining and more on how the garden lives day to day. The suburb’s mix of Federation homes and newer builds rewards materials and detailing that suit the house, and its mature, leafy streets favour planting with real structure and longevity. Privacy from close and increasingly tall neighbours is a common driver, best handled with layered screen planting and considered levels rather than solid walls.
Services in Chatswood
We service Chatswood and the wider Lower North Shore, and we understand the brief, from decks and entertaining terraces through to lawns, hedging, pools and full landscape builds. Our team includes landscape architects, project managers, pool builders, structural landscapers and horticulturalists, so a project moves from concept to a finished, planted garden without being handed between separate businesses.
Chatswood council & site notes
Willoughby City Council
Chatswood is within the Willoughby City Council area. Established trees are commonly protected, so removal or significant pruning usually needs consent, and it is better to design around a tree you are likely to keep than to bank on a removal that may not be approved. Some works proceed as exempt or complying development, while larger changes, pools or work in a heritage-affected street may need a development application. We factor this in during design and can prepare the documentation council requires.
