Qualified, collaborative, and adaptable
We bring all the skills, qualifications, and experience to deliver your project to the highest standards of construction and compliance on time and within budget.
We’re across all the required building codes, permits, and permissions, and we engage and manage all outside suppliers and trades involved to deliver your project with skill and precision. Most uniquely, our landscape design experts are always on-site as part of your construction team, so you only need to deal with one point of contact.
Clients may change their minds as a project progresses, or new site conditions may require a different approach. We adapt quickly and react to new requests or changes in real time, an approach that our clients appreciate and that makes us more agile than most.

Streamlined process
Our efficient process enables us to deliver landscaping and construction to match your vision on time and within budget.
It involves checking in and signing off at each stage to ensure we stay on track to deliver the space you want. Whether your project is big or small, there are four basic stages.
1. Consultation, brief and design
Our process begins with an initial client consultation to understand what you desire from the space and develop the design brief—which we share with you to ensure we’re all on the same page. From this brief, we develop landscape concept designs, planting plans, and working construction drawings where required.
2. Site preparation
Once the design is signed off, we commence groundwork. This may involve demolition and removal of existing structures or excavation to define correct levels. Existing water, gas, electricity, or sewer lines passing through the site must be factored into the works. Any plumbing, pipes, cables, or conduits required to service the finished design must be planned and installed before hard landscaping.
3. Hard landscaping
Hard landscaping is the construction of features made from bricks, stone, concrete, steel, and timber. Our residential designs frequently include decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, paving, water features, lighting, garden beds, fencing, irrigation systems, drainage, fire pits, and concrete rendering. We also specialise in rain-water catchment and conventional and underground water tanks.
4. Soft landscaping
Soft landscaping refers to the living elements of your design – soil, flowering plants, shrubs, and trees – plus ground coverings like bark or turf, both natural and synthetic. We follow the best horticultural practices to bed plants, ensuring they align with your design while offering privacy, shelter, colour and diversity year-round.

At Great Spaces, we take pride in what we do and follow a thorough process for all projects. Whether you need a simple lawn, a quality design, residential landscaping, or something else, you can rest assured that our team will do a great job that produces results you love.
