Texture & Tone

This garden contained two distinct micro-climates.  The front garden was protected from winds and enjoyed a nice amount of afternoon shade.  The waterside garden where views were a priority, was exposed to southerly winds and afternoon sun.  Smart construction detailing using steel, copper, stone, concrete and timber enhance the finishes found on the house and deliver the earthy nature that the client enjoyed.  As usual with our gardens the right balance between hard and soft is key as are the plant selections to ensure success.

About the
Professional

We pride ourselves on providing a personal yet professional service, focused on clear communication and attention to detail; this is where we excel. Creating gardens is an organic process by nature, they take time from planning to completion and beyond; we never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with this collaboration and the trust that our clients have placed in us.

Listening first - Creating second

Our clients are diverse, unique, yet still like-minded, recognising the value in considered and well-resolved gardens. We have a common goal, and though it’s a journey we share, we are confident and experienced to take the lead. A process to reveal the requirements of our clients’ lifestyles, then create a considered balance between their brief, the architecture, and surrounds, whether it be in an urban context or more open or natural setting.

Our gardens are renowned for intelligent design solutions that celebrate our clients’ individuality, combining meticulous details and beautiful materials with unique and inspired planting combinations.

Your vision - Our creativity

Since 1994, Secret Gardens has been connecting clients with their outdoor environments. Over this period, we have built and maintained a reputation as a leader in the industry, across each of our disciplines.

Our team offers a wealth of experience and diverse skillsets. Our clients enjoy a holistic approach that offers the services of full-time landscape architects and designers, landscape construction specialists, and experienced horticulturists. We collaborate with an extended network of consultants and skilled contractors as required, to ensure our projects are delivered to the highest of industry standards. Complete project management, a turnkey solution providing total peace of mind.

Though our work is concentrated on the residential market in Sydney, our projects are varied not only in style and scale but location as well, reaching beyond our core local market, spanning both regional and interstate locations. We embrace the unconventional and the challenging, be it courtyard gardens, rooftop gardens, or more extensive landscapes including acreage.
