Landscape Design for Canberra – Beautiful, Restful Outdoor Spaces

Your gardens should be personal sanctuaries—spaces that restore, uplift, and reconnect you with nature and yourself. GardenSpace designs thoughtful, personal spaces that respond to you and enrich your daily life and nourish the human spirit.

With over a decade of experience, GardenSpace has earned a reputation as one of Canberra’s leading landscape designers.

Specialising in residential garden transformations, we deliver outdoor spaces that have intent and purpose. GardenSpace designed gardens enrich your daily life through beauty, balance, and a connection to nature.

Whether you're after a peaceful courtyard, a family-friendly backyard, or a native garden that thrives in Canberra’s climate, as an experienced and skilled landscape designer, I can help you achieve a personal environment that is designed with intent.

Our process delivers spaces that weave beauty in the rhythm of your everyday life and are deeply personal.

Canberra Landscape Design with Purpose

To create a garden is to cultivate more than soil. It is an expression of who we are, what we cherish, and how we choose to live. Whether wild or formal, private or public, every garden begins with the same impulse: to make something beautiful, alive, and enduring in a noisy, ever-changing world.

It is these ideas that inspire GardenSpace and give the designs purpose.

For us, success isn’t measured by cost or complexity, but by how well your garden enhances your life. Our goal is to design spaces that bring joy and balance to your everyday experience. That allows you to relax, recharge, and replenish your spirit.

We work across Canberra and the region, offering creative design solutions for new builds, established homes, and multi-unit developments alike.
