About 28 Landscapes
Listen. Design. Create. Build.
With over 20 years in the landscaping industry, I’ve gained extensive experience across diverse projects and locations. 2 years with Kew Gardens, London, England, working with the local stone and ornate garden designs of the small London properties, 5 years in Wellington, New Zealand, specialising in pools, decks, and gardens, 13 years in Perth, working with some of the largest residential landscaping firms, progressing from installation to project management and design management. During this journey, I recognised a gap in the market — a space between the large-scale landscaping operators and smaller boutique design only firms. I saw an opportunity to offer highly tailored outdoor experiences that merge design, and the element of project management of the install all with a personal touch. We collaborate with local artists and craftspeople whenever possible, integrating elements such as murals, sculptures, and bespoke lighting to elevate each space. For us, a garden is far more than just the outside of a house — it’s an extension of your lifestyle. In today’s fast-paced world, time outdoors is a luxury. Our mission is to design and create outdoor sanctuaries — spaces where you can relax, recharge, and connect with friends and family, making lasting memories.
Our mission is to create the stage for your outdoor living lifestyle.
What we think a garden should be?
It is a celebration of a human connection with the outdoors. A garden is a planned space, typically outdoors, used for cultivating and enjoying plants, flowers, and other elements of nature. It can be as simple as a small patch of flowers or as complex as a meticulously designed landscape. Gardens can be for recreation, food production, or simply aesthetic enjoyment.
Outdoor Space:
In Perth a garden usually means:
- Patios a undercover space for the purpose of sitting and relaxing in the natural environment without having to be fully emersed in the outdoors.
- Pools also play a large part in Perth's lifestyles when getting to the beach and river is not always possible during the busy week.
- BBQing and alfresco dinning is another way we celebrate the great climate on offer here as well.
- Lawns for the kids and or Pets.
Cultivation:
Gardens are designed for growing plants, whether for food (vegetables, fruits, herbs), flowers for beauty, or other purposes.
Purpose:
They serve a variety of purposes, including:
- Food production: Growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs for personal consumption or sale.
- Ornamental purposes: Cultivating flowers and decorative plants for aesthetic appeal.
- Recreation: Providing a space for relaxation, leisure, and enjoyment of nature.
- Habitat: Offering a place for wildlife, such as birds, and insects
Design: We Listen. We Design. We Build.
Garden design is the process of creating plans for the layout and planting of gardens and landscapes that are customised to the Client and the local environment. Professional garden designers tend to be trained in principles of design and horticulture, and have a knowledge and experience of using plants.

How Our Approach.
We Listen.
- Get in touch!
- Inspos and any must haves it great to have to get started.
- It's best to talk over the phone if possible so we can talk through your project. Maybe a little back and forth via emails too!
- We can then arrange a meeting on site.
- At the meeting we will dive into the main scope of works and discuss ideas.Usually the meeting is around an hour.
- We Design.
- At the end of the meeting we will present a design proposal to design your back/front yard. Cost wise it really depends on the complexity of the project.
- Further site visits and phone conversations on some finer details are usually part of the design process.
We Build.
- On completion of the design we will catchup again to present your designs and a detailed construction quote on installation so we can make the plans into reality.
There's a lot more to the process but
I think this gives a good heads start on how we like to work.
