Passionate horticulturists and designers shaping beautiful Brisbane outdoor spaces since 2010.
We are a team of passionate horticulturists and designers that started tending to plants and outdoor spaces as Greater Brisbane Gardens in 2010 — although our gardening roots run much deeper than that. We love every aspect of designing, maintaining and building outdoor spaces. Green space is integral to our health and well-being, and we believe nurturing these spaces is just as important as eating well and keeping fit. The team is constantly researching design trends, attending garden and landscape expos and reading literature to stay up to date, blending new plants and products with our own style to create something beautiful, engaging and long-lasting. We wholeheartedly believe in an organic approach, just as nature intended — practising biological control by planting beneficial plants and encouraging biodiversity throughout our gardens.

Friendly, high-quality service at an affordable price — we treat every property as if it were our own, and leave each site clean and tidy.
A few words from clients whose gardens we have had the pleasure of transforming.
I was so pleased with the total front garden makeover — design, garden beds, edging, paving, turf and planting — that I got the team back to do the back yard as well. Great at understanding requirements and providing advice, the work is high quality, and the site is left clean and tidy. Quality work by a friendly team!
We asked for a simple front yard, mostly turf. Thankfully Alister came up with a low-maintenance but beautiful space that has transformed our house and given us something beyond our wildest dreams. A wonderful process delivered by such a professional and friendly team.
A trained horticulturalist, Alister is creative when it comes to designing a beautiful and functional garden — and he works within the homeowner's budget. It is always a pleasure to see Alister and his crew arrive, because I know the garden and lawn will look great when they leave.
Al is exceptionally hard working and creative, and highly knowledgeable about making gardens beautiful and healthy. The crew did a great job of the garden clean-up, then mulched and added fabulous new native plants in strategic ways. Highly recommended.
