Small to Medium Garden Makeovers
Sutherland Shire
A considered transformation for gardens that need more than a refresh — but still deserve to be designed thoughtfully, practically, and in harmony with how they’re actually used.
This service is ideal for small to medium gardens that feel disconnected, overgrown, under-planted, or no longer suited to the people living in them.
What This Service Is
A Small to Medium Garden Makeover involves reworking the structure, planting, and layout of an existing garden to improve how it functions, grows, and feels over time.
Rather than chasing instant results or cosmetic fixes, this service focuses on creating a garden that is:
-
easier to care for
-
healthier in the long term
-
better suited to your lifestyle
-
resilient without relying on chemicals
Makeovers are approached as living systems — not blank slates — with careful consideration given to soil, light, existing plants, and how the space is actually used day to day.
What’s Included
Depending on the needs of your garden, this service may include:
-
Assessment of the existing space and site conditions
-
Reworking garden layout and structure (within existing boundaries)
-
Removal or editing of unsuitable planting
-
New planting across multiple areas
-
Soil improvement and preparation
-
Plant selection based on long-term resilience and use
-
Hands-on planting and establishment
-
Guidance on caring for the garden moving forward
All work is carried out using pesticide-free, regenerative practices, with an emphasis on building healthy soil and resilient plant systems.

A Note on Approach
Every garden is different. I work with what’s already there, taking into account how you live, how the space is used, and what will realistically work long term.
The result is a space that feels natural, practical, and genuinely suited to the people using it.
