Garden designs on the Bellarine Peninsula

Garden designs on the Bellarine Peninsula should respond to the property, local conditions and how the garden will be used. CMS Landscaping provides garden design services for residential properties, planning garden beds, lawns, planting, pathways, vegetable gardens and their connection with structural landscape features. Our garden designers work with clients across the Bellarine Peninsula, with projects also extending into Geelong, the Surf Coast and Southwest District.

Landscape garden design for your property

A landscape garden design establishes where planting, lawns, pathways and garden areas will sit in relation to the home and other outdoor features. Existing levels, access, sunlight, available space and the intended use of the garden can all influence the layout.

Garden design services for new and established Bellarine Peninsula properties

Our garden design services can be used for a new property or to reconsider an established outdoor space.

Plant selection is an important part of garden designs because different areas of a property can present different growing conditions. CMS Landscaping can select plants suited to the home environment and position them as part of the overall garden layout.

Residential landscape design considers how garden areas relate to the rest of the property. A garden may need to connect with a deck, pergola, pool, driveway, courtyard or entertaining area rather than function as an isolated part of the backyard.

As experienced garden landscapers, we can also take the project from design into construction, reducing the separation between the plan and the finished landscape.

FAQs
When is the best time to plan a new garden?

Ideally, the garden should be planned before major landscaping work begins. This allows garden beds, pathways, irrigation, lawns and structural features to be positioned as part of one design rather than added separately later.

Can a garden design retain existing plants and features?

Yes. Existing plants and landscape features can be considered during the design process where they are suitable to retain. The new layout can then be developed around those elements.

How do you plan a garden for different conditions around the property?

Different areas can vary in sunlight, exposure, available space and surrounding structures. These conditions can be considered when developing the planting design and determining where different garden areas should be positioned.

Can a vegetable garden be included in the design?

Yes. Vegetable gardens can be incorporated into garden designs and planned alongside pathways, garden beds and irrigation. Their location can be considered in relation to access, available space and the rest of the garden.

Can the garden design be constructed in stages?

Depending on the project, a garden may be planned as a complete design while construction is approached in stages. Establishing the overall layout first helps ensure later works remain consistent with the intended landscape.
