Native Garden Designers

Melbourne's weather, with its mix of dry summers and heavy rains, makes native landscape design the ideal choice.

Native plants like Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Carex grass, Lomandra, Bottlebrush, and Kangaroo Paw are well-suited to the city’s conditions, thriving in a range of soil types, including clay soils.


Native gardens are not only beautiful but also sustainable.


Native garden designs require less water and maintenance. They support local wildlife, creating habitats for species like the Murray Wanderer butterfly.


At Bespoke Landscapes, we focus on designs that work in unison with nature while elevating your home’s aesthetic.

2. Beautiful Australian Native Plants

Selecting the right plants is crucial in native designer landscapes. Bespoke are your premier native landscape construction professionals.


We focus on using Aussie native, low-maintenance plants that thrive in Melbourne’s conditions. Native species like Austromyrtus, Angophora, and Grass Trees add texture and beauty while requiring minimal upkeep.


We’ve transformed backyards into lush, natural sanctuaries filled with vibrant native plants. Whether you're looking for a relaxing front garden or a low-maintenance backyard, we help generate garden ideas that we turn into concept designs.


Matching your unique lifestyle and taste.

Our Favourite Native Plants:


  • Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos) – Known for its velvety, claw-shaped flowers, Kangaroo Paw adds a vibrant splash of red, yellow, or green to any garden, and it’s great for attracting birds.
  • Bottlebrush (Callistemon) – With its striking, brush-like red flowers, the Bottlebrush is not only a standout feature but also a magnet for bees and birds.
  • Waratah (Telopea) – The Waratah’s bold, red blooms make it a symbol of strength and beauty, perfect for adding drama to your outdoor space.
  • Grevillea (Grevillea spp.) – A tough, low-maintenance shrub with delicate, spider-like flowers, Grevillea is loved by nectar-feeding birds and brings life to any garden.
  • Banksia (Banksia spp.) – Famous for its cylindrical flower spikes and woody cones, Banksia is an iconic Aussie native that thrives in sandy soils and coastal areas.
  • Wattle (Acacia spp.) – Australia’s national floral emblem, Wattle, blooms with bright yellow pom-pom flowers, bringing a cheerful burst of colour in spring.
  • Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) – These majestic trees are synonymous with the Australian landscape, offering aromatic leaves and shelter for koalas.
  • Hardenbergia (Hardenbergia violacea) – Known as the ‘Happy Wanderer’, this climbing plant boasts stunning purple pea-flowers that are perfect for covering fences or trellises.


These plants not only thrive in Melbourne conditions but also offer a unique low fuss beauty to any garden setting.


3.  Landscape Designer Hardscapes

A well-designed landscape is more than just plants. We incorporate hardscaping elements like timber sleepers and natural stone to create functional, stylish features that complement your garden’s natural beauty.


From pathways to play structures, our designs balance aesthetics with practicality.


We ensure that all surface finishes are durable and visually pleasing, whether you’re looking for sleek, contemporary lines or a more rustic, natural feel.


With every project, we focus on creating a garden that enhances your lifestyle and reflects your personal taste.

Popular Hardscape Elements

  • Timber Batten Screening: For added privacy and a natural look. Not only does it create a sense of enclosure, but it also allows sunlight to filter through, casting dappled shadows across your garden.
  • Bluestone Stepper Pathways: Winding pathways made from bluestone steppers offer a stylish and durable way to navigate through your garden beds. These pathways can add a sense of mystery and flow to your native landscape design.
  • Retaining Walls with Timber Sleepers: Retaining walls made from timber sleepers provide support for sloped areas while adding rustic charm. They’re ideal for creating terraced garden beds, giving you the freedom to showcase different plant layers and textures. Steel sleepers are a common swap for timber and provide resilience and grit.
  • Raised Vegetable Planters: Growing your own vegetables has never been easier with raised planters made from concrete or timber sleepers. These planters not only add a practical, productive element to your garden but also contribute a visual anchor to the space. Raised planters are perfect for creating defined garden zones, allowing you to incorporate edible plants alongside natives.
  • Surface Finishes for Patios and Entertaining Areas: We offer a variety of surface finishes to suit your style, from natural stone to polished concrete. These areas become the perfect space for entertaining, allowing you to enjoy Melbourne’s lush summers with friends and family.

Pond Specialists: Sustainable Ecosystems with Native Landscaping

At Bespoke Landscapes, we focus on creating sustainable ecosystems within your garden. By using native plants and integrating water features like ponds and rainwater systems, we add to your gardens resilience in Melbourne's weather conditions.


Native plants are naturally suited to local soil types and are more resistant to pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments and making them a natural habitat creation.

Native Plant Design Misconceptions

People often shy away from using native plants in their gardens, assuming they’ll look too “scrubby” or unkempt. However, native plants can suit any garden style and bring a lot of beauty and value to your space.


For a soft and whimsical look, Australian wildflowers such as Guichenotia, Tetratheca, Pycnosorus, Scaveola, and Xerochrysum are perfect for creating a cottage garden vibe, full of colour and charm.


If you prefer a more formal garden style, there are plenty of native options that can be shaped and pruned into tidy hedges or screening plants. Correa alba and Ficus hillii, for example, are excellent choices that can be topiaried to create neat lines, bringing structure and sophistication to your space.


Native plants also cater to diverse themes:


  • For a lush rainforest garden, native ferns add a vibrant, green backdrop that thrives in shaded areas.
  • If you lean towards a modern garden style, you can incorporate sculptural plants like grass trees or Kangaroo Paw to add clean lines and interesting shapes.
  • For arid or drought-tolerant gardens, hardy natives like Acacia and Eremophila are both beautiful and resilient, perfectly suited to withstand Melbourne’s dry spells.


Blending Natives With Meditteranean

Many of our designs at Bespoke Landscapes bring together native plants with Mediterranean varieties, as both thrive in similar climates.

These plants, which we affectionately call “friends of natives,” share the hardy, drought-tolerant qualities of our local flora while adding diversity and flair to your garden.


For example, Lavender, Rosemary, and Olive trees pair beautifully with natives like Grevillea and Banksia.

Together, they create a low-maintenance garden that’s full of texture, colour, and resilience.

Not only do these plants look fantastic together, but they also support local ecosystems by attracting beneficial insects and providing food and habitat for wildlife.


By blending native and Mediterranean plants, you can enjoy a beautiful, diverse garden that’s easy to care for and well-suited to Melbourne’s unique conditions. Whether you’re after a rustic, sprawling garden or a sleek, minimalist design, these hardy plants can bring your vision to life while ensuring your garden stays vibrant with minimal effort.

Edible Natives

Edible natives can bring exciting flavours and culinary possibilities to your garden, while also supporting local biodiversity.

Strawberry gum and lemon myrtle are fantastic for tea, offering fragrant leaves that add a unique twist to your favourite brews.

For a sweet and tangy alternative to blueberries, try growing midyim berries, which are small, juicy, and bursting with flavour.

Finger lime is another popular choice, known for its vibrant green or pink "caviar" pulp – perfect for garnishing dishes or adding a zesty citrus note to your cooking. With its sweet, jelly-like fruit, Pigface offers a refreshing treat straight from the garden, and native violet produces beautiful edible flowers that can be used to decorate salads, desserts, or even cocktails.

These edible natives are not only delicious but also bring a touch of Australia’s culinary heritage into your backyard, making your garden both beautiful and bountiful.

    Not at all! While native plants are a fantastic choice for a low-maintenance and eco-friendly garden, we often incorporate Mediterranean plants, which thrive in similar climates. This blend of native and climate-compatible plants creates a resilient, diverse garden that’s easy to care for and brings out a unique mix of textures and colours.

    Hardscape elements like bluestone stepper pathways raised planters made from concrete or timber sleepers, and timber batten screening complement native gardens beautifully.

We design our hardscape elements to seamlessly blend with the native plants, enhancing the overall flow and appeal of your outdoor space.
