Decks and outdoor levels
Create a level sitting area beside the house, with steps connecting to the garden. The Dulwich Hill deck shows a raised doorway connected to a usable covered outdoor space.

Overview
Build the outdoor space you want to use
A covered deck for meals outside, a clear path to the side gate, lawn for play and beds for planting give each area a purpose. We plan the connections between them so doors, steps and changes of surface work comfortably.
Our Tempe makeover combined composite decking, a pergola, natural turf, built-in timber planters and poured concrete side paths. Levels, drainage and the order of construction were considered alongside the finished layout.
- Licensed and fully insured for the landscaping work undertaken
- Levels and falls set before laying surfaces
- Drainage directed away from house and boundaries
- Machinery chosen to suit side access
- Drainage built behind retaining walls
- Structure, surfaces and planting scoped together
What the work covers
What the construction covers
Connected surfaces, garden levels and outdoor structures
Paths and paved areas
Plan routes to gates, storage and seating with a surface suited to walking or wheels. Concrete, paving and stepping stones offer different finishes and connections.
Lawn and garden beds
Define open lawn and planted areas together, with suitable soil preparation and clear edges. The lawn variety and planting depend on sunlight, use and care.
Built-in garden features
Planters and built-in seating can define an outdoor area while leaving useful open space. Soil depth, drainage and access to planting are included in the layout.
Garden retaining and steps
Where levels need to be held or connected, assess the ground, loads and adjacent structures before choosing the wall or step design. Large engineered retaining structures are outside our garden-scale scope.
Connections and drainage
Doorways, steps, paths and garden edges need compatible levels. Surface falls and suitable drainage are planned with the construction, including existing features that remain.

How it works
How the build runs
From the site visit through to the planting and detail work
- 01
Site visit and scope
We measure the site and look at the access, the levels and where the water currently goes, then work out what the project would actually involve.
- 02
Materials and scope
Selections are settled against the site: what the access will take, what suits the house, and what the levels and drainage already commit you to.
- 03
Structure
Clearing, excavation, drainage, retaining and hard surfaces. This is the part that is difficult to reach again once a finished surface is over it.
- 04
Planting and detail
Turf, planting and the detail work go in once the ground beneath them has been prepared and the levels are settled.

Common questions
Landscape construction questions
What homeowners ask before a build starts
Does the old garden have to come out first?
No. Sound paving, established trees and useful structures can often remain. We identify what needs replacing and what can be retained as part of the proposed layout.
Can you build from my designer’s plans?
Yes. The drawings get read for buildability, levels and access first, because a plan that works on paper can still run into a side passage or a fall nobody measured. Anything difficult is better raised early than mid-build.
What happens if it rains during the build?
Some work continues in light rain and some does not. Concrete, turf and anything relying on a compacted base need the right conditions, so weather moves dates on most landscaping projects.
Do I need council approval?
It depends on what is being built, how high it is and where it sits relative to boundaries and structures. Approval and engineering requirements come from your council and the relevant standards, so the current requirements for your address are worth confirming with the council rather than assumed from a rule of thumb.
