Landscaping Features with Purpose
Landscaping doesn’t have to mean a big dig-out and a weekend of sore backs. A few key features — retaining edges, steps, timber walkways, vertical screening — can bring shape and flow without blowing the budget. We focus on practical builds that hold up to weather, foot traffic and hose-offs, using materials that work with your space, not against it.
We’ll work around what you already have in place or help guide new additions so everything feels connected. It’s a step up from DIY but still keeps the charm of something thoughtful and hand-built. Great landscaping carpentry doesn’t scream for attention — it blends in, quietly doing its job.
Useful Style
Built-In Seating, Steps & Privacy
Tired of dragging out fold-out chairs or staring at that awkward corner with nothing going on? Built-in timber features can change how you use your backyard. We create long benches, stepped transitions, framed garden beds and private nooks that feel like they were always meant to be there. It’s about working with your space — not forcing it to match a catalogue.
Every piece is anchored, sealed and finished to last, using materials that look better as they age. The best part? These outdoor touches don’t just make things prettier — they make your space more comfortable, functional and lived-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is landscaping carpentry?
Landscaping carpentry refers to timber construction in outdoor spaces — everything from decking and steps to privacy screens, planter boxes, benches and retaining frames. These structures help define, organise and enhance garden layouts while offering function and durability. Unlike soft landscaping (plants, mulch), this involves structural builds suited to weather and wear.
What timber is best for outdoor use?
Hardwoods like spotted gum, blackbutt and ironbark are excellent for outdoor use thanks to their durability and resistance to termites and moisture. Treated pine is a budget-friendly option but may require more upkeep. All outdoor timber should be sealed, oiled or painted and paired with weatherproof fixings to ensure long-term use.
Do I need council approval for outdoor carpentry?
Most small structures like benches, planter boxes or screens don’t require approval, but larger features — like elevated platforms or anything near a boundary — might. Council requirements vary, so it’s best to check if you’re adding anything structural, especially in bushfire zones or sloped areas. Builders can help guide this process if needed.
