Do you offer both landscape design and landscape architecture?
Yes. Inspired Exteriors brings together the complementary disciplines of landscape design and landscape architecture under one roof. Our founders include a qualified landscape architect and a professional landscape designer & horticulturist, giving us the expertise to handle projects of varying scale and complexity. Whether you are seeking a considered garden design for a compact Sydney residence or a large-scale project requiring landscape architecture documentation and DA approval, our team is equipped to guide you through every stage with clarity and care.
Why choose Inspired Exteriors as your landscape designer in Sydney?
Inspired Exteriors has spent over a decade earning a reputation as one of Sydney’s most trusted and awarded landscape design firms. We are proud recipients of a number of TLA Awards, Master Landscapers of NSW Awards, and international recognition, reflecting our commitment to design excellence across every project we take on. What distinguishes us, however, is our deeply personal approach and our attention to detail. We take the time to understand how you live, how you want to use with your outdoor space, and what will make it feel entirely your own. From the initial design consultation through to project completion, you work directly with our experienced team of designers and landscape architects.
Do you work with landscapers during construction?
Yes, and this is where our service offering goes beyond design alone. Following the concept and/or DA stage, Inspired Exteriors provides full construction documentation and specifications, project tendering, and ongoing project management and liaison services. We work with a carefully curated network of trusted contractors, installers, suppliers, fabricators, and artisans who share our standards for quality and craftsmanship. Clients benefit from our long-standing relationships with some of the best landscapers in Sydney, without the burden of sourcing or coordinating trades independently.
Can Inspired Exteriors help with backyard landscaping in Sydney?
Absolutely. Backyard landscaping in Sydney is one of our core specialties, and it is where thoughtful design can have the most transformative impact on how a family lives. Whether you have a compact courtyard in the Eastern Suburbs or a generous garden in Sydney’s surrounds, we approach every backyard design with the same level of care and detail as our larger-scale projects. Each solution is bespoke, with considered planting selections, cohesive material palettes, and outdoor living concepts that integrate with your home’s architecture and your site’s microclimate.
What is included in your landscape design process?
Our landscape design process is thorough, collaborative, and structured around your brief from the very beginning. It starts with an initial consultation and detailed site analysis, followed by concept development where we explore design directions tailored to your goals, budget, and site conditions. From there, we progress through detailed garden landscape design, planting selection, material selection, and, where required, full landscape DA documentation. Following concept approval, we also offer construction documentation and specifications, project tendering, and project management to ensure your landscape is built exactly as designed. Every stage is meticulously considered to deliver a result that performs as beautifully as it looks.
How long does a landscape design project take?
Design timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. As a general guide, concept design and DA documentation typically take four to six weeks from commencement to completion, though this can be influenced by factors such as site complexity and size, scope inclusions, council requirements, and the involvement of additional consultants. More involved landscape architecture projects may require additional time at the planning stage. Following design sign-off, construction and installation timelines depend on contractor availability, site conditions, and project scale. We provide clear timeline guidance at the outset so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of the process.
How much does landscaping cost in Sydney?
Landscape design and construction costs in Sydney vary considerably, and there is no single answer that applies to every project. Key factors that influence cost include the size and complexity of the design brief, site conditions and access, material and finishes selections, and the full scope of services required, from concept design through to construction documentation and project management. A boutique courtyard will naturally carry a different investment to a large-scale residential landscape with bespoke construction elements. During your initial landscape consultation, we take the time to understand your vision and budget, and provide honest guidance on what is achievable and where your investment will have the greatest impact.
Do you design landscapes suited to Australian conditions?
Every landscape design we produce is grounded in a thorough understanding of Australian conditions and, more specifically, the individual microclimate of each site. We prioritise climate-resilient design principles, selecting plants and materials that are appropriate to local conditions and built to endure long-term with minimal intervention. Low-maintenance landscapes, considered planting selections, and species chosen for each site’s unique microclimate are central to our design philosophy. The result is a garden that continues to look and perform beautifully well beyond the day it is completed.
How do I get started with Inspired Exteriors?
The first step is simply reaching out. You can contact our team by phone, email, or via our online enquiry form to arrange an initial consultation.

We work with clients across Sydney and Australia-wide, and we would love to hear about your project.
