Is your garden project seriously overwhelming?

  • You have problem areas that stump you…
  • You have no idea where to start…
  • Everything you’ve tried so far, from quick fixes to planting, doesn’t work.

Perhaps you’ve done the sums and getting the professionals in to build the garden just isn’t in the budget. You might be tempted to pull up your sleeves and get stuck in…

Stop. 

Don’t start building the first thing that comes to mind. 

Poor planning results in…

…pulling out your hard work down the track when you realise it’s in the wrong place, uses an inappropriate material or wasn’t built the right way.

…wasting time and money on plants that either die, or take over and become a high-maintenance pests.

…missed opportunities. A designer can see the true potential of your site, so you can not only make your property more liveable, but add value as you go.

Welcome, I’m La.

I’m an award-winning landscape designer and self-confessed plant nerd. I love helping property owners in Melbourne’s Eastern & North-Eastern suburbs get crystal clear on what they are building before they make costly, and frustrating mistakes…
The DIY design process focusses on:
  • Providing clear direction for the whole property including the layout, aesthetic and material selection.
  • Selecting the right materials, based on your skills, aesthetic and site.
  • Defining the process to follow, tackling the project one zone at a time.
  • Creating a low-maintenance plant palette that will thrive in your sites unique conditions and provide year-round interest.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! We work with different material palettes and more achievable layouts to maximise our DIYers chance of success. 

This package cost is for blocks under 900m2, but we love designing larger gardens too. Organise a site visit with La and she can adjust the DREAM DIY Package to suit your block size.

Yes, for those that have upgraded to the detailed planting plan, we assist with plant orders. Once you’ve completed construction of a zone,  La Muxlow Gardens will confirm planting costs  and arrange appropriate substitutions where stock is unavailable.

Unfortunatley no. We suggest you hire accredited trades for any jobs you do not feel 100% comfortable in building.

We build gardens around Melbournes North-Eastern Suburbs covering:

Alphington, Arthurs Creek, Bulleen, Croydon North, Croydon Hills, Diamond Creek, Doncaster, Donvale, Eaglemont, Eltham, Greensborough, Heidelberg, Hurstbridge, Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe East, Kangaroo Ground, Lower Plenty, Lower Templestowe, Macleod, Montmorency, North Warrandyte, Nutfield, Park Orchards, Panton Hill, Plenty, Research, Rosanna, St Andrews, Templestowe, Viewbank, Warrandyte, Warranwood, Wattle Glen, Watsonia, Watsons Creek, Wonga Park, Yarrambat, Yarra Valley.

Please get in touch if your suburb is not listed here to discuss consultation options.

Concepts are usually delivered within 6-12 weeks depending on how busy the studio is.

This depends on what you’ll be changing in the home and how much area around the house will be affected during construction. Discuss your future renovation plans with La during your initial consultation and she can advise further.

Generally no, this approach isn’t cost effective so we tackle whole blocks, or zones like a back or a front garden.

Our budget concept design packages start from $4,490. All our packages provide crystal clear direction forward on the whole project. Our support and creative problem solving turns an overwhelming project into an exciting one, where our clients can really imagine what their lives will feel like with their new outdoor spaces.
