Landscape Design
Inspired by the land we call home, our landscape designs are guided by our three core principles: Harmony, Functionality and Sustainability.
The Australian native landscape is a place of extraordinary beauty and rugged charm. From the sun-drenched beaches to the sweeping plains and towering mountains, this land of contrasts is a source of endless inspiration and awe.
The silvery greens of the eucalyptus, the brilliant bouquets of wild flowers and the luscious palm spotted coastlines all contrast and combine to create a true natural masterpiece.
Beyond its aesthetic beauty, the Australian landscape is also a symbol of resilience and endurance. From the harsh conditions of the outback, where the heat is intense and the rains are rare, to the dense tropical rainforests bursting with growth and life.
At Afforest Group, we draw on the natural beauty of the Australian landscape to design outdoor spaces that reflect its unique character. By harnessing the power and poetry of this remarkable land, we create spaces that are both visually stunning and environmentally sustainable. We are inspired by the natural world around us, and we strive reflect our deep respect for the Australian landscape in everything we do.

The Design Process.
Meet \
Connect with us and lets discuss your project.
We can chat over the phone, email or facetime to give us both a chance to introduce ourselves and see if we are a good fit for eachother.
Plan \
Now that we’re practically family, your design is as good as done. Based on our mutal vision, we will present your final landscape design in both 2D plans and 3D renders ready for action.
Define \
Once we’ve gotten along famously and we have a clear understanding of your project and what you’re trying to accomplish, we’ll arrange a site visit and take our relationship to the next level.
Build \
With your finalised design and approved plans, you can now choose to proceed by engaging us as the primary contractor to oversee the entire project from design through to finsihed build, or select a landscaper/tradespeople of your choice.
Remote \
We also offer our design services remotely, which means no site visit is necessary. We service Australia wide and international. Our remote design services are also a more economical option, especially valuable for smaller, less complex projects.
Softscaping

In addition to design and installation, we offer ongoing maintenance and care to ensure the continued health and beauty of your softscaping.

Elements Of Softscaping
Plant Selection \
Professional softscaping requires selection of plant species that are well-suited to the specific environmental conditions of the landscape. The selected plants must be able to thrive in the soil type, sun exposure, and moisture levels of the area to ensure they grow healthily and provide long-lasting beauty. One of the biggest reasons for a failed landscape design is improper plant selection.
Plant selection is crucial for the overall aesthetic of the softscaping design. The chosen plants must complement each other and the surrounding landscape, providing visual interest and color that blends seamlessly with the rest of the outdoor space.
The Process \
Contact us to discuss your project and needs.
We offer no obligation quotations and can manage the project from the design phase through to the plant sourcing and installation.
Sustainability \
Sustainability in horticultural design involves designing landscapes and gardens that are not only visually appealing, but also environmentally friendly and capable of sustaining themselves over time. This involves choosing plant species that are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, using environmentally responsible gardening practices, minimizing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and incorporating elements such as rainwater tanks and composting to reduce waste and conserve resources. By incorporating sustainability into horticultural design, we can create beautiful outdoor spaces that not only enhance our quality of life but also contribute to the health and well-being of the environment.
