Landscaping in Black Rock.
Decks, terraces and coastal gardens for Black Rock homes, built to handle the wind, salt and slope, with a visual mockup of your own yard first.
- Built for coastal conditions
- Free visual mockup
- One team, start to finish
Outdoor living that makes the most of the bay.
Black Rock homes are about the position: sea breezes, big skies and bush running down to the water. The outdoor spaces that work best here give you somewhere sheltered to sit, a deck or terrace that catches the light, and planting that stands up to the wind without hiding the view.
We plan the whole space around how you want to use it and what the site throws at it. You see a mockup of your own yard first, then get an itemised proposal you can build all at once or in stages.

What we plan for in Black Rock.
Native vegetation rules
Black Rock is one of the areas covered by Council's native vegetation controls. Council's guidance says removing or lopping native vegetation there generally needs a planning permit, so we design around it from the start.
Slopes and terraces
Many blocks fall towards the bay. Terraces, steps and retaining walls turn the slope into usable space, and walls of 1 m or more generally need a building permit.
Wind and shelter
Coastal wind can make an exposed deck hard to use. We plan screens, pergolas and planting so you get shelter without losing the outlook.
Salt air
Close to the water we use stainless or hot dip galvanised fixings, decking suited to the coast, and finishes that hold up to salt.
Planned once, built properly.
Every Black Rock project is quoted stage by stage, so you can build it all at once or in steps and see exactly what's included before we start.

Four steps.
No surprises.
A simple process that shows you the finished result before we start, and keeps you in the loop until handover.
Site visit
We come out, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through how you want to use the space.
Visual mockup
We show you your own yard with the new design applied, so you can see it before you commit.
FreeItemised proposal
A clear, stage by stage price with what's included and what's not. Bundle stages together and save.
Build & handover
One team builds it start to finish, keeps the site clean, and walks you through the finished result.
It's been so refreshing to work with people who communicate well, turn up when they say they will, and go the extra mile without being asked.
