Considering a major transformation of your outdoor space? You may know your current backyard is not working, but be less certain about the right combination of features, what will work on your property, or what your investment can realistically achieve.

You might be considering a pool, outdoor kitchen, deck, pergola, retaining work or a complete redesign. Rather than treating each feature as a separate project, we look at how everything should work together.

By understanding how you want to live, entertain and use the property, we can establish the right direction before detailed design or construction begins.

Start with a Free On-Site Consultation

We’ll begin with a short project-fit call. If your project appears suitable, Leah will meet you on site for 30–60 minutes to understand your goals, review the property and discuss the likely scope.

Where your project requires concept development, site investigation or preliminary feasibility work, we’ll recommend a paid Planning & Feasibility stage and provide a clear proposal before any work begins.

The complimentary consultation helps establish the project direction; detailed concepts, measured plans and feasibility work are completed during the paid planning stage.

Turn Your Ideas Into a Clear Project Direction

For larger or more complex projects, the next step is a tailored Planning & Feasibility stage. This gives you the clarity needed to move confidently into detailed design and construction.

• Site opportunities and constraints
• Lifestyle and functional requirements
• Initial layout and concept direction
• Buildability, access, drainage and levels
• Preliminary construction-investment guidance
• Project priorities and potential staging
• Recommended next steps

What you're getting here isn't simply a drawing - it's decision clarity before you commit to a significant construction investment.

Is This Service Right for You?

This service is designed for homeowners considering a substantial outdoor project rather than a single small landscaping job.

• A complete backyard or multi-area transformation
• A pool, spa, outdoor kitchen or covered entertaining area
• Several elements that need to work together
• A project that may be delivered in stages
• A significant investment where early planning matters

This service isn't intended for minor maintenance, hedge trimming, lawn repair or a single small trade job.

Leah and her Zones Landscaping Specialists team did an excellent job transforming our yard. They repaired our failing retaining wall, re-fenced the entire yard, and levelled our sloping lawn into a beautiful, usable outdoor space.The team was flexible, communicated clearly throughout, and executed the work promptly and professionally. We are very happy with the result and would highly recommend Leah and the Zones Landscaping Specialists team! - Peter Wanyonyi

We had no idea how to use our outdoor space and felt quite overwhelmed at the start.Leah helped us rethink the whole layout, which made a huge difference. Everything now flows so much better and just makes sense.We actually use the space a lot now, which we never did before. - Yiyi
