Your outdoor space, designed and built by one team

From first sketch to finished garden - Zones handles the entire landscape design and build process for Ryde and Parramatta homeowners. No handoffs between a designer and a separate builder. One team, one project, one point of contact.

Most people hire a designer, then find a builder. That's where things go wrong.

You spend money on a beautiful plan, then discover no builder can do it within your budget. Or the builder interprets the design differently to what you and the designer discussed. Or you're left managing two separate contracts, two separate timelines and two separate sets of excuses.

We do the design and the build ourselves. What gets drawn is what gets built, at the price agreed from the start.

The old way: separate designer & builder:

‍Two contracts, two timeframes, budget miscommunications and design intent lost in translation. Common result: a plan that can't be built for what you actually wanted to spend.

The Zones way: design and build together:

‍Your designer works directly with your construction team. The plan reflects real costs from day one. You deal with one company, one quote and one team throughout.

Designed specifically for your block: Every design is drawn from scratch for your property - orientation, drainage, soil, council setbacks and how you actually use outdoor space. Not a template with your address on it.

Fixed price before a shovel moves: You receive a full fixed-price quote based on the agreed design. No scope creep, no surprise invoices at the end of the build.

Complete outdoor spaces, or specific structures, we do both

Whether you want a full backyard redesign from scratch or a single well-designed structure added to your existing garden, our design and build service covers it all under one roof.

Full landscape design & construction

‍Complete outdoor transformations - layout, levels, structures, planting and finishes. Designed from scratch for your block and built by the same team who drew it.

Garden design & planting

‍Planting plans, garden bed design, turf, irrigation and ongoing maintenance planning. Species selected for Sydney's climate and your specific block conditions.

Decks & outdoor living

‍Designed as part of your overall landscape or as a standalone project. Timber and composite decking, with or without an integrated pergola or shade structure.

Pergolas & alfresco areas

‍Custom pergola design to suit your home's architecture and your outdoor lifestyle. Covered entertaining areas, louvred roofs and alfresco builds handled start to finish.

Retaining walls

‍Engineered design for sloped Sydney blocks. Sandstone, concrete block and timber options designed to work with your garden layout, not against it.

Outdoor kitchens & entertaining

‍Alfresco kitchen and entertaining area design and construction - benchtops, cabinetry, barbecue stations, lighting and connection to your home's indoor flow.
