What Our Clients Say

Dave was amazing to deal with. he listened to my requirements and came up with an amazing design that was just perfect for the space I had for my garden. I am extremely pleased with the results and can recommend Dave and the team at Live Outdoors.

I just wanted to thank you for your work, I couldn’t be happier with the result and have already had my friends over for a BBQ to show off my stunning new garden. I wake up every morning and look outside at my garden which makes me feel peaceful.

I was looking for a way to grow my own fruit and vegetables, but didn’t think it was possible with the space I had available. Dave was able to show me how to achieve my goals and it is truly amazing to be able to grow a portion of my own food at home.

Sustainable Solutions for Low-Maintenance Commercial Gardens

Designing sustainable solutions for low-maintenance commercial gardens involves creating efficient, eco-friendly landscapes that require minimal upkeep while maximising environmental benefits. Live Outdoors excels in delivering such solutions for Brisbane’s commercial properties, ensuring that your outdoor spaces are both attractive and practical.

Our approach focuses on integrating drought-tolerant plants and native species that thrive in Brisbane’s climate with minimal watering. These plants are not only resilient but also contribute to biodiversity, providing habitat for local wildlife. To further enhance sustainability, we implement water-efficient irrigation systems such as drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting, reducing water waste and lowering utility costs.

Incorporating sustainable materials into hardscaping is another key aspect. We use permeable paving, recycled materials, and natural stone to create durable surfaces that manage stormwater effectively and minimise environmental impact. Mulching and composting practices help maintain soil health, suppress weeds, and reduce the need for chemical fertilisers.

By focusing on these sustainable practices, Live Outdoors ensures that your commercial garden remains low-maintenance and eco-friendly. Our designs are crafted to be both functional and visually appealing, helping you achieve a green, attractive space with minimal ongoing effort and reduced environmental footprint.

Hardscaping and Greenery: Balancing Functionality and Aesthetics

Balancing hardscaping and greenery is essential for creating outdoor spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. Live Outdoors specialises in integrating these elements seamlessly to enhance Brisbane’s commercial and residential landscapes.

Hardscaping features such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls provide essential structure and functionality to outdoor areas. These elements create practical pathways, outdoor living spaces, and erosion control while adding durability and style. Choosing the right materials—like natural stone, concrete, or permeable pavers—ensures that hardscaping complements the surrounding environment and supports sustainable practices.

Greenery, on the other hand, introduces life and vibrancy into the landscape. By selecting a mix of native and low-maintenance plants, we enhance the visual appeal and ecological value of the garden. Plants like ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, and ground covers soften hard edges, add colour, and improve air quality. Integrating green walls and vertical gardens can also maximise space in smaller areas, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.

The key is to create a harmonious balance where hardscaping and greenery support each other. Live Outdoors carefully designs each element to complement and enhance the other, ensuring that your outdoor space is both practical and beautiful, providing a cohesive and inviting environment.
