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.

Incorporating Native Plants and Sustainable Practices

Live Outdoors  are passionate about creating landscapes that reflect the natural beauty of Brisbane while promoting sustainability. Incorporating native plants into your garden is a key part of this approach, as they are naturally suited to Brisbane’s subtropical climate and require minimal maintenance. Native plants like Grevillea, Kangaroo Paw, and Lilly Pilly thrive in local conditions, offering drought resistance and resilience against pests and diseases. By using native flora, your garden becomes more eco-friendly, reducing the need for excess water, fertilisers, and pesticides.

Beyond plant selection, we integrate sustainable practices into every project. Water conservation is essential, so we design efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation, that minimise water waste. Incorporating rainwater harvesting systems further reduces reliance on municipal water, allowing you to make the most of Brisbane’s seasonal rainfall. We also use organic soil treatments and composting methods to improve soil health naturally.

Our sustainable hardscaping solutions include permeable paving, recycled materials, and natural stone, ensuring that your outdoor space is both beautiful and environmentally responsible. By combining native plants with these eco-conscious practices, Live Outdoors creates gardens that are not only stunning but also contribute to a healthier environment, supporting biodiversity and sustainability in Brisbane’s urban landscape.

Ongoing Maintenance to Keep Your Brisbane Garden Thriving

Keeping your Brisbane garden thriving requires ongoing maintenance, and at Live Outdoors, we understand how crucial regular care is to ensure your landscape stays healthy and vibrant. Brisbane’s subtropical climate presents unique challenges, with periods of heavy rain followed by dry spells, making consistent attention to your garden’s needs essential.

Proper watering is key, and installing efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation or smart controllers, helps manage water use, especially during dry seasons. Regular pruning and trimming of plants prevent overgrowth, encourage healthy development, and enhance the overall appearance of your garden. Native plants, which are naturally adapted to Brisbane’s environment, often require less maintenance, but they still benefit from occasional care, such as mulching and fertilisation, to boost their health.

We also recommend regularly checking soil health, especially after heavy rains, to ensure good drainage and prevent root rot. Mulching garden beds not only helps retain moisture but also suppresses weeds and improves soil structure. Keeping your hardscaping features, like pathways and retaining walls, clean and in good condition is another aspect of maintaining a functional outdoor space.

At Live Outdoors, we provide professional maintenance services tailored to Brisbane’s unique conditions, ensuring your garden remains beautiful and healthy throughout every season.
