Working with a landscape professional is the best way to achieve your dream garden but the process will go more smoothly if you do a bit of research of your own before you engage a designer. In our special “Gardens by design” feature, we take you through all the steps in designing a garden so you will have a better idea of what you want and need before you engage a landscape professional and they’re “on the clock”. Australia has no shortage of landscape designers and contractors capable of transforming the smallest urban site into a lifestyle oasis to taming a steep slope or a rambling estate. In our Designer Landscapes and Meet the Designers sections, we introduce you to some of this country’s finest landscaping professionals and provide a tantalising taste of the diverse gardens they produce. And for those with a pet pooch, we show you how to design a dog-friendly garden.
