The Oak Grove Landscape Team has designed four beautiful gardens and, after you have met the special conditions, the chosen garden will be installed when your home is completed.
Whether you are looking for something low-maintenance, a garden of more contemporary style or one that represents Australia’s native landscape, we have a design to match your new home and your lifestyle.
Formal Garden
Neatly arranged hedges, blocks of flowering species and a classic, lowmaintenance design, the Formal Garden provides a geometric and structured planting arrangement that will provide happiness for those looking for ‘order’ within their garden
Native Garden
Referencing endemic and indigenous species, the informal Native Garden exudes a relaxed and effortless space. Seasonal native flowering species attract local birdlife, while permeable gravel paths ensure a low-maintenance and water-sensitive garden.
Sensory Garden
Seasonal interest, tactile forms, bold colours, and scents of lemon and lavender will engage and hold your interest in the Sensory Garden. A central granitic path with steppers leads you through this delicately curated and therapeutic garden, serving as your own private calming space.
Kitchen Garden
Boasting a varied and versatile array of edible plants and fruits, the Kitchen Garden will prove to be a reliable and sustainable addition to your home. Be it homegrown apples, fresh mint or fragrant bay leaves, the Kitchen Garden will complement any menu
