We create gardens
people want to live in.
Every Ben Scott Garden Design project is driven by our horticultural and design knowledge accumulated from 20 years industry experience.
We design every element of your outdoor space – from planted areas to pools – to form a harmonious sanctuary. Our expertise in construction standards and planning facilitates a seamless and hassle-free experience from the early design concept phase.

Gardens designed to
grow with you.
A Ben Scott garden is an ever-evolving space to gather, play, and relax.
​
By integrating various scales, functions, and aesthetics, our gardens are able to be enjoyed as practical spaces and lush outlooks.
The spaces we design are client and site specific. Each is crafted to make occupants feel inspired, comforted, and in tune with nature.
Gardens of animated sensory experience.
Texture, light and shadow bring movement into the garden throughout the day, alongside plants that change with the seasons.
​
Our designs are carefully considered to provide a sensory experience, leaving users feeling invigorated and with a clear mind.
​
Natural materials, a rich and diverse palette of plants, and successful spatial planning are the fundamental principles of our projects.
Gardens through a collaborative approach.
A well-designed outdoor space is tailored to the needs of its occupants.
We believe in working closely with clients and architects to achieve a personalised outcome suited to their lifestyle and context. Our process considers how a space will be used, the level of maintenance desired, and how the garden will interact with the site.
By working together to achieve this mutual goal, we are able to craft a garden truly reflective of you.
