In 2024, Longview Landscapes was awarded for its contribution to an award-winning garden at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, in collaboration with landscape designer Phillip Withers.
The project brought together thoughtful design, technical precision, and disciplined delivery — resulting in a temporary garden installation that balanced visual impact with long-term purpose.
Designed by Phillip Withers and delivered by Longview Landscapes, the garden was developed through a close collaborative process.
From early concept development through to detailed construction planning, the project required clear communication, shared technical understanding, and a unified approach to execution. Every element was carefully considered to ensure the design intent could be realised within the constraints of time, space, and temporary installation requirements.
A defining feature of the 2024 garden was its ability to be fully dismantled and relocated following the show.
Rather than being designed as a single-use installation, the structure, materials, and planting systems were planned to allow for reassembly at another site. This approach extended the life of the garden beyond the exhibition, reinforcing principles of sustainability, adaptability, and long-term value.
The entire garden was constructed and installed on site in approximately one week — requiring detailed coordination, disciplined sequencing, and efficient on-site management.
Our construction team worked closely with suppliers and consultants to ensure materials, structural elements, and planting were delivered and installed with precision. This compressed program demanded clarity at every stage, from logistics through to final detailing.

A professional landscape design service typically includes a detailed site assessment, concept planning, layout drawings, planting selections, material specifications, and construction-ready documentation. The process considers site conditions such as drainage, soil type, orientation, access, and existing structures to ensure the design is both functional and visually cohesive.
At Longview Landscapes, our landscape design process focuses on creating outdoor spaces that are tailored to your lifestyle, architecture, and long-term maintenance needs — delivering a clear, buildable plan that translates seamlessly from concept through to construction.
The landscape design process typically takes between two and six weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project, site conditions, and client feedback timelines. This timeframe allows for site analysis, concept development, design refinement, and preparation of detailed documentation.
A structured design timeline ensures that materials, planting schedules, and construction stages are carefully planned, resulting in a smoother build process and a higher-quality finished landscape.
While it is possible to landscape without a formal design, a professionally prepared landscape plan helps avoid costly changes, material wastage, and layout issues during construction. A clear design provides direction for levels, drainage, planting zones, and hardscape features before work begins.
Investing in landscape design early allows your outdoor spaces to integrate seamlessly with your home and ensures that the finished result performs well over time.
We’re landscape builders first, which means we approach concreting as part of integrated outdoor design rather than isolated concrete work.
Our in-house teams handle everything from design through construction, ensuring consistent quality without subcontractors. With 10+ years in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, we understand local conditions: coastal exposure in Sorrento and Portsea, clay soils in Toorak, specific council requirements across different areas.
We manage permits, coordinate with other trades, and ensure concrete work integrates with your broader landscape. Our clients value our straightforward communication, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering what we promise.
