Natural Landscapes is a South Australian landscape design & build company.
Our landscapes are designed with care and built with enduring quality.

Focused on integrating a built environments with the natural world, 
Every landscape we create is unique, shaped by our client’s specific needs and the distinct characteristics of the site. By drawing on the rich variety of materials and plants native to South Australia, we ensure each project feels grounded in its place.

Our passion lies in working with indigenous plants and natural materials. These elements not only reflect the beauty of our local environment but also thrive within it. We tailor our plant selections to suit each site’s microclimate- what works in Marino Rocks may be completely different to what thrives in Aldgate.
To support this, we collaborate with local nurseries that collect seed from bushland and grow resilient, region-specific plant stock.

We favour materials like locally sourced timber, brick, rock, and steel—chosen not just for aesthetics, but for their durability and performance. Our timber is milled by Potters Timbers and selected based on the project’s requirements—whether for bushfire resistance, in-ground use, furniture, or veggie gardens. We match these materials with the right treatments and fixtures, such as stainless steel, galvanized hardware, and timber joinery. We also prioritize permeable and water-retaining elements like brick to help manage site conditions sustainably.

Every detail in our landscapes is considered with intention and care. We love our work and are committed to building outside environments which help people connect with nature.
