ANKS

Architectural landscaping,
done with intent.

Design and construction for architectural homes and luxury commercial spaces across Melbourne. Considered from the ground up, integrated with the architecture, built to age well.

Built on craft. Designed for life.

Designed with intent

Restrained palettes, considered proportions, plants chosen for the way they age.

Built in-house

Landscape, construction and earthworks. One team, one line of accountability.

Finish that holds

Bluestone, ironbark, weathering steel - materials chosen to wear in, not out.

What we do

Design, build, and the craft beneath both.

Landscaping leads. Construction and earthworks make it possible.

Our approach

Considered at every stage.

  1. Brief

    Site visit and brief

    We walk the site, read the architecture, and understand how you want to use the space, indoors and out.

  2. Design

    Concept and documentation

    Materiality, levels and planting resolved on paper before anything is built. Restrained palettes, considered proportions.

  3. Build

    Construction and earthworks

    Landscape, construction and earthworks under one in-house team, so levels, drainage and structure resolve together.

  4. Planting

    Soft landscaping and detail

    Plants chosen for the way they age, set against the finished materials and lighting.

  5. Establishment

    A landscape that ages well

    Year-one care while the planting matures and the project settles into its site.

Questions?
We have answers.

Do you work alongside our architect or designer?

Yes. Many of our projects begin alongside an architect or designer already engaged on the project. We are comfortable coming in at concept stage to shape the landscape brief with them, or taking a resolved design through to documentation and build.

The earlier we are involved, the more the garden and the architecture can resolve as a single move rather than two that meet at the boundary.

Which areas do you work across?

Our residential work spans Melbourne's east and inner suburbs - Toorak, South Yarra, Armadale, Malvern, Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell, North Balwyn and Brighton - and we take on luxury commercial projects across the wider metropolitan area. If your project sits outside that, get in touch and we will let you know.

Do you take on commercial projects?

Yes. Alongside our residential work, we take on luxury commercial landscaping - hospitality, boutique retail, corporate and premium developments - where the outdoor environment needs the same design intent as the building. Same in-house team, same finish quality.

Do you handle construction and earthworks, or only planting?

All of it, in-house. Landscape design, construction (pools, retaining, terraces, pergolas) and earthworks (site preparation, drainage, levels) sit under one team.

That is deliberate. It means the disciplines align from day one rather than being subcontracted apart and stitched together at the end.

How long does a garden project take?

It depends on scope, site access and how much structural work sits beneath the surface. Levels, drainage, retaining and soil all need to be right before planting goes in, so a considered garden is rarely a quick job. We give you a realistic program at proposal stage, not an optimistic one.

What does a project cost?

Every site is different, so we do not publish a fixed price. After an initial site visit and brief we prepare a detailed proposal, and we are upfront about where the budget goes. If cost certainty matters to you, we build the proposal around it.

What happens after the garden is built?

A garden is at its least settled on the day it is finished. We offer establishment care through the first year, the period that decides whether planting matures the way it was designed to. We will talk through what your garden needs to age well.
