Our purpose is to make it easy to upgrade your verge from lawn to lovely.
All you need to do is confirm the design and we will do the rest.
You will need to water while the garden establishes. (Unless it rains, then you are off the hook! ⛈️)

Gardening is the best response we can see to the world right now.
Every garden is designed to Brisbane City Council's verge garden guidelines, with paths, bins and sightlines kept clear.
We access quality plants from the best SEQ wholesale native plant nurseries.
Our aim is to keep prices as low as possible while using high quality, sustainable materials. By upgrading streets in batches, we keep logistics costs down.
Replace lawn with low-maintenance native plants. No weekend labour, no mower.
Drought-tolerant natives suited to Brisbane's climate. No irrigation needed once established.
Native plants support birds, bees and local wildlife, and verge gardens beautify and cool our local streets.
Whether you want to get your hands dirty or have it all done in a day, we have an option for you. Choose how much digging you'd like to do and how quickly you want the wow factor, and we'll take care of the rest.
We can smother your lawn under cardboard and mulch, dig it out by hand, or lift it with a turf cutter. We'll recommend the best method for your grass, your soil and what's underground. No poison, ever.

Every installed garden includes six monthly establishment visits. We weed, top up mulch, re-secure any matting and replace plants that haven't taken, as long as the garden has been watered regularly while it settles in.
Once established, our hardy natives thrive on Brisbane's rainfall, with no irrigation and very little upkeep.
We love edible gardens, herbs, veggies, wildflower meadows and no-mow grass.
No-mow native grasses: a soft, green alternative to lawn for low foot traffic areas.
Wildflower meadows: a biodiverse, low-maintenance garden that brings in bees, birds and butterflies.
Edible verges: herbs and low-growing bush foods to share with the street.
Want a street tree? We can help you request one from Brisbane City Council.
