Retirement Villages & Aged Care Landscaping
We Take the holistic approach to build ,when we start work at any new retirement village or aged care facility.
When it comes to landscaping in the retirement, health and aged care industries, gardens do far more than just fill beds and increase occupancy rates. Landscaping directly impacts the health of residents, both physically and mentally. That’s why when we start work at any new retirement village or aged care facility, we take a holistic approach. We take one area of stress away from our clients, ensuring the gardens and landscaping are always looking their best.
We work closely with facility operators to create gardens that are immersive, enticing and as special to residents as the gardens, they would have had in past homes. With over 30 years of experience working in retirement and aged care facilities, we know how sensitive these areas can be. We hand-pick our team to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to thrive in the environment and ensure we select teams of passionate and friendly horticulturalists who will become valued members of the residents’ community.
Numerous studies over the years have recognised the benefits of gardening on our physical health, as well as our mental wellbeing. When it comes to retirement and aged care residents at a time when hobbies and activities may not be as simple to partake in as they once were, gardening is a great healthy habit.

We tailor gardens and landscaping to the particular village and the needs of residents. Community vegetable gardens to encourage residents to move outdoors, raised vegetable planters that eliminate stress on backs and joints, sensory gardens for dementia patients – we can create a well-designed space that specifically accounts to those who will be using it.
Overhanging branches, leaf litter that hides hazards below, ground cover obstructing pathways… landscaping left unmaintained can be a recipe for disaster. The last thing any operator wants is an injury or fall thanks to a branch not removed from a path. As part of our landscaping services, our teams conduct daily sweeps of the grounds to check for issues or possible safety hazards. Car parks are kept clean, with important signage always kept visible.
Landscaping can have a big impact on sales in a retirement village and aged care facility. Whether it’s a planting style that buyers have an affinity too, the perception of the lifestyle the gardens create, or the message a well-tended-to garden sends, there is no denying that landscaping contributes to occupancy rates.
Enhance your property and its price tag but providing residents with a space they can envisage themselves in and want to show off. Seasonal updates around your reception and sales centre are a great method of keeping things looking fresh, conveying the right message to visitors. As younger generations also realise the benefits of the garden on health and partake in the activity themselves, they too may take particular notice of an aged care facility that provides a number of gardens for their relatives to spend time.

Landscaping is not a one-price-fits-all industry. When looking for a landscape company, you must be able to trust them and know that they are going to stay within your budget. We strive to learn exactly what it is that you want in your landscape and what your budget will be to accomplish your dream yard. We will ask a series of questions to make sure that we are building the landscape according to your vision, but you must be honest about what you want and how much you can spend.
