Acreage & Large Garden Landscape Design
Transform Your Land Into a Liveable, Layered Landscape
At PARC Concepts, we specialise in acreage landscape design and large garden landscaping that brings order, elegance, and usability to expansive outdoor spaces. Whether you’re working with a rural lifestyle block, a semi-rural estate, or a large suburban garden, our designs are tailored to your land, lifestyle, and long-term vision.
We create outdoor environments across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Port Stephens, the Hunter Region, and the Central Coast, with a focus on high-end properties that require thoughtful, scalable design.
Design for Scale and Serenity
Designing for acreage or large gardens isn’t about filling space, it’s about creating purposeful zones that complement your home, frame the landscape, and elevate how you live outdoors.
Our large garden design services consider:
-
Site-responsive planning that enhances views and access
-
Garden zoning for entertaining, retreat, play, and practicality
-
Long-term plant performance and low maintenance principles
-
Structural elements like retaining walls, pathways, terraces, and fencing
-
Integration with bushfire-compliant or water-wise design where required
Whether you need garden designs for large gardens with open lawns and layered plantings, or a rural landscape plan that balances beauty and simplicity, we tailor every layout to your land's topography and your lifestyle.
Acreage Landscape Design Services
We deliver end-to-end landscape design documentation for acreage properties, which may include:
-
Detailed site analysis and topographic overlays
-
Masterplans with zoning and structure placement
-
Planting schedules suited to large-scale or rural conditions
-
Native or water-wise plant selection
-
Irrigation and maintenance strategies
-
Optional 3D visualisations and elevation drawings
-
Council-ready plans for DA or CDC submission
Designed to Integrate with Pools & Outdoor Amenities
Many of our acreage clients choose to incorporate premium outdoor features into their property. Our large garden landscape design service often includes:
-
Outdoor kitchens, dining terraces, and firepit lounges
-
Garden saunas, outdoor bathrooms, and wellness zones
-
Private tennis or basketball courts with appropriate levelling
-
Long-entry driveway planting, arrival gardens, and privacy buffers
We ensure every element feels intentional, connected, and architecturally aligned with the home and land.
Designing with Sensitivity: Why It Matters
Unlike smaller urban blocks, acreage and large garden sites often exist within or adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas including bushland, creeks, native grasslands, or wildlife corridors. Poor planning on these sites can lead to erosion, habitat disruption, and water mismanagement.
At PARC Concepts, we take a sustainable, site-sensitive approach to every acreage project. Our landscape designs aim to:
-
Preserve native vegetation and encourage biodiversity
-
Manage stormwater and run-off effectively
-
Reduce the risk of erosion through considered contouring and planting
-
Use low-water, low-maintenance plant species that thrive long-term
-
Integrate built features (like retaining walls and driveways) with minimal environmental disturbance
Our process ensures your garden isn’t just beautiful and functional, it also reflects long-term environmental responsibility that protects and enhances the land you're on.
Our Process: From Raw Land to Refined Landscape
Designing for acreage and large-scale gardens requires more than just creativity, it takes clarity, coordination, and expert spatial planning. Our process is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to the unique demands of larger properties.
01
Clarity Call
We begin with a 30-minute video or phone consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle, and how you’d like to use your outdoor space. We’ll discuss the scope of your property, any must-haves (pools, courts, gardens, etc.), and your desired investment.
02
Site Consultation
Acreage blocks come with their own set of opportunities and challenges, from sun orientation and wind exposure to slopes and drainage. We visit your site (in person or virtually), assess conditions, and gather essential data to inform the design.
03
Concept Design
We develop a custom landscape concept plan with:
-
Functional zoning and spatial layout
-
Recommendations for structures, hardscaping, and materials
-
Preliminary planting direction
-
Scalable design options for staged implementation.
We’ll walk you through the design and refine it based on your feedback.
04
Final Plans & Documentation
Once approved, we provide a final plan package tailored to your needs, from planting schedules and materials specifications to council-ready drawings for DA/CDC (if required). Optional add-ons like lighting concepts, irrigation plans, and 3D renders are also available.
05
Construction & Project Support (Optional)
We can remain involved throughout the build phase to ensure the design is executed as intended. While we don’t construct directly, we work alongside your chosen builder or recommend trusted local professionals to bring the vision to life.
Why Work With PARC Concepts?

With a deep knowledge of NSW’s local councils and site conditions (as well as Australia wide), we also ensure your design is compliant, buildable, and future-proofed, from plant choice to structural placement.
