Landscape Designers for High-End Landscaping Projects
Before You Hire a Landscaper, Start With a Masterplan.
Looking for a landscaper in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, or the Hunter Region? Start with design. At PARC Concepts, we specialise in professional landscape design services that guide every successful landscaping project, from pools and planting to outdoor kitchens and fire pits.
​
Whether you're planning a luxury backyard, a new pool on a sloping block, or landscaping for a multi-residential site, we deliver build-ready designs that landscapers, builders, and clients trust.
​
Why Engage a Designer Before Hiring a Landscaper?
​
Hiring a landscaper without a clear plan can lead to budget blowouts, compliance issues, or results that don’t work for your home or lifestyle.
​
Our landscape designers create detailed masterplans that ensure:
​
-
Efficient construction and smart material use
-
A garden that flows with your home’s architecture
-
Council-ready documentation (DA or CDC)
-
Better collaboration with your landscaper or builder
-
Long-term savings on maintenance and upgrades​
​​
Start with us, then take your design to your landscaper, or we’ll help you connect with one of our trusted build partners.
