___ WHAT WE DO

The Art of  Living Landscapes

Most people think soft landscaping is simply putting plants in the ground. In reality, it’s one of the most creative and technically demanding disciplines in the trade — and when it’s done right, it transforms how a home feels, functions and is valued.

Soft landscaping encompasses everything alive in your garden: trees, shrubs, ground covers, ornamental grasses, flowers, lawn and all the soil, mulch and irrigation systems that sustain them. It’s the difference between a yard and a garden — and between a house and a home.

At DECOBUG, we begin every project by listening. We want to understand how you use your outdoor space, what you love about it, what frustrates you, and what your dream looks like. From there, we design and install a landscape that’s genuinely yours — not a template copied from a catalogue.

Whether you’re starting from bare earth or refreshing an established garden that’s lost its spark, our team brings creativity, horticultural knowledge and quality craftsmanship to every square metre of your Sydney property.

The DECOBUG Promise

Every soft landscaping project comes with a written scope, a fixed quote with no hidden costs, and a post-installation check-in to make sure everything is thriving. We don’t consider a job finished until you’re genuinely delighted with the result.

___ WHAT’S INCLUDED

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t

Every DECOBUG soft landscaping project is scoped individually so you only pay for what your garden actually needs — no upselling, no filler work.

Design Consultation

We visit your property, assess the space, sun exposure, soil and drainage, then sit with you to understand your vision and budget before designing a solution.

Plant Selection & Sourcing

We choose plants that suit Sydney’s climate, your soil type and your lifestyle — recommending varieties that will thrive with minimal effort from you.

Soil Preparation

Healthy plants need healthy soil. We prepare, aerate and enrich your planting beds before a single plant goes in — the foundation of a garden that lasts.

Full Installation

Our team installs every tree, shrub, ground cover and feature plant to professional horticultural standards, including staking, mulching and initial watering.

Irrigation Advice

We guide you on the right watering approach for your new plants — or can recommend and install a drip system to make garden care effortless.

Care Guide & Follow-Up

Every project includes a written plant care guide tailored to your new garden, plus a follow-up call at 4 weeks to check everything is establishing well.

We Listen — Genuinely

Every DECOBUG garden is different because every client is different. We don’t push standard packages. We ask, listen and create something uniquely yours.

Plants That Thrive, Not Just Survive

We source healthy, quality stock from trusted nurseries — not budget filler. Your plants are chosen to establish quickly and reward you with lasting beauty.

“We’d been staring at a tired, brown backyard for years and just didn’t know where to start. DECOBUG came out, listened to everything we said, and then delivered a garden that honestly looks like something from a magazine. The transformation was extraordinary — our kids actually want to be outside now.”

___ FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions We Hear Every Day

What exactly is soft landscaping and how is it different to hard landscaping?

Soft landscaping refers to all the living, organic elements of your garden — plants, trees, shrubs, lawn, ground covers, mulch and soil. Hard landscaping refers to structures like paving, fences, retaining walls and pergolas. DECOBUG specialises exclusively in soft landscaping, which means we focus on the greenery, planting and lawn elements that make a garden feel alive and beautiful. We often work alongside a separate concreter or builder for any hard elements.

How much does soft landscaping cost in Sydney?

Soft landscaping projects in Sydney vary widely based on size, plant selection and soil condition. A small front yard refresh might start from $1,500–$3,000. A full backyard transformation can range from $5,000 to $20,000+. We provide a free, detailed quote after visiting your property — so you’ll know exactly what your project costs before you commit to anything.

How long does a typical soft landscaping project take?

Most residential soft landscaping projects take between 1 and 3 days depending on the size and complexity of the work. Larger properties or those requiring significant soil preparation may take up to 5 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline in your quote so you can plan around the installation.

What time of year is best for soft landscaping in Sydney?

In Sydney’s climate, autumn (March–May) and spring (September–November) are the ideal seasons for planting. These seasons offer mild temperatures that help new plants establish without the stress of summer heat or winter cold. That said, DECOBUG can successfully install gardens year-round — we simply adjust plant selection and watering recommendations based on the season.

Do you choose the plants or do I?

It’s a collaboration. We bring horticultural expertise and knowledge of what thrives in your specific area of Sydney — you bring your vision, colour preferences and lifestyle requirements. We’ll suggest a plant palette and explain why each plant is recommended, and we’re always happy to incorporate plants you love as long as they’re suited to your garden’s conditions.
