Concept Design
Our concept design service translates client visions into detailed, sustainable landscape plans. We conduct initial consultations to understand aesthetic preferences and functional needs, followed by scaled drawings and material specifications. From DA applications to trades coordination, we ensure seamless execution of creative, environmentally conscious designs tailored to residential and commercial properties.
Project Management
Our project management team oversees every phase of implementation, ensuring adherence to timelines and budgets. We coordinate site planning, approvals, and tradespeople while maintaining transparent communication with clients. This service guarantees that complex landscaping projects are delivered efficiently, with minimal disruption and maximum quality control from inception to completion.
Soft Landscaping
Soft landscaping focuses on living elements like plants, trees, and irrigation systems. We select species suited to local climates and client preferences, ensuring vibrant, low-maintenance gardens. Our expertise includes soil preparation, planting, and ongoing care to create dynamic, eco-friendly spaces that evolve beautifully over time while complementing architectural styles.
Hard Landscaping
Hard landscaping involves constructing permanent features such as paths, retaining walls, and driveways. Using premium materials and advanced machinery, we create durable, visually striking structures that enhance property functionality. Our team ensures precise installation of hardscapes that integrate seamlessly with soft landscaping elements for cohesive outdoor environments.
Maintenance
Our maintenance programs preserve the longevity and beauty of landscaped areas through regular upkeep. Services include pruning, mulching, irrigation management, and seasonal adjustments. Tailored to each property's unique needs, our maintenance ensures gardens remain vibrant and healthy year-round, reflecting the original design intent with minimal client effort.

Rob, Chad and the team at Get Smart have been fantastic and a pleasure to work with over the past 2 1/2 years. They initially constructed and rebuilt all of our hard landscaping including paths, driveway and garden beds and then sourced and planted our garden. Since then Chad and his team have maintained and cared for our garden with pride over the past 2 years and we couldnt be happier with how its looking. I would thoroughly endorse and recommend working with the team at Get Smart Landscaping.

Last summer we had a new pool installed and Get Smart Landscaping to do the landscaping works. Rob was so helpful from our first call to showing us how to use the irrigation system on the last day, Their team worked really hard throughout a really hot period and even worked late on a really hot Friday to get our irrigation working to keep all the plants watered. The end result was more than we could have wished for and since we have used their maintenance team our garden has never looked so good. Thanks to the whole team.

Get Smart Landscaping executed our difficult landscaping job in Killara with tact and efficiency. They were onsite early, committed to schedule and followed through on every detail and promise. When we made on-the-fly changes, they helped us with solutions. When we queried costings to these changes, they came up with economic alternatives to support our vision, and not burden the pockets.
Marty, Andrew and the crew were just...pleasant. They seemed to take real pride in their work. Nothing seemed to be a problem. It was just something to solve. I also noticed how they worked together. They
