Services
Landscape Design
Our horticulturally informed designs create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces tailored to Melbourne's climate. We combine aesthetic vision with practical considerations for sustainable gardens that thrive year-round. Each design incorporates site-specific factors and client lifestyle needs.
Garden Construction
From concept to completion, our team constructs premium outdoor environments using quality materials. We implement hardscapes, planting schemes, and structural elements with precision. Our director oversees every project to ensure flawless execution of design specifications.
Irrigation Systems
We install efficient automated irrigation systems that conserve water while maintaining plant health. Our designs consider soil types, plant requirements, and local rainfall patterns to create sustainable watering solutions that reduce maintenance requirements.
Soil Conditioning
Healthy soil forms the foundation of successful gardens. We conduct site assessments and implement tailored soil improvement programs using organic matter and nutrients. This ensures optimal growing conditions for plants and long-term garden vitality.
Horticultural Consultancy
Our scientific understanding of plant health informs all our projects. We provide expert advice on species selection, growth conditions, and maintenance practices. This knowledge ensures landscapes remain vibrant and resilient through Melbourne's changing seasons.

Highly recommend Forevergreen. Steve worked with us to install a smart irrigation system. He knew what was available on the market, and what would work best for our space. The irrigation system has transformed the garden into a lush green and healthy space, while lowering our water bills. Steve is hard working, professional and trustworthy. Thank you Forevergreen!

Steven did a fantastic job on our back garden - it's a green & welcoming space that's been completely transformed. He is very reliable, punctual, communicates well & leaves the site clean & tidy. A pleasure to deal with!

I cannot recommend Forever Green highly enough. We built an addition to our home and the landscapers recommended by our builder were unimpressive and very overpriced. I met with Steven and showed him some pictures of what we wanted. He listened carefully, added his suggestions and we are thrilled with the end result. I always get complements on my garden by people passing by. Steven is honest, hardworking and incredibly skilled and knowledgable about all aspects of plants and landscaping construction. I highly recommend!

Whilst my wife and I were living overseas, we contracted Steven to landscape our recently built home. Even with the time difference, communication with Steven was easy. He has transformed our garden from a building site to a lush garden with beautiful views from both inside and outside.
Steven also maintained our garden with regular visits to ensure all was settling in well. I recommend Steven highly.
