Gardens with structure, water and a sense of arrival

The Studio

Banksia Design Group.

A landscape design studio on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, led by Andrew Davies. Forty years of gardens across the north shore, the coast, the eastern suburbs and beyond.

Every garden starts as a drawing — a marker perspective on paper, worked over by hand until the levels, the materials and the planting agree with each other. Then most of the work is in the detail: where a step lands, how a wall meets the ground, which way you turn when you reach the top.
