Landscape Designer Inner West - FAQ
How do you design a front garden for an Inner West heritage home?
Start with the original elements of the garden, such as the path, front fence, sandstone, mature trees and the relationship between garden and verandah.
Then simplify the planting plan rather than recreate a period garden.
Inner West heritage controls specifically recognise established garden settings, early paths, gates and front fencing as part of a property’s character.
How to landscape a modern rear extension to an older Inner West house?
The new garden should tie in elements of both the old house and the new architecture, not try to disguise either one.
Planting should still be selected for the orientation of the site for sun, wind and shade exposure.
Layered planting and materials should pick up references from both parts of the house.
What planting works best in Inner West gardens with hot western sun and reflected heat?
For a hot western aspect, design for the shade first and the planting second.
A small canopy tree or taller structural planting can reduce the impact of afternoon sun. With hardy shrubs and groundcovers below.
Plants close to heat-radiating masonry need particularly careful selection taking into account soil depth and irrigation.
How do you create garden privacy from neighbouring two-storey homes in the Inner West?
Don’t plant a solid hedge around the entire boundary. Screen the specific upper-storey sightlines so that the backyard doesn’t look too repetitive.
A strategically positioned small tree, taller planting and a permeable screen usually provide better privacy while preserving light.
Inner West planning controls also recognise that landscaping should complement, rather than be the sole solution for, overlooking neighbours houses.
Do I need council approval (DA or CDC) for new Inner West garden structures?
Some landscape projects in the Inner West (like adding a pergola, retaining wall, or outdoor deck) often require council approval under Development Applications (DA) or Complying Development Certificates (CDC).
MOSS Landscape Design Sydney can advise whether approvals are needed and manage the submission process for you.
This ensures your landscape design in the Inner West complies with council regulations, saving time and avoiding costly mistakes.
