AKAS Landscape Architecture

Extraordinary Exhibit in the 2022 Melbourne Flower & Garden Show - It was Captivating at so many levels. The link between our forests and climate change was well made 2.6 Billion m2 of forest destroyed world wide during the length of the show. Thank you for your work on this truely thought provoking display

We are very satisfied with our 'oasis' garden that AKAS created for us. Our small back yard has been transformed from a hard surfaced, hot box to a cooling urban mini jungle. The design process was very collaborative to ensure that the design suited our needs and budget. The contractors that AKAS organised for our job were professional, prompt with excellent landscaping skills. I would highly recommend AKAS.

Our townhouse had a small courtyard with grey pavers, that looked bland and uninteresting. Our only view was a wooden fence with a narrow retaining wall that some basic plants in it see from our living and kitchen area.We wanted a peaceful green outlook to integrate the outside area with our inside space. We contracted AKAS to fulfil this brief and we have been blown away with the end result. They understood the challenges of our small outside space. AKAS recommended a low maintenance vertical wall garden immediately outside our kitchen eating area with an adjacent self sufficient rainforest rockpool pond infront of our living room window. This consolation process included well documented and accurate plans with full transparency and the costings were within our advised budget.We found AKAS to be professional, knowledgeable and creative in their collaboration with us. Anthony and Alistair have a unique ascetic and approach to their profession and think out of the box with creativity to find solutions.The final outcome upon completion was exactly what we wanted and we have been thoroughly delighted with our outside space. Its our tranquility!!

Having collaborated with AKAS on a number of projects, as a professional colleague I have always found them to be responsive, reliable and have frequently borrowed from their expertise for projects in my own practice. Having shared an office space with them I was always impressed by the professional and friendly nature with which they handled their client interactions, and I have recommend AKAS first and foremost if we were unable to take the job on, or if it required a degree of knowledge outside our specialty and will continue to do so in future. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Akas landscape architecture. The guys exceeded my expectations of what my garden could actually look like. From what I thought was a tiny awkward unusable space to an absolute oasis in my eyes. With an area that is tucked away behind my house that was never used is now one of my favourite areas and I constantly sit there or pace up and down in amazement of what it really is now. I cant wait to invite the guys back to design my front garden next so the the entire neighbourhood can enjoy what i get to enjoy in my rear garden everyday. Thank you guys so much & ill see you real soon

With a newly built house standing on a sea of clay, we had a large block crying out for a garden. Anthony and Alistair developed a stunning design; coldstream rock staircases and garden beds, a pond, succulents mixed in with indigenous grasses, Queensland Bottle Trees and bamboo. Although there was some difficulty getting the levels right on our steep block, the end result is gorgeous. Anthony and Alistair have an incredible knowledge of plants and their vision for the block bloth responded to the brief and managed to delight and surprise us. They also brought us into contact with a fantastic landscaping company, Bespoke, who did a fantastic job of making the plan come to fruition. In the end, the project came in on budget and is a daily source of pleasure.

Anthony and Alistair fulfilled our brief of having an inviting, low maintenance, functional garden and planting which provides year-round colour. We came in with a blank canvas and they gave us great ideas for a beautiful backyard sanctuary and a unique Australian native front garden. They worked excellently within our budget and were helpful in providing flexible options such as presenting alternative designs, plants, methods and materials that are more affordable but carried similar effect. We love spending time in what AKAS produced as our backyard garden and being able to bring in flowers and herbs for use in the home. We highly recommend AKAS landscape for garden design- they are passionate about their work, thorough, detail oriented and accommodated to our specific needs.

Anthony & Alistair designed a garden for us that ticked all the boxes - aesthetics, functionality, and was low maintenance. We trusted their decision-making throughout the process, and they were happy to accommodate any changes we requested. The contractors they employed were also highly professional and all in all it was a great experience from start to finish.

We had an excellent experience doing our landscape design with AKAS.They spent a lot of time with us discussing what we wanted and answering any questions. We were given a very detailed concept design and 3D render. After that we had further discussions and worked with them to make some changes to the design.When it came time to doing the landscaping work, AKAS was at our site working with our landscapers and making sure everything was as specified.We are very happy with our garden. It turned out exactly as agreed in the design.
