At Insight Landscapes, we know that one of the best parts of landscaping is that it can be completely personalised to suit your every need and whim. Our customers desire a vast range of landscape styles, elements, and atmospheres, and we strive to make those longings a reality. For both residential and commercial landscape design, there are endless possibilities that await you.

Many of our customers who are homeowners ask our team to help them create and design a serene space–a peaceful retreat on their property which will transport them away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Using various aspects of innovative landscaping, we can assist you in planning a tranquil and beautiful outdoor expanse where you’ll love to relax.

Define Your Peace

The first step is developing your vision. If you’re seeking a restful retreat, you may want to consider: what is peace, to you? For many, this means an attractive garden with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Peaceful areas often signify lush vegetation, fragrant flowers, and the gentle sounds of running water. Perhaps you wish to feel as secluded as possible and love the idea of being enclosed in a tall rose garden.

Be as imaginative as you like, and don’t hesitate to take notes of elements you’d love to include or specific colours you find soothing. We can also help you create gardens or landscaping that is thematic in nature, such as an Asian- inspired zen garden, rustic country hideaway or a tropical island paradise.

Building Your Retreat

As professional landscapers, our team has handled all manner of designs and environments. As we aid you in developing your perfect, peaceful retreat, we can provide suggestions and alternatives you may not have initially considered when imagining your dream landscape plan. When most homeowners envision their future landscaping, they picture sweeping green lawns and plenty of trees, flowers, and shrubs. While these can all be integral elements in your design, landscaping can be so much more than that.

As a peaceful retreat, you will likely want your space to have a variety of cosy seating options. With timber work or stone work, we can create benches, unique chair shapes, and more. Your seating could look quite prim and polished or have that rough-hewn natural look, perhaps even integrating the seating with elements of nature like large boulders or amidst trees. If to you, peace means playfulness, why not consider a beautiful custom-made timber swing for your landscape–suitable for all ages? This would make a stunning conversation piece as well as provide seating and enjoyment for you and your guests.

Pathways and walls also are a major influence on the landscape. We can work with a variety of materials such as stone, brick, cement, or gravel to get your ground spaces just the way you want them. We’ve even had customers request a labyrinth design; many people find walking a labyrinth to be amazing for focus and relaxation.

Rocks and sculpture can add a great deal to your peaceful landscaping retreat. Sculpture surely gives your landscape that regal, sophisticated touch. In combination with water features such as fountains and waterfalls, rocks can contribute to the overall aesthetic of the space and enhance your theme or atmosphere. Add to this appropriate lighting, an ideal combination of flora, and the inclusion of extra special, distinct details, and you’ll discover that, with the help of Insight Landscapes, your home landscaping has been turned into a dreamy peaceful retreat.
