From Dream To Design & Construction
“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
We’re here to make planning and caring for your garden easy with our full range of landscaping services. We work with you to create and maintain a stunning outdoor space to suit your lifestyle, location and budget. Let’s get your outdoor space looking lovely and keep it that way.
Decking
The right patio and outdoor entertaining area design will increase your total living area and add dramatic value to your home. Outdoor living and entertaining is a quint essential of Melbourne life. Decks can be built virtually anywhere to enhance or extend your living area.
We will arrange everything from the ground up and we’ll facilitate a custom design in the materials, style and finish that you are searching for. From hardwood to composite decking, tiled or even contemporary ground concrete finishes, for the look that best suits you.
When designing your deck consider the environment – is there going to be shade, full sun, what’s underneath it and what you want to use it for. This will help you to decide style, size and materials of your new deck. These are questions that will help us determine the best deck solution for you.

Softscape vs. Hardscape
First, the term softscape is used to describe non-permanent features that are not structural, they are fluid and moving – changing over time. Softscape is essentially the living and animated part of the landscape such as trees, plants, soil, grass and more. While softscaping may sound, theoretically, like the less important landscape design element, it can truly make or break a landscape. The beauty of softscaping is that it is more flexible and can be changed as your personal preferences change.
Hardscape is the term used to describe solid, hard elements that tend to remain the same for many years. This includes landscape design elements such as walkways, retaining walls, driveways, outdoor kitchens, decks and more. Hardscape gives structure and form to the landscape which is why it is typically the firm thing completed in a landscape design project. Softscape is then filled in around the hardscape to create a beautiful balance of soft and hard. The two are of equal importance because without one the landscape would look incomplete.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can help maximise the space and functionality of your property while providing an aesthetic and unique centrepiece to your outdoor space. Whether you need to control downhill erosion, manage water runoff or simply want to give your residential property a makeover, Schadescapes is here to help.
We have a variety of materials available to create your retaining wall and offer consultation services to decide which material will give your landscape a stunning new look. Our experts will ensure the retaining wall leaves your property with an enhanced appearance and long-term erosion protection.
Our team will work collaboratively alongside you to create a functional retaining wall that elevates the appearance of your property. We will provide you with concept drawings that carefully map out your project, incorporating sustainable design elements as well as ornamental aspects.
Concrete, Paving & Tiling
We offer a wide range of concreting services. Concrete is very durable, cheap, flexible, and this is one of the most highly used materials in landscaping. We use concrete for foundations, walls, floors, walkways, driveways and substrate.
We offer concrete as part of our landscaping service. It forms an integral part of landscape design, allowing us to create landscape finishes that are durable, attractive and low maintenance.
Pavers are a great option to create an attractive, durable finish for your landscaping project. With unlimited colours, designs and styles, your options are limitless. With paving, you can have a timeless landscape design that will give you and your family a beautiful outdoor that you will enjoy for an extended period of time.
If you’re looking for ways to create an upmarket feel for your landscape project, tiling is the best option. At Schadescapes, we usually recommend natural stone tiles as they are incredibly durable and attractive.
Masonry/Stonework
Stone masonry is a type of building masonry construction that uses stones and mortar. This construction technique is used for building foundations, floors, retaining walls, arches, walls and columns.
The stones used for masonry construction are natural rocks. These natural rocks are cut and dressed into proper shape in order to use it in masonry construction. Stones are one of the most durable and strong building materials.
Stone walls and stone cladding services fortify the appearance of any landscape, and help drive the longevity of your garden. At Schadescapes, we utilise the maximum potential of stonework to expand upon your landscape and outdoor entertaining area.
