Gardens that grow into themselves.
Design, build and maintenance across South-East Queensland. We plant for what a garden will look like in five years, not on handover day.
Why the planting looks thin for the first year.
Hollow Lane could plant every garden at full size and have it look finished on the day the build team leaves. It plants smaller stock instead, because a garden put in at full size tends to stall, while smaller plants establish and overtake it within a few seasons.
That takes patience clients are not always expecting, so the studio shows what a garden will look like at year one, year three and year five before anyone signs off the planting plan. Fifteen years in, that is still the argument that wins people over.
Design, build, and keep.
Most clients come for one and stay for all three.
Garden design
A measured survey, a planting plan and a drawing you could hand to any contractor. Yours whether we build it or not.
Landscaping and build
Paving, walling, decking, pergolas and drainage. Our own team, not a chain of subcontractors.
Maintenance
Fortnightly or monthly, by people who know what was planted and why it is where it is.
What happens next
A visit and a survey
An hour in the garden, and we measure it properly.
A drawing and a planting plan
With a phased cost, so it can be built in stages if that suits.
Built, then looked after
The same team plants it and comes back to maintain it.
Fifteen years, South-East Queensland.
A design studio and a build team, under one roof.

“They said the garden would look thin for two seasons and then come good. It did, exactly as they described.”

Arrange a visit
An hour in the garden costs nothing and usually tells us most of what we need to know.
