Architecturally Inspired Coastal Landscaping. From Torquay to the Bellarine Peninsula

Living on the coast is a lifestyle choice, but building a garden that survives the Victorian elements is a technical challenge. Between the salt spray of Jan Juc and the harsh winds of Point Lonsdale, your landscape needs to be as resilient as it is beautiful.

At Focus Landscaping and Design, we bring a "Coastal-First" approach to every project. Having mastered high-end residential landscapes in the rugged coastal markets of Fremantle and Perth, founder Matt understands exactly how to select materials and plants that thrive in sandy soils and saline environments. Whether you are in a new build in The Sands (Torquay) or a luxury retreat in Barwon Heads, we create outdoor spaces that stand the test of time.

Designed For The Unique Coastal Elements.

A coastal garden near Geelong requires more than just "pretty plants." We focus on the structural and horticultural integrity needed for the Surf Coast:

Salt-Tolerant Palettes: We move beyond the basics, using a sophisticated mix of native and exotic species that won't "burn" in the salt wind.

Premium Coastal Timbers: We specialise in high-grade hardwoods (like Spotted Gum and Ironbark) and hidden-fix decking systems that resist warping and weathering.

Smart Irrigation & Drainage: Coastal sandy soils drain fast. We design precision irrigation systems to ensure your $10k–$50k investment stays green through the peak of summer.

Wind Protection & Privacy: Using architectural screening and strategic "shelter-belt" planting to create private sanctuaries protected from the Bass Strait winds.

Luxury Finishes for Modern Coastal Homes

Your landscape should be a seamless extension of your home's interior. We specialise in the "Modern Coastal" aesthetic popular in Ocean Grove and Torquay.

Natural Stone Paving: Utilising travertine, bluestone, or limestone that stays cool underfoot and resists fading.

Outdoor Entertaining: Custom fire pits, built-in seating, pergolas and decking designed for year-round use.

Low-Voltage Lighting: Architectural lighting that highlights the textures of your garden while withstanding the corrosive coastal air.
