For over 30 years, Ben Kaye has developed his lifelong love of plants & gardening into a design studio to fulfil his clients’ desires for personal & beautiful gardens, reflective of their life & conducive to the environment in which they live.
At the forefront of Ben’s designs is a sustainable approach, drawing on his innate horticultural aptitude to specify flora which is suited to the locality & environment of the land for which it is specified. This ensures that successful & sustainable gardens are paramount, even at the earliest stages of planning. This philosophy is the cornerstone of all designs, from a terrace balcony to a sprawling country estate.
Ben’s successful collaboration with renowned local & international architects is testament to his ability to design gardens which marry specific architectural styles to the land on which they reside. His ability to bridge garden designs sympathetic to the structures they envelop, whilst also ensuring adherence to council planning regulations, ensures timely & successful outcomes for clients for whom planning permission is required.
From planning, to detailed working drawings & documentation, Ben works to include thorough specifications, ensuring cohesion of selected plants with surface treatments, garden lighting, furniture & finishes. This extends to water management & irrigation solutions.
Working with growers throughout Australia, Ben ensures procurement of the highest quality trees & plants for each project, taking a lead role in ensuring the garden designed is delivered to the highest standard & for assured success. In addition, Ben can source stone, lighting & furniture for all projects, providing oversight & management of these key details.
Beautiful, considered garden design, coupling nature to those who reside within it, is the foundation of Ben Kaye Garden Design.
