Landscape and pool design for Middle Park
Middle Park is one of Melbourne’s most tightly held suburbs, where heritage homes sit alongside thoughtful contemporary additions and outdoor space is highly valued.
Designing in Middle Park is less about the size of the garden and more about how every part of it contributes to daily life. A front garden needs to create privacy without feeling enclosed. A courtyard needs to feel generous. Every view from inside the home deserves careful consideration.
At Mint Design, we approach landscape design in Middle Park as an extension of the architecture, creating gardens that feel calm, connected and beautifully resolved.
The most successful landscapes aren’t necessarily the largest. They’re the ones where every decision has purpose.
Designing for Middle Park
Many Middle Park properties require a careful balance between preserving character and introducing contemporary outdoor living.
Planting plays an important role in softening built form and creating privacy, while restrained materials help outdoor spaces feel timeless rather than trend-driven.
Where pools or spas are included, they’re designed as part of the landscape rather than individual features, allowing every element to work together as one cohesive outdoor environment.
Recent work in Middle Park
Our work in Middle Park demonstrates how considered landscape design can transform compact outdoor spaces into gardens that feel generous, welcoming and connected to the home.
By carefully balancing planting, materials and outdoor living, each space becomes greater than the size of the site itself.

Our process
Every project begins by understanding your home, your site and how you want to live outdoors.
From there we develop concept plans, planting design and detailed construction documentation, ensuring every element contributes to a cohesive landscape.
Depending on the scope of the project, our involvement can continue through permits, contractor liaison and site visits during construction.
