Mornington Peninsula
Landscape and pool design across the Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula offers some of Victoria’s most distinctive landscapes. From coastal homes in Blairgowrie and Sorrento to rural properties in Red Hill, every site brings its own opportunities and challenges.
At Mint Design, we believe the landscape should feel as though it belongs to its surroundings. Views, existing vegetation, changing levels and the character of the site all become part of the design process.
The most successful Peninsula gardens don’t compete with the landscape around them. They become part of it.
Designing for the Mornington Peninsula
No two Peninsula properties are the same, which is why every project begins with understanding the site itself.
Coastal gardens often require planting that can withstand wind and salt exposure, while inland properties may focus on creating shelter, framing views or connecting multiple outdoor spaces across larger blocks.
Pools, outdoor entertaining areas and planting are considered together, creating landscapes that feel relaxed, durable and deeply connected to the way people live.

Our process
Every project begins by understanding the site and the way you want to use it.
From there we develop concept plans, planting design and detailed construction documentation that allow the landscape to be delivered exactly as intended.
Depending on the scope of your project, our involvement can continue through permits, contractor liaison and site visits during construction.
