Our Story

A Passion for Place

David Claude Landscape Design was founded in 1994 with a simple belief: that great gardens emerge from deep understanding of place. Based in Greensborough, we've spent three decades learning the subtle nuances of Melbourne's diverse landscapes.

Our journey has taken us from intimate courtyard gardens in Ivanhoe to expansive estate properties in Eltham. We've tackled some of Melbourne's most challenging steep blocks, turned neglected yards into private retreats, and created pool landscapes that feel like resort escapes.

Along the way, we've been honoured with multiple LIAV industry awards and a Gold Medal at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. Our work has been featured in Australia's Best Gardens and Outdoor Design & Living magazine.

But our greatest satisfaction comes from the gardens themselves—watching them mature over years, seeing families enjoy outdoor spaces we've created, knowing our designs will bring joy for generations.

Our Values

What We Stand For

The principles that guide every project we undertake.

We believe every garden deserves thoughtful, considered design that responds to its unique conditions and your aspirations.

Our Approach

Design That Listens

Every project begins with listening—to you, and to your site. We want to understand how you live, how you hope to use your outdoor space, and what would make it truly yours.

We then listen to your property: its soil, its light, its challenges and opportunities. The best designs emerge from this dialogue between aspiration and reality.

Our one-stop service means a single point of contact from initial concept through to completed garden. Design integrity is maintained because the same team that creates the vision sees it through to reality.
