Remove the sense of overwhelm and indecision, avoid mistakes, and find the most effective use of your space with a custom landscaping plan. Hi, I'm Justin Nigh, award winning landscape designer (People's Choice award, Queensland Garden Expo), horticulturalist, and founder of Regenerative Designs Australia.
I design natural style sustainable gardens with an emphasis on Australian native and low maintenance exotic plants and materials that are suited to Australian conditions, helping to ensure the success of your investment and reduce your garden maintenance. I help people transform their ordinary garden into a special outdoor space they love to spend time in.
If you're renovating your existing garden or planning a new one, I'd love to help you create a custom landscaping plan tailored to your unique style and lifestyle, whether you'll DIY, use a professional landscaper, or both. Great gardens & landscapes don't just happen by accident, but because they're thoughtfully and intentionally created based on good landscape design.

Justin did an excellent job in taking our ideas and thoughts, adding his own, and developing an amazing garden design. It not only looks beautiful, but is functional and practical and meets our brief of 'outdoor rooms' and less mowing! The whole process was enjoyable and transparent with good communication assisted by Justin's quick response to questions. We especially loved the 3D animated fly through showing our new garden design as a great addition to the very detailed flat plan. Working with Justin was an enjoyable and productive experience that we readily recommend to others.

Justin has shown professionalism in all steps of our design process. He listened to our ideas, understood our vision, was adaptable to the needs of our 5 acre block and our desire to implement the final plans ourselves. Thank you Justin for your prompt responses, keeping us very informed and answering our questions clearly. We've really enjoyed working with you and are very excited to watch our garden grow!

Justin did an amazing design for our garden. He took the time to really understand the vision we had and match that to the house and surrounding area. Great selection of natives and interesting design features. We could not be any happier with the finished result.

Justin was fantastic to work with and we are incredibly happy with the design he has created for our small property. We have a new build and a blank but quite small canvas of which we we wanted to get alot of use. Justin is methodical, and the process of interviews and surveys is highly enjoyable. It resulted in a concept plan that far exceeded our expectations and we had had not one change request. It incorporated all our requests and his solutions to things like an ugly shed on an adjacent property and an ugly trampoline in our backyard are well thought out and demonstrate his attention to detail

We would not hesitate to recommend Justin. He was prompt, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We secured his services to design a tropical garden plan along the side of our property to provide a screen and also be aesthetically pleasing. Justin carefully assessed the area noting soil type, orientation and areas of particular concern to us. He also provided valuable information relating to plant selection, garden bed preparation, edging and irrigation. The final design (detailed & scaled) was very pleasing and we are very excited to be creating the garden that we had hoped for based on Justin

I highly recommend Justin from Regenerative Designs Australia for quality well thought out landscape designs. I engaged Justin to develop a whole of property outdoors landscape plan including paved driveway and back patio, property entrance paths and water feature, outdoor eating and seating areas, shade areas and native plants to attract local wildlife.
Justin followed a thorough process of listening to my initial requirements/ideas, likes and dislikes with existing areas to develop a functional layout which he then converted into a preliminary concept plan for review and comment before finalising

Justin has come up with a plan to totally renovate our garden to meet our requirements and requests. His professionalism is exceptional and his knowledge of the environment, the location etc. meets all the best standards. Justin has been very helpful in providing affordable options to meet our budget at the same time adding value to the property.… We cant wait to get started on the transformation of our garden. We have no hesitation in recommending Regenerative Designs Australia to anyone who wants to give their garden a makeover be it minor or complete. We thank Justin for the amazing results

Due to budget restrictions my home reno is being done in stages over a few years and includes a new low maintenance, native landscape garden. Privacy planting was an important design factor and Justin's plan has allowed me to plant out areas in stages to ensure when the renovations are complete the privacy planting will be established and on budget. The garden already looks fantastic and the plants are thriving thanks to the thoughtful choice of varieties suitable to our Sunshine coast garden. Justin is professional, easy to work with....a great investment!

Justin was great to work with and he was happy to take all of our preferences into account with his design. We needed a garden which had to be beautiful and functional, but also safe and disability friendly. The design Justin came up with is wonderful and I am really looking forward to enjoying the garden for many years to come.

As first time builders and homeowners we were inexperienced in any type of gardening but we were adamant that we wanted a chemical free garden. Justin's ability to gauge our needs, capabilities, likes and dislikes in design while sticking to our budget was remarkable. His professionalism, hardwork, extensive knowledge and passion exceeded our expectations and he was so flexible and honest in helping us keep costs down. We now have a unique beautiful sustainable garden that has made our home complete.
