Design through Communication!

Site Links


Blackwood Designs was founded in 2005. Our mission is to provide a high standard in all aspects of our work, inject a certain flare suitable to the site and client, develop living, intimate, usable spaces and to ensure the functionality of each design. We have continued to build a steady Client base in both Residential and Commercial projects


  • Design Philosophy
  • The Client brief, Site Analysis, Genus Loci and financial considerations provide the foundation for each Design be it a small planting plan, new garden design or complete refurbishment. The Design or Garden layout should provide an immediate impact on owners and user by combining elements from hard landscaping details to planting details. The main objectives are to provide spaces or elements which grow and add new interest over time and that also develop with users as their needs change.
