Take a closer look at completed residential and commercial landscapes by Phillip Merrett Landscapes, showcasing skilled landscape construction in Melbourne, careful project management and finishes designed to suit each property.
Great Landscaping Brings the Whole Property Together
A well-built landscape does more than complete the area outside a home or commercial property. It connects the architecture with its surroundings and creates outdoor spaces that are practical, comfortable and made to last.
Our latest project reel brings together a selection of completed work by Phillip Merrett Landscapes across Melbourne. Each project has its own character, shaped by the property, the setting and the way the space needs to be used.
From premium residences to commercial sites, our team approaches every project with the same focus: thoughtful planning, quality construction and careful attention to detail from start to finish.
Skilled Landscape Construction Across Melbourne
Phillip Merrett Landscapes is a family-owned company with more than 40 years of hands-on experience in landscape construction in Melbourne. We work across Toorak, South Yarra, Armadale, Malvern, Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Canterbury, Balwyn, Brighton and other established areas throughout Victoria.
Our completed projects show how strong landscape design and construction in Melbourne can add structure, character and value to a property. Every element is considered as part of the wider environment, rather than treated as a separate feature.
Our work can include detailed stone walling, precision paving, retaining structures, planting, drainage, decking and an efficient irrigation system. We also work with natural stone pavers and other premium materials chosen to complement the architecture and perform well in Melbourne conditions.
From the Design Plan to the Finished Landscape
Behind every finished outdoor space is careful coordination. Phillip Merrett Landscapes works with homeowners, business owners, landscape designers, architects, builders and specialist trades to keep each project moving in the right direction.
Good project management is especially important on detailed residential and commercial sites. Access, levels, drainage, construction sequencing and material installation all need to be managed properly. Our experience helps us solve these practical requirements while protecting the original design intent.
This approach has made us a trusted construction partner for garden design and landscaping projects across Melbourne. It also allows our team to deliver the level of finish expected from luxury residential landscaping in Melbourne.

Phillip Merrett Landscapes: Premium Residential Landscapers in Melbourne
Phillip Merrett Landscapes is a family-owned landscape construction company delivering finely crafted residential gardens across Melbourne’s most distinguished inner-eastern, eastern and bayside suburbs.
Led by Phil Merrett and backed by more than 40 years of hands-on experience, our team works closely with homeowners, landscape designers and architects to build enduring outdoor spaces with precision, integrity and respect for the original vision.
A Family-Owned Premium Melbourne Landscape Construction Company
Phillip Merrett Landscapes is a highly respected, family-owned business specialising in premium residential landscapes, complex hard landscaping and carefully resolved soft landscaping. Established in 2000 and based in Briar Hill, Victoria, we bring decades of practical knowledge to properties across Melbourne.
Our work is grounded in a simple principle: a beautiful design deserves equally considered construction. Every level, junction, material and planting detail must contribute to a landscape that feels right for the home and performs well over time. That standard guides our approach from the first site discussion through to the final finish.
For clients seeking experienced landscape construction in Melbourne, our team offers close personal involvement, clear communication and the confidence that comes from generations of knowledge on site.
More Than 40 Years of Hands-On Experience
Founder Phil Merrett brings more than four decades of landscape construction experience to the business. His reputation has been shaped by technical ability, practical problem-solving and an exacting eye for detail. Phil understands how to interpret sophisticated landscape plans while responding intelligently to the realities of the site.
Phil works alongside Justin Merrett, who contributes decades of construction knowledge and consistency, and Joshua Merrett, who combines modern methods with the family’s established values. Together, Phil, Justin and Joshua provide a stable, experienced team that remains connected to every stage of the build.
This continuity matters on high-value residential projects. Decisions can be made carefully, design intent is protected and workmanship remains consistent across excavation, drainage, paving, structures, planting and finishing details.
Craftsmanship You Can See and Quality Beneath the Surface
A successful landscape depends on much more than its final appearance. The work below ground gives every visible element its strength and longevity. Careful excavation, stable foundations, considered drainage and an efficient irrigation system all support the garden’s long-term performance in Melbourne’s changing climate.
Above ground, our capabilities include precision paving, detailed stone walling, retaining structures, terraces, pool surrounds, pathways, decking and integrated outdoor living areas. We work with natural stone pavers and other premium materials selected to complement the home, garden and architectural character of the site.
Our experience as paving contractors and landscape builders allows us to anticipate how materials will weather, how water will move through a property and how each element should connect. The result is a garden that looks composed on completion and continues to feel established as it matures.
Recognised for Professional Landscape Delivery
Phillip Merrett Landscapes has developed trusted relationships across Melbourne’s landscape industry, with completed work documented by respected industry platforms and suppliers.
A high-end Toorak project featured by Specifier Source was designed by Anthony Trumble of Designer Gardens and expertly installed by Phillip Merrett Landscapes. The project incorporated custom pavers and rebated step treads in Tumbled and Acid Washed Glenferrie Limestone supplied by KHD.
KHD Landscape Solutions also mentioned a Melbourne pool renovation completed by Phil Merrett and the Phillip Merrett Landscapes team. The project transformed an ageing inner-city backyard with Bluestone coping, curved detailing and Bluestone paving laid around the pool and driveway.
These documented projects reflect the collaborative standards, material knowledge and construction precision we bring to designer-led residential landscapes.
Our reputation has grown through the quality of the finished work and the way each project is managed. Homeowners and design professionals value a construction partner who listens closely, communicates directly and takes responsibility for every detail.
Luxury Residential Landscaping Melbourne
Phillip Merrett Landscapes serves established residential areas across Melbourne’s inner east, eastern suburbs and bayside. Our project locations include Toorak, South Yarra, Armadale, Malvern, Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Canterbury, Balwyn and Brighton, along with selected properties throughout Victoria.
These suburbs contain a rich mix of heritage homes, contemporary architecture, formal gardens and compact urban sites. Each setting calls for a tailored response. A Toorak residence may require highly detailed stonework and formal geometry, while a Brighton property may demand materials and planting suited to coastal conditions. Homes in Kew, Hawthorn and Canterbury often require sensitive construction around established architecture, mature trees and layered gardens.
Our local experience helps us manage sloping land, tight access, drainage constraints and exacting architectural details. It also ensures the finished landscape belongs to its property rather than following a standard formula.
Premium Gardens Made for Living
The most successful residential landscapes balance beauty, function and permanence. They strengthen the relationship between the house and garden, create inviting places to gather and make daily life outdoors more enjoyable.
Phillip Merrett Landscapes brings this balance to every project through thoughtful collaboration and disciplined construction. From garden design and landscaping coordination to natural stonework, planting and complete outdoor living environments, each element is built with care and a clear understanding of the whole property.
