Our approach to gardening
is to work with nature, to create beautiful outdoor spaces that are suited to your micro-climate and don't rely on chemicals to maintain.
We chose the name Little Feet because the gardens that we look after and design are safe spaces for all little feet- children, animals, and native fauna (and we use electric tools, to keep our carbon footprint little too!)
We believe strongly that well designed gardens, suited to the micro-climate they are situated in, are better for you and better for the planet.
We wanted to do things a little differently than the industry standard. Where possible, we use electric tools to reduce our carbon emissions. We don't rely on questionable chemicals to solve pest or disease problems. Instead we treat the root cause of the issue in a holistic way to improve the plant's overall health- this is known as integrated pest management. Rather than pouring synthetic fertiliser on plants to encourage quick growth, we use natural products that create healthy soil, thus ensuring your plants are as strong and healthy as can be. We understand the importance of creating and caring for gardens that are havens for native insects, like the many species of native Australian bees.
We want Little Feet gardens to be safe, beautiful, usable spaces for you, your family, and any native critters out there.

our core ethics guide us
At Little Feet we want to lead with our values. We want to leave a positive mark on this Earth, and we believe that respectful, holistic gardening practices are the way forward.
As the climate changes we want to help you create beautiful, resilient outdoor spaces that will become low maintenance sanctuaries for you, your family, and all the other creatures that thrive in healthy, biodiverse gardens.
If you are overwhelmed and don't know where to start, but know you would like something that differs from the standard, we are here for you!

"The garden is now a garden to love, and we have had so many lovely comments from neighbours! We absolutely loved the plant suggestions- and it was a stroke of genius to get rid of the lawn!"
"Highly recommend!"

"Will has been doing our garden for the last six months and we couldn't be happier. He brought our lawn back to life and removed some awful plants that I thought we'd be stuck with forever, and is planting new ones. Will is always ver friendly and accommodating of the constant questions from my young kid who don't leave him alone. Highly recommend!"
