Our Projects
Increased Outdoor Living Space
The Problem
Caroline was a client who contacted us with a common problem. She had a big enough block with plenty of space in the backyard, but the original patio was so small only a couple of chairs could sit comfortably.
Her house was built at a time when there wasn’t much emphasis on creating a functional dedicated outdoor living space. Caroline had no room for entertaining or to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends.
Our Solution
Consulting with Caroline, we understood what she wanted to achieve, and together came up with a solution. By clever expansion of the paved area, Urban Growth could then fit a large table and chairs and BBQ, but still leave ample lawn space for the children to play on.
The Result
After completing this large project, Urban Growth was thrilled to receive videos of Caroline’s family enjoying their new outdoor living areas. This was especially satisfying for Urban Growth as this project was completed just before lockdowns. By having an aesthetically pleasing and functional outdoor space, the whole family could happily spend their lockdown time using their lovely yard.
Our Consultative Process
Urban Growth’s usual procedure is as follows. After initial discussions with the client, we email them a sketch of the project to confirm and clarify both general and specific details. It is an easier process to change, delete or add elements to a proposed design at this stage. Urban Growth’s clients now have a clear indication of their project designs and costs.

“Lucas and his team are great. From the initial consultation Lucas grasped the concept that we had for our garden overhaul and turned our sketches into a design we are thrilled with. The work included replacing a retaining wall, paving, drainage and planting, all of which have transformed our garden and the way we use it. Lucas was flexible as we changed our minds about various elements along the way – he has a great rapport with his team and they work really hard. We will continue to use Urban Growth for garden maintenance and other landscaping and would recommend Lucas and the team to others.”
