Outdoor areas should feel like living space, not hard work.

Sun-Baked & Unusable Patios

You built or bought a home on the Coast to spend time outside, but direct afternoon heat turns your patio into a furnace for half the year.

Exposed to the Neighbours

Modern block sizes mean close neighbours. Without intentional screening, sitting outside feels like you're on display for the entire street.

Boring Lawns & Money Pit Gardens

Generic nurseries sell plants that look great on the rack but collapse in the Queensland summer, leaving you with dead leaves, big water bills, and endless weed pulling.

The Reality: A beautiful house with a poorly planned yard is frustrating to live in. Fixing mistakes on paper costs hundreds of dollars; fixing mistakes in concrete costs tens of thousands.

A woman with short hair and wearing a light-colored dress is standing inside a modern house, touching the glass window while looking outside at the mountains and greenery. The interior features a large abstract painting and a chair with a fur throw. The house has a minimalist design with white walls and large glass doors, opening to a view of mountains, trees, and a grassy landscape.
A narrow dirt pathway winds through lush green bushes and trees in a garden or park, with a large rock and ornamental grasses along the sides.

Native gardens built for Sunshine Coast comfort.

You don't need a high-maintenance lawn or thousands of dollars in trial-and-error plant purchases to get a beautiful yard.

At Regenerative Designs, led by Justin Nigh, we design outdoor spaces that work with the natural Queensland climate. By matching local native plant species to your specific property, we create lush green screens for privacy, funnel cooling breezes through your entertaining areas, and reduce your weekend maintenance to nearly zero.

Get clear answers on your property before you spend a cent on landscaping.

Avoid costly mistakes and guesswork. The On-Site Garden & Layout Strategy Session is a dedicated 90-minute working walkthrough on your property in Noosa, Buderim, Doonan, Peregian, Coolum, or Maleny.

Together, we’ll analyze your block’s sun angles, soil, breeze direction, and slope. We’ll map out exactly where your outdoor dining, lawn, pathways, and privacy screening should go.

Investment: $547 – $647 (flat fee based on location and site size)

  • "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. We could not be any happier with the finished result."

    —Ian & Jackie, Castaways Beach

  • "Justin is an efficient landscape designer with strong project management and IT skills. He has a thoughtful understanding of structure and space, creating outdoor areas that are unique to our property needs, low maintenance, functional, and aligned with both our timeframe and budget requirements. We would happily recommend ‘Regenerative Designs’ to anyone looking to establish a low maintenance, native garden that is sustainable, feels connected to place, designed to thrive."

    —Glenn Hentschel and Michelle Cochrane

  • "Here we are 12 months later - absolutely thrilled with the end result! Justin's creative design and plant selection is wonderful. People stop and stare (or slowly drive by sneakily taking videos!) The simple, but elegant native garden is exactly what we asked for, and is a testament to his professional expertise. Truly he has brought our property to life. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Justin."

    —V. Bressan

  • "Justin recently completed a fantastic master landscape plan for our rural property on the Sunshine Coast. From the onset, we really liked his professionalism and approach to the process. He was very structured, detailed and provided good insight into the reasoning for his design. He communicated well and regularly with weekly updates throughout the process. Justin's creativity was amazing with the selection and placement of natives carefully interwoven with fruit trees and vegetable gardens, together with bird baths, fire pits etc will provide a relaxing outdoor space into the future. The 3D fly-through was very helpful and brought the plan to life. We are so happy with the end result, we can't wait to start landscaping. Thank you so much Justin."

    —Wendy Jefferies

  • "Justin has done a great job designing our garden for my wife and I. We have utmost confidence in what he has designed and started working on the landscaping. It is best to have it designed before rushing off and starting to do things. Justin is always professional and prompt at replying to queries. You are in a safe set of hands. Justin is meticulous in what he puts together along with the details. It makes hiring contractors so much easier knowing exactly what is required. The design process allowed for us to provide feedback several times along the way before the final plan was drawn up - so we were able to design the garden exactly how we had envisioned it along with some additional features that we would never have come up with ourselves. Worth every penny. I highly recommend Justin!"

    —Russell M

  • "Justin was an inspiration to work with and has designed our dream garden. His level of detail is astounding and he first produced a flyover so that we could visualize our garden. His thorough plans benefited the landscaper enormously. Our young garden is mostly complete and we are spending far more time out in it and we are welcoming in the wildlife like frogs, lizards, many bird species and native bees. This morning the blue faced honeyeater was drinking in the nectar from one of the kangaroo paws."

    —Elizabeth Carrigan

  • "Justin recently completed a garden design for my property and I couldn’t be happier with both the process and result. Throughput the planning process, Justin listened to and made useful suggestions regarding all aspects of the garden plan. The 3D fly-through of the concept really helped me visualise how the garden would look. Along with that, the meticulously devised plans and details make the intent crystal clear for me and the local landscapers. I’m looking forward to seeing it all come to fruition in the coming months. Thanks Justin."

    —Jenny Gilshenan

  • "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!"

    —Sylvia Brereton

  • "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."

    —Dawn & Paul
