Gaia Gardens: Over 20 years of North Shore gardens.

Over 20 years of North Shore gardens.

Great gardens start with good design.

Gaia Gardens is the landscape design practice of Peter Ciobo, working across Sydney's North Shore from Gordon.

Peter is a landscape design and project management professional with more than 20 years of experience, and a member of both the Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) and the Australian Institute of Horticulture (AIH). Over that time he has developed a practical, balanced design style — timeless textures and a select palette of plants — grounded in the fundamentals: site surveying, level changes, quality hardscape construction, plant selection and environmental management.

Every project is designed to make the best use of your land and to reflect the way you actually live in it. Plans are clear and usable, the documentation stands up to council, and the result is built to mature well and last.

What we do

Garden Design & Consultation

Design shaped around your site and how you want to use it. A measured approach to proportion, balance and a select palette of plants, from a small makeover to a full estate garden.

Pools, Decks & Outdoor Living

Pools, timber decks, patios and courtyards, outdoor kitchens, cabanas and pergolas — resolved as part of the garden rather than bolted on, with water features and ponds where the site calls for them.

Council DA Documentation

Clear, usable landscape plans, sections and elevations for development applications, plus the additional drawings and specifications construction certificates require. Documentation prepared for council, architects, builders and contractors.

Project Management & Planting

Installation managed end to end — sourcing and ordering plants and materials, lighting and irrigation, and planting selected for North Shore conditions to mature well and be easy to care for.
