Not Sure What Your
Outdoor Space Needs First?

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin. You may have a larger landscape project in mind, or there may be a practical issue that needs attention first, such as drainage, access, overgrowth, damaged timber, a tired garden, or an outdoor area that no longer feels safe or usable.

Motion Landscapes helps you look at the whole property and work out what needs to happen next. We can help you understand your site, your priorities, your budget range, and the right starting point for the work.

Not Sure Where to Start?
You may know something needs to change, but not whether the first step is design, construction, repairs, maintenance, or site preparation.
Unsure What Your Budget Can Achieve?
Before committing to larger works, it helps to understand your priorities, site needs, scope, and what is realistic for your property.
Outdoor Space Not Working Properly?
Poor drainage, difficult access, overgrowth, damaged areas, or awkward layouts can make an outdoor space harder to use and maintain.
Want the Work Done Properly From the Start?
Outdoor works should consider how the space will be used, built, repaired, planted, accessed, and cared for over time.

Ready to Work Out the
Right Starting Point?

 

A landscape consultation gives you a clearer starting point before you move into design, construction, or ongoing property care. We can discuss your site, priorities, budget range, materials, and the practical steps needed to move forward.


Why Choose Motion Landscapes?

Motion Landscapes brings landscape design, construction, repairs, and property care together, so your outdoor space is considered from both a practical and long-term point of view. Based in Manly Vale, we work with Northern Beaches homeowners and property owners who need clear planning, careful workmanship, and outdoor areas that suit the way their property is used.

Design-Led Approach

Every project starts with understanding the property, the way it is used, and what needs to be resolved before work begins. A good outdoor space should not only look considered, it should make sense for daily life, access, maintenance, drainage, privacy, and the natural shape of the site. Motion Landscapes looks at these details early so the design direction feels practical, not just visual. This helps clients make clearer decisions around layout, materials, planting, staging, and budget before moving into construction, repairs, or ongoing garden care.

Built With Long-Term Value in Mind

Outdoor work should support the property well beyond the first few months. Motion Landscapes focuses on practical choices that suit the site, the client’s priorities, and the way the outdoor space will be used over time. This can include considering access, drainage, levels, materials, planting, garden upkeep, and the overall presentation of the property. The aim is to create outdoor areas that feel useful, manageable, and well considered, while also supporting lifestyle and long-term property value. Every decision should have a clear purpose, not just fill space.

Construction and Maintenance Under One Team

Motion Landscapes brings design, construction, structural landscaping, planting, repairs, and garden maintenance together, giving clients a more connected approach to their outdoor space. This matters because the way something is designed affects how it is built, maintained, and used over time. Our team can consider practical details early, such as drainage, access, levels, planting, materials, and future care. This helps avoid treating each part of the property as a separate job. Instead, the outdoor space can be planned, built, repaired, and maintained with a clearer understanding of the whole property.

Environmentally Conscious Choices

Environmentally conscious landscaping does not need to feel complicated. It can start with thoughtful planting, practical material choices, reducing unnecessary waste, and considering how the garden will be cared for over time. Motion Landscapes can support clients with planting, soft landscaping, Organic Garden Boxes, native beehive supply, and outdoor choices that feel more considered. This approach is about creating spaces that suit the property while respecting the natural environment where possible. It also supports gardens that feel purposeful, usable, and easier to maintain, rather than outdoor areas that look good briefly but become difficult to manage.

Property Buyers Agent

Work With a Team That
Looks at the Whole Property

Outdoor spaces need more than a good design. Access, drainage, levels, materials, planting, construction details, safety, and future maintenance all affect how the space works over time.

Motion Landscapes takes a practical view of the whole property, helping you understand what needs attention first and how the work can be planned properly.

We had a very tricky space that we wanted to utilise for a basketball court area. The original space had a huge cheese tree which was removed and we then required significant excavation with tricky access, moving and rebuilding a retaining wall, then building the slab and BBall area with Artificial turf. I had been trying to get different trades to quote for 6 months, and it was a nightmare. As soon as I reached out to Phoebe and Jethro, they made everything easy, we had clear scope and they provided detailed cost breakdown, and did exactly what they said they would do. All the workers were lovely, it was a big job, and their attention to detail was excellent (going above and beyond on some things that were not even strictly in scope) Communication was excellent throughout and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for any landscaping work, or even a backyard sports area. It's been 1 month and the kids are out there everyday shooting hoops.

All the team at Motion maintenance did such a wonderful job of trimming the Collaroy townhouse backyard which included four large 15 metre high Phoenix Palms, removing dead bamboo shoots that were at least three stories high and trimming Native trees that hung over the roof of the two story townhouse. On top of that they tidied all the small trees, Palms and bushes below. The whole gang was courteous, punctual and considerate in carrying out this large scale endeavour. I thoroughly recommend them for any of your gardening needs. Whether it’s a major job or continued maintenance, you could not get with a better team. Thank you Phoebe, Jethro, Dylan, and all the rest of the crew. Cheers Paul
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Paul — we are grateful for your feedback and kind words. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to helping you again in the future. – Phoebe & the Motion Maintenance team

Motion Maintenance were excellent at assisting us with some recent landscaping work involving, excavating, leveling, concreting and tiling. They worked seamlessly as a team with our plumbers and other trades on drainage issues and have uplifted the entire look of our backyard with some beautiful tiling work executed very well. Some key highlights included excellent communication, very approachable, tradies that were polite and nice to chat to, great attention to detail, any issues quickly resolved and that they were generally pleasant to deal with and have around. A truly rare find that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.
Response from the owner:Hi Drew, Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re really happy to hear you’re so pleased with the results. Coordinating with our tradies and seeing the transformation of your backyard was a rewarding experience for our team. Your kind words about our communication, attention to detail, and approachability mean a lot. We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the space, and we’d love to help again if you ever need us in the future. Thanks again for the recommendation!

The Motion Maintenance team were amazing to work with and they did such a fantastic job on our front yard and driveway that we had neighbours lining up for quotes! Jethro, Dylan, Phoebe and the whole crew were a pleasure to work with and we felt that we were in great hands. When we ran into unforeseen issues on our property (like plumbing being different from the Sydney Water diagrams!) the team were quick to get things resolved and moving again with their network of excellent tradies. You can tell that they deeply cared about their work and making sure we were happy with everything. They'll definitely be the first we call for any future work, thanks again guys!!
Response from the owner:Hi Craig, Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved working on your front yard and driveway and appreciate your trust in us, especially when challenges arose. It means a lot to know you felt cared for throughout the process. We look forward to helping you with any future projects! Kind regards Phoebe, Jethro, Dylan and the MM Team

Motion Maintenance have easily been the best to deal with and have such a friendly, communicative and professional approach.

Their work has been of a great quality and surpassed our expectations. Thank you Motion Maintenance, we can highly recommend them!

Phoebe, Jethro and Dylan are and have been an absolute pleasure to work with.Their Landscaping and decking skills are beyond reproach.

Jethro and his team came along when we were really in need of help to stay safely in our own home. It involved the challenging job of adding a safe path to a steep driveway. From our first on-site meeting I had confidence in Jethro’s knowledge and professionalism and that was well founded as I’m thrilled with the way the job has been completed. The level of workmanship is impressive and the communication throughout the job was very reassuring. I would have no hesitation in recommending the MMPS team. Cecily Cannon
