Meet Darren & the Blake Landscapes Team
A family run structural landscaping business based in Frenchs Forest, crafting gardens that don't just look incredible, they work effortlessly for your real world family life.
Structural Landscaping, Planned and Delivered by One Accountable Team
Blake Landscapes handles structural landscaping projects from initial planning through to completion. Based in Frenchs Forest on Sydney's Northern Beaches, the business was established around Darren Blake's 20+ years of industry experience and his belief that outdoor spaces should be built properly, once.
The company's focus is structural landscaping and complete outdoor transformations: engineered retaining walls, swimming pool surrounds, decking, paving, and synthetic turf. Every project is delivered with an emphasis on quality workmanship, clear communication, and reliable project delivery, so you always know what is happening on your property and why.
As fully licensed and insured structural landscapers, we take the stress out of major earthworks, retaining walls, swimming pool surrounds, and council regulations, so your outdoor investment is engineered with the highest grade materials and genuine craftsmanship.
