Beechworth

Canopy Design Studio specialize in crafting landscape designs that honor the natural beauty of a site while showing our appreciation of the tapestry of history found in heritage rich town’s like Beechworth. We strive to seamlessly weave together the ancient landscape with the more recent echoes of History.

Our work on private properties in the Beechworth and Stanley area gives us experience working on established gardens that need renovation, while maintaining their original character and story. Large rambling gardens can be an overwhelming project to tackle, we have the experience to walk clients through this process to give them back an enjoyable garden that does the history and character of the site justice.

Connection to the greater landscape and country is an important aspect of our work and our local knowledge of endemic indigenous and native species allows us to give back to the country we work. Exotic and traditional garden styles of the Victorian Era can also thrive in the harsh contrasts of the seasons in Beechworth’s climate. We love taking advantage of the opportunities our cool climate provides us with the use of deciduous colour, herbaceous perennials and seasonal changes in texture, form and colour.
