Rob Fallon – Landscape Architect of IDA – has been designing gardens for over seventeen years. A philosophy of site responsive design and the creation of landscapes that are sustainable and aiming to be low input dependent forms a foundation to our work. This has outworkings in the preference for selection of low water use plants. Garden Design in compliance with NSW Basix legislation in regard to gardens is a regular service provided.
The style of garden (formal, naturalistic, cottage, etc.) is dependent on the context, the landscape architects advice and the clients preferences.
