Highett sits inland of the bay, anchored by the Highett Village strip and a rapidly modernising housing stock — original 50s and 60s homes giving way to architect-designed contemporaries on subdivided blocks.

The suburb is denser than its bayside neighbours but the design ambition has caught up fast.

Building outdoor spaces for Highett homes

Highett’s recent subdivision pattern means we often work on narrower, deeper blocks where every square metre counts. Our Highett jobs lean heavily on clever zoning: compact pool placements, vertical screening for privacy from closer neighbours, multi-purpose decking that doubles as entertaining and lounging. Soils are heavier loam, drainage matters, and side-access constraints mean machinery planning has to happen at design stage, not on the morning of excavation.

Why Highett homeowners choose Shoreline

Because Highett blocks demand design precision — and our experience on tighter contemporary sites means we deliver gardens that feel generous even when the footprint isn’t.
