Patterson Lakes is unique on the Melbourne map — a planned waterways community where homes sit on private canals with boats out the back and direct access to Port Phillip Bay.

The outdoor brief here is unlike anywhere else we work.

Building outdoor spaces for Patterson Lakes homes

Canal-front blocks change every part of the design conversation. We work with water-edge planting that handles tidal influence, build pontoons and water-edge decking to council and waterways authority specifications, and design rear gardens that flow visually toward the canal rather than backing onto a fence. Soils are sandy with high water tables, which affects pool construction, retaining, and planting choices throughout. We use marine-grade hardware as standard, and we plan boat access alongside human movement through every layout.

Why Patterson Lakes homeowners choose Shoreline

Because Patterson Lakes is a waterfront landscape problem dressed as a suburb — and we understand the difference. Canal-front design needs a different skill set, and we bring it.
