We see landscapes as living systems shaped by time, people and place. Our work embraces their evolving nature, creating spaces that are grounded in context and meaningful to those who use them.

Evan Black

Evan entered the field of landscape architecture in 2006, building on earlier studies in industrial design that sparked his interest in materiality and the way people engage with their surroundings. This foundation continues to inform a practice grounded in clarity, observation and a deep connection to nature. His early experience spanned both design and on-site implementation. This gave him a practical understanding of how landscapes are made and how they endure. Across private gardens, multi residential projects and the public realm, Evan brings a thoughtful and nature led approach. He is drawn equally to process and outcome, recognising that landscapes evolve alongside the people who inhabit them. For him, design is an ongoing conversation between place, ecology and daily life. Evan has collaborated with developers, architects and government agencies on projects for Stockland, Frasers Property, National Parks and Wildlife and the Department of Planning and Environment. These experiences have strengthened his understanding of how landscapes function at different scales and how they can support communities in meaningful ways. His work is guided by humility and clarity. He values the natural systems already at play and believes well considered landscapes can quietly improve how we live. Whether shaping a courtyard or a broader urban interface, Evan focuses on creating places that feel grounded, responsive and alive to those who use them

  • We begin by immersing ourselves in the project scope and client requirements, and carefully analysing the brief. Through this initial phase, we develop sketch plans and progressively refine material choices and planting concepts. Our approach is characterised by a systematic consideration of site attributes, architectural context, and the unique lifestyle and aesthetic preferences of our clients.tion text goes here

  • Our expertise extends to a comprehensive suite of documentation services suitable for projects of varying scales. This includes the preparation of master plans, development application packages, CDC (Complying Development Certificate) packages, CC (Construction Certificate) packages, tender documentation, and thorough construction documentation. Additionally, we furnish detailed landscape specifications and materials schedules to ensure seamless execution of the design vision.

  • We specialise in crafting meticulous planting plans and schedules tailored to the specific requirements of each project. Our approach emphasises the integration of plant selections to enhance the overall design concept while considering factors such as climate, soil conditions, and maintenance needs. For large-scale projects, we adeptly manage pre-grow contracts to facilitate efficient implementation and long-term vitality of the landscape.

  • EBLA delivers its designs through construction for projects of an appropriate scale. For larger or more complex projects requiring tender, EBLA leads the contractor selection process and remains responsible for delivery through careful site inspections and close project supervision, ensuring quality outcomes from start to finish.

  • We source, procure, and install plants for your project. Leveraging our extensive network of trusted growers and nurseries, we procure premium plant stock tailored to your specific needs. From delivery to placement and installation, we ensure every plant is positioned for optimal growth, guaranteeing a vibrant and thriving landscape.
