About

LIMINAL is an award winning Newcastle landscape design studio founded by Tim McBurney. We provide high-end, innovative Landscape Design services to the Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney and Hunter Regions. Liminal recently won Landscape Designer of the Year for Emerging Designer at the LDI National Landscape Design Awards 2023 and Gold and Silver in two categories.

Liminal sees the integration of built and natural environments as crucial to our sense of place and our connection to our home. We seek to balance architecture and garden design with inner experiences of feeling and contemplation. Through thoughtful design, we tell the story of the site and the surrounding environment and enrich how we live within these spaces. Our approach is collaborative, working closely with architects, home owners and contractors to create harmonious and sustainable outdoor living spaces.

Beginning our journey in Melbourne, Liminal has grown northward, designing gardens for residential homes around Newcastle, Sydney and as far north as Byron Bay & the Gold Coast. Liminal seeks to re-engage people with their environment, to draw people in and to create spaces that reflect who they are and integrate their relationship to the world around them.
