Andrew Brenchley started Everything Outside in March 2014 and has since then transformed more than 130 outdoor spaces into beautiful places of physical and mental activity.
As a father of two boys, Andrew’s early playground designs were inspired by watching his son’s interact with the natural environment as well as seeing their reaction to equipment in public playgrounds on the Gold Coast.
Andrew’s observations resulted in a passion for building unique play spaces where children can be their own teacher, where calculated risk taking is encouraged and friendships can flourish in play.
As the Chief Executive and chief designer, Andrew holds an impressive portfolio of qualifications for outdoor playground constructions. He designs unique playgrounds to meet the exacting briefs of prestigious clients whilst fully complying with Australian Safety standards.
Beautiful landscaping will elevate a school for teachers, students and parents. Everything Outside can transform tired areas of a school into a landscaped stunning learning environment whilst being a place of calm and reflection.
When you create an environment of nature play at your school the rewards will be delightfully surprising. Students are drawn into a role play environment based on natural materials such as wood, rocks, water and sand.

Creating a new playground is an inspiring project for an entire school community and we know a show-stopping play space leads to increased enrolments.
Creating new outdoor learning facilities at your school is an exciting project. Globally, the benefits of outdoor learning is well documented in research papers. In Eastern Australia, we are so fortunate to have a climate that makes outdoor teaching possible most of the year.
When the child’s imagination is activated the body follows, naturally seeking the next challenge, the next adventure. This can be done safely whilst still extending the child’s abilities.
When new families walk into the grounds of a school the playground is a visual feature that will create an impression on the parents and prospective students.
