He worked mostly in England and Australia, designing many gardens including the Burnley Gardens in Victoria. Luffman also spent many years travelling and writing throughout Europe, especially Spain, and Japan. His designs were less traditional than his peers and believed in the use of both formal and informal design.

Luffman authored several books and discussion papers. These include the paper 'The Agricultural, Horticultural and Sylvan Features of a Federal Capital', which highlights his belief of the importance of a created landscape setting; and the book 'The Principles of Gardening for Australia', which made garden design more professional.
