Located in the picturesque Yarra Valley and surrounded by national park dominated by mountain ash forests, wildlife and a lush wealth of understorey, we find ourselves constantly inspired and connected to the landscape. We are a small family business with 17 years’ experience working in horticulture and extensive hands on experience in project management.
Our aim is to provide a one stop service where your outdoor living dreams are tasked to us, firstly to come up with an individual, beautiful and functional garden, and then secondly to deal with the process that occurs after the design phase, from tendering contractors, to sourcing materials, right through to construction/completion and handing over for maintenance. Simplifying this extensive process so that all you need to worry about is what colour umbrella you will put in your cocktail when you head into your new garden to relax. But of course if you choose to be involved we will customise to suit your preferences.
With a Graduate Certificate in Landscape Design – first class honours – from The University of Melbourne’s highly regarded Burnley horticultural campus, and under the tutelage of some of the countries finest Landscape Architects, as well as a Diploma in Horticulture and Prince 2 Foundation project management training, our head designer has all the key elements of landscape design and project management covered to ensure your new garden:
Looks the part year round
Is sustainable in the long term
Meets your needs – sounds simple, but yes, we make sure it’s your garden, not just our next Instagram post!
Is delivered on time and to budget.
