At Contemporary Landscaping, we believe great outdoor spaces are built on craftsmanship, communication and genuine care. Meet the people who lead every project with passion, precision and hands‑on expertise.
Get to know us
My passion for outdoor living began early. At just 11 years old, I was working weekends in Mr. Bannen’s backyard and spending countless hours gardening with my mum. Those formative experiences sparked a lifelong love for landscapes and design.
In 2001, I began my Certificate IV in Horticulture and Landscaping, and before even completing my trade certificate, I proudly stepped into the role of foreman. Over the years, I honed my skills on award‑winning projects, perfecting my craft and building a reputation for quality.
By 2004, I launched Contemporary Landscaping with a vision: to bring clients’ ideas to life through detailed design and construction. Now, with more than two decades of industry experience, I remain a hands‑on owner, working directly on site, leading the team, and personally overseeing every stage of the build.
This hands‑on approach means I’m not just managing your project, I’m on the tools, problem‑solving in real time, ensuring accuracy, and maintaining the high standards our clients expect. It allows me to deliver clear communication, consistent leadership, and a smoother, more efficient construction process.
Strong client relationships are at the heart of my work, and I take pride in ensuring every project is managed with transparency, care, and precision.
