These weird little guys might look (and smell) pretty wild, but I get excited every time I see them. Fungi like this are so important, they form incredible networks within the soil that help plants communicate, absorb water and access nutrients.

Wood chip mulch is perfect for encouraging them, and spotting mushrooms popping up is always a great sign of healthy, living soil. Even the ugly ones are doing awesome work. šŸ„šŸ„

You know itā€™s a big job when the trestles come out! šŸ˜‚

Today we tackled two absolutely massive hedges.. this is just one of them. I gave both a solid side and top reduction to make them so much easier to maintain from now on.
No more fighting overgrown nightmares every year. The customers are stoked and my bodyā€¦ well, letā€™s just say itā€™s feeling every single cut šŸ˜‚

Huge thanks to the lovely clients for trusting us with their garden. šŸŒøšŸŒæ

Spent some time today giving these olive trees a bit of love šŸŒæ

Nothing too drastic.. just a light prune to tidy them up, some fertilizer, soil wetter, and fresh mulch rings to help them along.

Also had some unexpected company while I was working, a few little creatures popped by and honestly made my day. One of those little reminders of why I enjoy being outdoors doing this kind of work.

Not every job needs to be a massive transformation... sometimes itā€™s just about keeping things healthy and heading in the right direction šŸ‘

Iā€™ve had quite a few people ask me recently if I only work in ā€œhigh-endā€ gardensā€¦ and the answer is absolutely not šŸ˜Š

While Iā€™m proud of every larger or more detailed project I take on, the truth is I get just as much joy from helping everyday people fall back in love with their normal gardens.

Not every garden needs to be show home perfect. Sometimes it just needs a tidy-up back to bare bones, ready to start again with plan to make it easier to manage. I genuinely love assisting people who just want to enjoy their space again... or simply a garden that doesnā€™t feel overwhelming anymore.

If youā€™ve been wondering whether your garden is ā€œtoo simpleā€ or ā€œnot fancy enoughā€ to ask for help, please donā€™t hesitate to reach out.

Every garden matters, and every person deserves to enjoy theirs šŸŒæ

Whatever it takes šŸ˜…

Not every job is pretty, sometimes youā€™ve just gotta do what works.

Some days itā€™s careful pruning and plant health checks.

Other days itā€™s standing on the ute with a pole saw because that Bouganvillea has got to go.

This is what a day in the life of a horticulturalist looks like, not glamorous or easy, but it gets results.

These Lilly Pillies came to me looking a bit wild, but after some serious attention to detail, theyā€™re crisp, symmetrical, and full of that classic topiary elegance.

Every cut is deliberate ā€¦no shortcuts here. The kind of precision and clean lines that only come from years of hands on experience shaping gardens just like this one.

So proud of how these turned out! What do you think? ready for a garden glow up at your place too? šŸ˜Š

One of my favourite projects!

I had so much fun putting this kitchen garden together. From planning the layout, to planting everything, itā€™s so rewarding to see it come to life.

A bit of care, attention and some hard work can really transform a space, now itā€™s not just a garden, itā€™s somewhere you can grow, cook, and enjoy fresh produce straight from the backyard. šŸ…šŸ„¬
