The Cutting Hedge Landscaping and Garden Design

It took 5 minutes in Ron’s own garden to have me hooked. Such a quick delightful inspiration was both Rob’s garden and Rob. Rob who, in 10 days transformed and renovated our garden. Making it safe, enhancing our structures and ideas and lifting the garden to new heights. All done proficiently and we’re very happy with the result. He immediately knew how to uplift the garden to new heights and we can’t wait to see how it develops going forward. Very friendly and always up for a chat. We look forward to seeing his new concepts going forward.

For four years I had followed Rob online and watched him create beautiful gardens for people to enjoy. It was time for me to realise our own garden dream. From the moment I reached out to Rob, he showed great knowledge, passion and curiosity in the pursuit of bringing a new garden to life for us. Initially, we visited Rob’s beautiful garden at his home in Mount Martha and this gave us a first-hand experience of elements that we would like to include in our own garden. Rob then visited our space, where we discussed our brief and agreed upon a plan. Rob’s knowledge and experience as a qualified horticulturist and landscape designer combined with his communication, integrity and fine workmanship meant he was exactly the right person to trust with the task of completely transforming our garden into a space that we love. It brings me great joy to experience being in our garden, nurturing it and watching it grow.

Rob has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things botanical. He listened, ask questions and created a vision of what we proposed on his tablet. My small unappealing flat lawn space was transformed into a place of depth and harmony using swales, magical steps and an imaginative combination of plants. Rob is a very clean and energetic worker. He has an interesting and engaging personality. A pleasure to do business with. I now have a beautiful native garden to relax and enjoy.

Rob has created a beautiful garden that I enjoy to look at and the birds that visit. He has a lovely flare to knowing just where to place plants for the best effect. Thank you Rob for giving me this garden.

Rob is an exceptional landscape designer and horticulturist with an incredible eye for design. His emphasis on soil quality and understanding of the specific needs of the area set him apart from others in the field. Over the course of just five days, Rob completely transformed my disorganized, messy garden into a beautifully elegant space with a cohesive flow. What impressed me the most was Rob’s professionalism and passion for his work. He is respectful, enthusiastic, and truly listens to his clients’ needs and preferences. He provided expert advice throughout the process, ensuring that every decision was well-informed and tailored to my garden’s unique characteristics. I cannot recommend Rob highly enough. If you are looking for someone who combines technical expertise with creativity and care, Rob is the perfect choice to bring your garden vision to life.

From the first time we met with Rob at our design consultation, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and very easy to communicate with. Our front and rear yards were both in desperate need of a transformation and we entrusted Rob with designing and landscaping our yards. We were confident that the result would meet our needs and expectations. Our beautifully landscaped gardens created by Rob have certainly exceeded all our expectations with a result that was beyond what we had envisioned. Our gardens are now a place that fills us with happiness and will be thoroughly enjoyed by our family and friends. We have received multiple compliments from our neighbours and people passing by who have observed the transformation created by Rob. Thank you, Rob, from all our family who are now enjoying our beautifully landscaped garden, and we look forward to seeing the garden grow and thrive.

In May, 2025 we visited Rob’s own garden with our local Probus club. I was immediately struck by the ambience, harmony, function and its stunning design. On the spot we decided to engage his services. Our front and back gardens had been partially developed, but never completed. It consisted of dry stone walls, gravel paths, several large trees and numerous shrubs on a steeply sloping block. A challenging task!! Two days later we had an initial design consultation at our home. Our brief required off street car parking for four cars and the inclusion of native plants. Apart from that Rob was given a blank canvas. Using a software package he drew up his ideas. One main feature was to be the use of sawn granite pavers as a path to completely encompass the house. Other suggestions, which we took up, would require the services of trades such as plumbers, concreters and carpenters which we organized through Rob, using trusted tradespersons. On 2nd June and three days after our first meeting with Rob he started on site. On 18th July handover took place, 3 weeks before schedule. He does not sub contract the landscaping tasks and was on site every day. The result has exceeded all our expectations. Having read reviews left by other clients there is little left for me to add. Rob is a brilliant horticulturist, passionate about the job and dedicated to achieving the very best result for his clients. Rob is extremely reliable and professional and his work ethic is second to none but more importantly his knowledge of plants and advice offered has been invaluable. What totally amazed me was the speed at which Rob worked. We cannot wait to see how the gardens develop in the next 12-18 months and have no hesitation in recommending Rob to anyone wanting a stunning garden to enjoy. "What I am really going to miss are his cheerful early morning greetings and our friendly verbal banter throughout the day."
