About
Our story
You imagine it, we create it.
In the blood
Our Pop was a builder and draftsman with a huge love for Australian native plants. Our Grandpa was a joiner, and a very good one. Building and gardens have run through our family for a long time.
Two brothers, two trades
Matt started as an apprentice carpenter straight out of school and spent eight years with Weber Building Services. Jon took the landscaping path, finishing his apprenticeship with two landscaping companies, then joined Matt at Weber.
For three years we worked side by side, building homes and bringing landscape work in alongside them. That's where the idea took shape: one team that could build the house and finish the garden.
Starting small
With plenty of support and a few words of wisdom from family and friends, we went out on our own. In the early days it was just the two of us: decks, pergolas, landscaping, weeding, even the odd gutter clean. Word got around so the projects got bigger, and the team grew with them.
Growing, on purpose
Jack joined as our first apprentice chippy, then Mitch on landscaping and Blake as another apprentice. We got our full builder's licence and started taking on the projects we'd always wanted to build, and our youngest brother joined the crew too. We've been bigger at times, and found our sweet spot in a tight crew of six, small enough that every project still has us on it.
Still a family business, and still the idea we started with: one team, from the first plan to the last plant.
Process
What working with us looks like
From first idea to handover, here's how a project runs.
Planning
The best time to talk to us is early, while it's still just an idea. We'll help you think through scope, budget and what's realistic, and point you toward the right architect or designer for the project if you don't already have one.
Design & approvals
We don't design in-house; instead, we work hand-in-hand with your architect and consultants through the design phase, making introductions where they're needed and staying in the loop the whole way. Your architect usually handles council approvals, and we'll assist wherever it helps.
Costing
Once the drawings and specifications are set, we prepare a detailed cost estimate. We take this part seriously; with our team and trusted subcontractors, we cover all bases to get this right, then we sit down with you to walk through it properly.
Preparing to build
Once we have the green light, we'll arrange the contract and insurances, agree a start date with you, and send through everything you need to know before we begin.
Build
Alongside the directors, you'll have a dedicated site supervisor on your project for the whole build, one point of contact who's across every detail. As a true custom builder, we accommodate changes as far as we possibly can, and we meet on site at a rhythm that suits you.
Handover
Once the last trade has packed up, we give the site a full clean and walk you through the finished home and garden properly, so you know how everything works, from the irrigation to the lighting. After you've moved in, we're still a phone call away, and plenty of our clients bring us back for the next project.
