Jamie’s Garden


    He is well known for offering a unique individual design to every
single client using combinations of modern and traditional materials
with variety both local and interesting imported plants in a wide range
of landscapes.
    His garden design works are inspired by clever and unique
Australian architecture particularly in natural textures that are not only
beautiful but functional. He incorporates sculpture and art but not for
art's sake. Rather he looks at the whole garden composition as a
piece of art in itself.

    The integration of indoor and outdoor living is one of our primary
aims and focuses and preference is given towards the use of natural
materials, owing to their inherent depth and timeless qualities.

    He believes that the true art is designing a garden that gives its
users a destination rather than just something to be admired from
a far.
