Crafting Timeless Gardens That Transform the Way You Live
Tired of your old backyard?
You deserve a living, breathing extension of your lifestyle, designed with balance, purpose, and tranquillity.
Hey there, my name's Christian Jenkins
I craft award-winning outdoor spaces across Melbourne that bring harmony, movement, and lasting beauty to everyday life.
The Difference Between a Garden and a Landscape That Moves You
Most homeowners dream of a beautiful garden yet end up with something that looks good for one season and fades the next.
The truth? Great landscaping isn’t just about plants and pavers. It’s about connection.
We combine over 20 years of experience, native plant knowledge, and seamless landscape construction to create spaces that evolve beautifully over time, from Malvern East to South Yarra and beyond.
“Truly the vision, quality and skill is beyond my limited capacity to explain.”
— Patricia Durdin

Testimonials
A rock star landscaper!... Over three months, rain or shine, he and his crew worked hard to meet the brief - a low maintenance, beautiful garden that is hardy enough for two big dogs. Christian's rock techniques and the magic he coaxes from his machines is something to witness.
He delivered an impressive result and within budget. I would highly recommend him, with no reservations.
Rock on!
Yifat Glikmann-Johnston
I engaged Christian to create a Japanese inspired garden and I couldn’t be happier with the result, at every stage of my project I found Christian and his team a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.
I love my new garden
Shane McIlvain
Christian and his team listened carefully to our garden vision and worked with us to bring it to life. What started out as a very uninspiring, dull courtyard is now a lush, tranquil and inviting wellness area for us to sit in and enjoy. Christian was enthusiastic, positive and had ideas that came together beautifully to make an area we will enjoy for years to come. We recommend him to anyone wanting to design and create a fabulous garden space.
