The Secret To Our Award-Winning Gardens? It's Not Just Design.
It's a concept called YUTORI.
Most homeowners assume that transforming an outdoor space is a two-step process: you hire a designer to draw the plans, and then you hire a builder to install them.
This is the expensive mistake that leads to disappointment.
When the person pouring the concrete isn't the same person who conceived the vision, a "disconnect" occurs. Nuances are lost. Materials are substituted. Generic solutions replace bespoke details. The builder blames the architect for "unrealistic plans," and the architect blames the builder for "poor execution."
The result? You pay full price for a compromised vision.
At Christian Jenkins Landscape Design, we refuse to work that way. We believe that true artistry requires Single-Point Responsibility.
The Unique Advantage of the "Design & Construct" Yutori Model
Christian Jenkins is not just a landscape designer; he is a hands-on creator. By integrating the design studio with the construction team, we offer a mechanism that general contractors cannot comprehend:
We Build with "The Designer’s Eye"
A general landscaper builds to finish the job. We build to perfect the aesthetic. Because Christian is involved in the construction, we spot the finer details that others miss, adjusting a paver angle by two degrees to catch the light, or shifting a retaining wall slightly to frame a view.
These are the "game-time decisions" that turn a good garden into an award-winner.
Zero "Translation Errors"
Great ideas need solid foundations. We are registered Building Practitioners and members of Landscaping Victoria. This matters because it gives you peace of mind. When we build decks, pergolas, or retaining walls, we build them to last.
Material & Budget Efficiency
When design and build are separate, waste is inevitable.
Builders over-order, or designers specify structurally inefficient materials.
Because we manage both, we are intentional with every dollar. We know exactly how materials perform in the Geelong climate, allowing us to value-manage your project without sacrificing quality.
Don't leave your dream landscape to chance. Choose the expert team that owns the outcome from the first sketch to the final plant.

Hear From Our Clients
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.
