Hey there, my name's Christian Jenkins
I craft award-winning outdoor spaces across Melbourne & the surf coast.
My philosophy with my landscape design is simple...
Intentionally slowing down to simply be, breathe, listen and appreciate the beauty of nature and life. Consciously creating space to relax, reflect, and integrate rather than being constantly busy or rushed.
Your garden should be your sacred retreat.
The Difference Between a Yard and a Garden 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 - to nature, to architecture, and to the quiet moments you want to create in your life.
A well-designed garden isn’t just decoration; it’s identity. It gives you meaning and purpose, but most importantly, it changes the way you experience day-to-day life.
Combining over 20 years of experience, native plant knowledge, and seamless landscape construction to create spaces that evolve beautifully over time.
“ Our neighbours and passer- bys have also commented on how wonderful the garden looks. Thank you Christian and Team.”
— Karla Harper

The reasons why getting a landscape design is important & how it benefits your garden project
A detailed landscape design is where your vision becomes tangible. It brings clarity to your ideas, showing how space, light, and texture will work together long before the first plant is placed. For homeowners, it’s the blueprint that transforms inspiration into confidence, with every curve, level, and planting chosen with purpose.
Thoughtful drawings prevent costly mistakes, ensure flow and function, and let you experience your future garden before it’s built. It's like a map; it gives you a clear direction. You get certainty with what you're getting, on time and on budget.

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.
