Our Philosophy
Where Precision Meets Purpose
For over two proud decades, Contemporary Landscapes has stood steadfastly by its core principle, creating outdoor areas that are as precisely crafted as they are practical.
Through striving for what we call millimetre-perfect execution in every project, where your beds are level, your decking is flush, and your wall is plumb, you enjoy more than just beautiful craftsmanship. You benefit from an environment that lasts, functions exactly as it should, and meets all required industry standards.
This means you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your outdoor space, with the invaluable reassurance that only comes through knowing a job has been done perfectly, completed with pride, and with only the best quality materials.

Your Vision Joins With Our Expertise
Contemporary Landscapes came and helped us figure out what was wrong.
We had a few issues with plants dying year after year. Couldn’t seem to get it right, but Contemporary Landscapes came and helped us figure out what was wrong. They planted new shrubs and plants that are more suitable for this section of our back yard and everything’s coming along nicely.
Susan, Mernda
Chris and his team did great work on our property.
We set the bar pretty high with a lot of work to be done, including paving our old driveway and building two massive retaining walls. It all came out looking good and they finished on time. Many thanks.
Frank & Isabelle, South Morang
Very happy with the work & would highly recommend talking to Chris before hiring someone else!
Let me start by saying that I already had a quote for our project that we were about to move forward with. Then I was referred to Chris by a friend. He came out to our place the next day, came up with a better plan, and then quoted nearly 20% less than the other guys.

Adding Value to Your Property

As many of our satisfied clients know, working with us is more than just aesthetics, genuine quality landscaping is a powerful investment.
Building a new deck, installing a retaining wall, or creating an immaculate commercial premises frontage increases the kerb appeal and functionality of homes, and the professional image projected by businesses. These additions typically bring substantial returns on investment, usually exceeding the initial cost.
That’s why every project we’re involved in, residential or commercial, is crafted with longevity and value in mind. Not only how it looks the moment it’s completed, but how it lasts, performs, and works with your premises as the years pass. Expert workmanship, exceptional materials, and attention to detail are priceless.
