We’ve been treading lightly with our earth conscious landscape designs since 2018.
We’ve called Cooranbong NSW our home for over 10 years now, and we couldn’t be luckier to live in such a beautiful small community. But living in a small town doesn’t mean our ideas aren’t big!
Meet jon
Jon has been in the landscape and horticulture industry for over 20 years. He started in a retail nursery in his original hometown of Sydney, which was eventually purchased by his family. With the nursery as a ‘base of operations’ he built up a successful gardening maintenance business, which soon grew into landscape construction.
Whilst continuing to run a team of 5 and a database of over 50 customers, he completed training in Horticulture, Arboriculture and Landscape Construction. After the family sold the retail branch of the business in 2017, the business was relaunched as Looking up Landscapes and relocated to Lake Macquarie.
Having started his career in plant and garden care, Jon has a strong commitment to designing Landscapes that best celebrate the plant life and ensuring that the gardens they sit in will stay looking their best with minimal human intervention.
meet bel
Following her career in Occupational Therapy and mothering, Bel joined the business in 2018 assisting in the office, a job that has rapidly become a full time project!
With a background in Health and disability, Bel brings a strong commitment to designing gardens that are made for living in, embracing the age, stage or ability of the person who owns it.
With 5 children and a menagerie of pets, Jon and Bel value landscapes that are robust, grounded, and provide a strong connection to the natural environment.
