When you’re investing $10,000 to $50,000 into your home’s exterior, you aren’t just looking for a gardener—you’re looking for a specialist who understands the value of precision.
Elite Standards. Local Roots. National Experience.
I’m Matt, the founder of Focus Landscaping and Design. My approach to landscaping isn't built on guesswork; it’s built on a career spent at the highest levels of Australian horticulture and construction. From the manicured turf of world-class stadiums to the high-end residential markets of Western Australia, I’ve spent over seven years perfecting the art of the "outdoor masterpiece."
Before bringing Focus Landscaping to Regional Victoria, I cut my teeth on some of the most iconic sporting grounds in the country. Managing surfaces at Optus Stadium, The WACA, and Ascot Racecourse taught me three things that I bring to every Geelong backyard:
Big Stage Pedigree
Drainage Is King
If it works for a multi-million dollar stadium during a downpour, my drainage systems will work for your backyard.
Horticultural Precision
I treat your lawn and garden beds with the same scientific care used on elite playing surfaces.
Efficiency Under Pressure
I’m used to strict deadlines and "game-day" standards. When I say a project will be finished, it’s finished to a 5-star standard.
From Fremantle Luxury to Geelong Custom Builds
My time spent landscaping for high-end homes in Perth and Fremantle redefined my understanding of residential luxury. Those markets demand a seamless blend of architectural flair and rugged durability—a challenge I now solve for homeowners in the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula.
I’ve brought those Western Australian "Modern Coastal" standards back to my home state. I understand how to pair premium materials like natural stone and architectural hardwoods with the technical requirements of a new build or a complex knockdown rebuild.
Why Focus Landscaping and Design?
I chose the name Focus because that is exactly what I provide.
