Testimonials
“Our residence is located on the Brisbane River in Highgate Hill. This presented a number of challenges for our landscaping project, which involved remediating an area adjacent the river which had been adversely affected by the floods in 2022.
Paul developed an innovative design concept that made the maximum use of the riverside setting. He then managed the tender process and monitored the work of the selected contractor. His organisational and communication skills through this process were outstanding.
It was a complex project but the exceptional design and project management skills that Paul displayed meant that the project was delivered on time and on budget, and we achieved an outstanding outcome that we are extremely pleased with.”

“Paul did a great job on our acreage block at Mount Tamborine. This is our forever home, so we were after some short-term improvements along with a long-term master plan (and we may have also been a little bit particular). He designed a new pool area, outdoor structures, and plantings. We are adjoined to the rainforest and wanted to blend our new trees and areas into this, and Paul's knowledge and research on how to achieve this with native species was exceptional. We are super happy with what Paul delivered.”

“I'm the founder and managing director of my own building and design company. I've had the pleasure of engaging and collaborating with Paul at LANDSCAPE workshop on a number of projects in the region and have always enjoyed the process. Paul is a good listener, deep thinker, great collaborator and exceptional designer. His ability to transition between scales, from fine detailing to broadscale master planning is valuable to projects of all sizes. His understanding of site, architecture, and the construction process are invaluable to the team in bringing the process together in a site-specific, unique and compelling way. I'm excited about the prospects of working together now and in the future, and highly recommend the practice to any potential client or land owner.”

“We engaged Paul at Landscape Workshop to create a masterplan for our property. From introductions to relevant professionals, site visits to properties with like-minded projects to a thorough assessment of all the microclimates and zones of our own property, Paul provided us with the information and inspiration needed to pull our years worth ideas into one succinct plan. We would highly recommend Paul and the team at LANDSCAPE workshop!”

“Paul and his team did an amazing job designing and overseeing the building of this outdoor cabana and landscaping around the existing pool. So many challenges with the local terrain to overcome, not to mention floods, pandemics and supply chain shortages. But the results are simply spectacular and just in time for summer. Paul really tries to understand the people involved along with the space and intended use which was the focus from day one. Working with local materials also helped give character to the design and connect the project to the surrounding environment. Paul has a real passion and personal attachment to the outcome and I am very satisfied with the result. Would 100% recommend him for others looking at similar projects.”
