Fantastic Gardens and their Creator

Richard Robertson, the name and creative powerhouse behind Richard Robertson Landscapes, was born and raised in Sorrento and has made the Mornington Peninsula his home ever since. He not only loves the area but knows it intimately. He has over 30 years of local landscaping experience and his portfolio can be seen any day of the week between Blairgowrie and Portsea. There’s a good chance that any one of the fantastic gardens you see there have probably been designed, constructed or inspired by Richard. At the 2014 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show Richard Robertson Landscapes constructed the Award winning James Ross ‘Peninsula’ exhibition. An achievement Richard is justly proud of.

His passion is to create gardens that you love to live in. Gardens that suit your lifestyle and your idea of paradise. Great landscaping and garden schemes revolve around “the big idea”. The power plants that hold the whole idea together. Whether you are into exotic plants, native and coastal indigenous or a more Mediterranean garden design, or even an English country garden, Richard Robertson will give you the best advice regarding plant selection, planting schemes and landscaping ideas. He will develop garden planting ideas that will ensure your garden looks great all year round, combining evergreens, with annual, grasses with trailing creepers and bright, dazzling flowers with gentle, soft ferns. Whatever your garden needs, Richard Robertson has garden landscaping ideas and planting scheme to not just fit the garden but inspire anyone lucky enough to spend time in it.
