Founder
Hi, I'm Melvin.
In 2021 I started working closely with landscaping businesses across Sydney. What I found changed everything.
Genuinely talented people building real businesses but carrying it all alone. No one in their corner who actually understood the industry. No proper support for the business side of what they do.
So I built The Landscaping Agency. And I haven't looked back.
Today I work with owners right across Australia, sitting down with them, going through their numbers, their team, their pricing, their plans. Not as a consultant. As someone who's in this industry every day.

Coaching for Sydney landscapers who want to scale
We help landscaping owners build stronger systems, lead crews with more confidence, and scale without losing control of delivery quality or cashflow.
I work one-on-one with landscaping owners across Australia to spot what's really happening in your business. We pinpoint what's off: profit vs revenue, hours vs plan, and hiring, then fix what's blocking you. We review pricing, margins, team, and time, then work together until it's fixed.
Real Fixes, Real Results
Clean systems, steadier crews, and measurable gains you can trust.

PricingFixed quote vs cost-plus for landscaping jobs: which should you use?
Both methods can work well — and both can destroy your margin if you use them in the wrong situation. Here is an honest breakdown for landscaping construction businesses.
PeopleWhy your landscaping crew needs a leader — not a mate
Wanting your crew to like you is natural. But in a landscaping or garden maintenance business, being too friendly with staff is one of the most common reasons owners lose control of their team — and their business.
OperationsVariations and extras: protect margin before the shovel hits the ground
How to scope, price, and document changes so extras help the job instead of quietly eroding it.
