Working in a partnership with her landscaper husband, Sam, Emily speaks candidly about the pressures of business in general, but with the added layer of balancing work and life when there is a clear cross-over.
Touching on how to take a family holiday whilst leaving procedures in place, wills, insurances... all the un-sexy but vitally important information is discussed. Emily chats about what works, what doesn't, and why it is important to learn from each other and move forward when working with a life partner.

Father of four boys under 4yo and former Pro Wrestler, Kallee has taken irrigation installation to the next level. Starting as a landscaper but discovering irrigation along the way, he is a passionate  business operator always looking for creative ways to market his business including trying to get a sponsorship with Superboost (he loves it...our small studio smelt like watermelon with an open one on the desk!)

Swapping from studying Art, to Interior Design, Bethany still didn't discover Landscape Architecture until she was working in a furniture store and found herself bored by curtains. With a strong desire to keep studying she discovered Landscape Architecture.

Working for herself after a long stint with an established firm, it took some time for Bethany to find her own style but creating an emotional connection for the client with their garden by stripping back the design, taking every selection of every plant or material into consideration, she now comfortably pares everything back to the bare essentials and discusses this principle with Chris and Tyson.

After a false start with a Commerce degree, landscaping got its claws into Bronson and he worked his way through a variety of experiences to build the very successful Melbourne Landscape Co., specialising in commercial play spaces.
Taken aback by all the double handling in management systems and processes available and the heavy administrative requirements, Bronson was frustrated by current market offerings to run his business. So, he backed himself by selling his successful landscaping business and started on developing a new platform to allow landscapers to  quote easily and accurately, track productivity costs and most importantly, save time.
On the precipice of launching BuildHub 360, Bronson shares his journey and his passion to help other landscape businesses operate more effectively.
