Craig McLachlan

Smart Landscapes is a full-service landscaping business servicing the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne’s Bayside and south-eastern suburbs. We offer landscape design, construction and ongoing maintenance under one roof, giving clients across the region a single trusted team from concept through to years of upkeep — consistent quality, clear communication and a garden that’s cared for as carefully as it was designed.

At the helm is Craig McLachlan, who brings over a decade of professional greenkeeping experience from some of the world’s most respected golf courses, including Royal Melbourne, Cape Kidnappers and St Andrews Beach. That grounding in turf science and horticultural precision now underpins Smart Landscapes’ design and maintenance work across the region, giving clients a level of technical rigour not often found in residential landscaping.

The Smart Landscapes team designs gardens to complement and enhance the architecture of the home, with an emphasis on quality plantings, considered hardscape, and gardens that are built to be lived in and enjoyed for years to come. Ongoing maintenance is treated as an extension of the original design — not an afterthought — ensuring every garden matures exactly as intended.

Smart Landscapes’ portfolio spans premium residential gardens and long-term maintenance partnerships with discerning homeowners across Mornington and Bayside Melbourne.
