A different Approach

Hi, I'm Fred. Owner and Landscape Architect behind The Rustle.

Understanding and unifying visions

My approach involves deeply listening to your ideas, gently weaving them into unified designs that naturally align with your vision, ensuring a landscape that truly resonates.

Passion for soil and horticulture

With a bachelor's degree in horticulture and a passion for nurturing soil microbiology, I ensure your landscape is sustainable and vibrant, thriving in the local climate for years to come.

Local Expertise with a Global Perspective

While my journey includes collaborating on esteemed properties in Belgium, my focus is on bringing that level of sophistication to the unique coastal landscapes of the South Coast. My local knowledge, combined with international insights, allows me to create designs that are both innovative and perfectly suited to the local environment.

Client reviews

Fred at The Rustle was amazing. He did a fantastic job with our landscape design (both front and backyards on a large sloping block) and was brilliant to work with. He had a great understanding of Australian Natives and his concept drawing and 3D modelling skills were top notch. People comment on the front and back yard all the time now and we couldn't be happier with it. Highly recommend getting in touch with Fred.

He took pictures and measurements over multiple visits demonstrating his thoroughness and attention to detail. Setting timeline expectations and providing a detailed design plan, along with a planting guide, reflects professionalism and transparency. The option to discuss the finished design and make tweaks further enhanced our personalised experience.

Fred's flexibility in offering a range of services, from design-only to full project management, shows his willingness to accommodate various needs and requirements. Even though we opted for the self-installed option, Fred's continued interest and occasional visits to observe progress highlight his dedication to ensuring a successful outcome of our landscaping project.

Overall, Fred provided a high level of service, expertise, and support throughout the process, making our experience positive and rewarding.

Wendy Robinson

Frederic listened and understood every detail we conveyed about what we were after with our landscaping. When he came back with the initial concept plan, we were blown away. His attention to detail, knowledge of plant species and esthetics are second to none. We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Frederic and can't wait to see the finished product.
