About Greenprint Gardens
Who we are and what we do best:


Our mission:
'At Greenprint Gardens we are dedicated and passionate about creating beautiful and functional outdoor living, learning and work-based spaces.
We believe in utilising the natural elements to sculpt and shape properties in ways that are sustainable, practical and aesthetically inviting.'
Our specialisation:
Greenprint Gardens is owned and operated by qualified landscaper Russell Cornelious. With more than 20 years experience in horticulture, landscape and landscape design, and civil construction, Russ has been involved in many large commercial, recreational and residential projects—from the installation of public tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds and public facilities to installing luxurious and grand scale garden designs for residential clients.
​
As a fully qualified landscaper, Russell has completed Certificate IV in Landscape Construction and Certificate IV in Landscape Design. He also won 'Student of the Year' for Landscape Construction at Melbourne Polytechnic and has an AgVet Chemical Users, Safe Chemical Handling qualification. With such extensive knowledge and experience in landscaping, gardening and property maintenance Greenprint Gardens specialise in customising projects to meet client needs for projects big and small. It is our goal to help people to realise the potential of their landscaping aspirations whether in the form of comprehensive advice, planning and installation, or simply implementing an already well-considered landscape design.
​
Based in the stunning Yarra Valley, Greenprint Gardens operates predominately within the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. However, we travel across Victoria to provide landscape solutions and property maintenance on a range of residential and commercial properties. Where required, we work with a range of specially selected business partners and sub-contractors to ensure the right expertise is accessible and utilised for each specific project.
​
Our core beliefs:
​
While we strive to embrace the natural qualities of plants and specific garden styles, we also carefully plan landscapes to incorporate and complement the style and characteristics of a property's buildings and natural setting. We often look to a location's man-made and naturally-built features for inspiration and gain the greatest satisfaction in 'rewilding' urban settings using native and indigenous species, as well as replicating tried and true landscape concepts.
​
We welcome the increased focus over the past few years regarding the benefits of green spaces on the wellbeing of people and the planet. When carefully planned, even the smallest landscapes—with the right plants and features—can bring enormous rewards such as natural heating and cooling solutions to match the seasons, water saving and drought-tolerant gardens and sustainable kitchen gardening, to name a few .
