Martin Cuthbert Landscapes

What Martin Cuthbert Landscapes does

Martin Cuthbert Landscapes is a Perth-based, privately-held landscaping company founded in 1985 by Martin Cuthbert, who continues to serve as Managing Director. The company provides integrated landscape design, construction, and ongoing garden maintenance services to residential and commercial clients across the Perth metropolitan area, with particular depth in Perth's Western Suburbs (Cottesloe, Claremont, Dalkeith, Peppermint Grove, City Beach, Floreat, Mosman Park, Nedlands, Swanbourne). Its workforce sits in the 11–50 employee band, and the company is headquartered at 33 Bishop Street, Jolimont, Western Australia.

In 2009 the company became a registered building company in Western Australia, a credential that allows it to self-deliver structural landscape elements such as alfresco areas, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, pools, garages, carports, and water features without subcontracting. Service lines include Residential Landscaping, Commercial Landscaping, Landscape Design (delivered by in-house landscape architects via a documented 10-step design process), Pool Landscaping, Garden Landscaping, Garden Maintenance, and specialized offerings such as Fytogreen vertical/rooftop garden systems (as authorized WA supplier-installer), rainwater harvesting, and smart reticulation/irrigation. The firm also holds memberships with the Landscape Industry Association, Housing Industry Association, Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers, and Green Roofs Australia.

Commercially, the company operates a sales-led, direct field-sales model with dedicated project managers assigned to each client, on-site consultations, and quote-based project pricing. Residential projects historically range from under A$15,000 to over A$70,000, while commercial projects start from under A$100,000. Revenue is generated through one-time project fees (design and construction) supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts. The firm is multi-award-winning at the Landscape Industry Awards between 1992 and 2004, including two "Landscaper of the Year" titles (1993, 1996), and conducts marketing through its website, blog, suburb-level SEO, Facebook/Instagram, email newsletter, and earned media from industry awards.
