In Episode 151 of The Front Garden, Paddy joins Adam Hompas Landscapes
What does it take to build a landscape that continues to thrive long after the tools are packed away?
For Paddy Milne, owner of The Scape Artist, long-term performance starts with connecting design, construction, and ongoing maintenance from the beginning.
In Episode 151 of The Front Garden, Paddy joins Adam Hompas Landscapes to discuss working with Ballarat’s heavy clay, frost, and seasonal extremes, as well as the importance of drainage, thoughtful plant selection, and clear construction documentation.
He also shares an honest lesson from growing his team too quickly—and why steady, considered growth has created a stronger foundation for what comes next.
