Meet Our Founder

Andrew Whyte

With 30+ years of experience in the landscape design industry,
Andrew’s developed a keen passion for nature and beauty. Over the course of his career, he realised that his purpose in life is to help more people experience the pleasures of the great outdoors. Why? Because he knows that connection to nature is vital to our well-being.

“Nature has the power to deliver human beings a sense of freedom and calm – and I genuinely believe that there’s more joy to be had outside than inside. It’s a hectic world for most of us and the need for a sanctuary is vital to our sense of well-being. That sanctuary is your garden.”

Andrew works closely with our expert team to turn your design vision into a functional masterpiece. Upon completion, you’ll be inspired by a garden that allows you to connect with nature, yourself and your loved ones.

Zeb did a great job of producing a wonderful landscape design that complimented the sloping block and lifestyle. Andrew Mills and the team did a great job onsite to produce a fantastic result. We are loving the garden and surrounds.

Fabulous experience from concept to completion. Andrew Whyte and designer Zac were very receptive to our specific brief, and presented flexible and innovative ideas which drew us to some exciting directions. The design and construction process was well explained and documented throughout. Delivered on time to an exceptionally high standard. A special shout out to landscape architect Zac for his brilliant mid-century inspired, bee-friendly design, and for the super friendly landscaping team who worked on our property, always with a can-do, respectful and consultative approach. We can't wait to see how the garden grows over the years. Six months on and the garden, crazy paving and deck area is already giving us great delight with little maintenance. Highly recommended!

I have no hesitation in recommending Whytes Gardens. They project managed and executed renovations to both our front and back gardens including a new concrete pool and spa, 10m deck including outdoor kitchen and couch space, louvre roof, auto blinds & heaters - plus landscaping, concrete around pools and paths, lighting, reticulation and grinding back our driveway! The results are awesome and we love it. Particular thanks to Andrew M, Zeb, Connie, Andrew W and Lachie! Also to Laguna Pools for our fab new pool.

Andrew & his entire team from the very onset have been fabulous to work with. Always available , helpful & most professional. It was delightful to hear. & see all the chaps so very happy working together. From the first initial inquiry, Whyte Gardens have delivered everything l could have possibly hoped for. The updates explaining the steps & background information was most comprehensive. Nothing was too much , everything was thoughtfully drawn & explained in detail . With all garden projects, flexibility is the key to create a wonderful outcome. The team embraced the challenges & along the way suggestions were presented to me. I have nothing but gratitude & respect for the entire Whyte Garden team from Andrew Whyte to supervisors, garden designers, plant consultants to the hands on construction team. I have waited a very long time for my own personally designed garden. Don’t wait too long to have your dream garden. I can be found wandering around my treasured garden, my happy place. Photos to follow. Thank you Whyte Gardens. Shelley
