n a world where a majority of us now live, work, and raise families in urban areas, the importance of creating aesthetically pleasing, tranquil landscapes and outdoor spaces is difficult to overstate. If done well, such landscaped spaces, whether wild and unspoiled, or chic and lovingly designed, contribute significantly to our well-being and quality of life. They enable us to reconnect with nature and provide our towns and cities with a much-welcome splash of green – indeed, this is an objective which is close to the heart of one of Australia’s industryleading landscape construction companies, Glascott Landscape & Civil. Where it was once a small Sydneybased landscaping business that served
only the residential sector, the company is now an industry giant with a footprint spanning Australia’s eastern states. But whilst Glascott Landscape & Civil is a true heavyweight in its field, its founder, Matthew Glascott, remains as committed to the values and ethos that underpinned the company’s success now as he did 27 years ago when it first opened its doors for business. “Our greatest reward is the public enjoyment of our work. That’s why we team with builders, developers, contractors, architects and Government bodies to deliver large-scale infrastructure, public works and commercial projects,” states the company’s website. It continues:
“We quickly grasp the complexities of the specifications for each project, develop an understanding of the task at hand and ensure we’re always clear on project objectives from the start. “Our aim with every project we undertake is to deliver on time while achieving industry best practice outcomes. We are ISO certified and also have certified QA and stringent OHS systems in place. Following the completion of a project, we can offer ongoing professional maintenance services through our partner company, ‘Marsupial Landscape Management’.” In business, hard work, drive, and determination are the building blocks for success. This is no secret, an office intern
knows this just as well as any member of a company’s senior leadership team. Another no less important attribute, of course, is passion. An attribute which is engrained root and branch throughout Glascott Landscape & Civil. Indeed, it is Matthew Glascott’s passion for the environment and nature – a bi-product of an upbringing that has seen him become the latest of a long line of farmers and graziers within his family - and infectious enthusiasm that has inspired the company to achieve what it has. Thanks to its network of offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Canberra, and a dedicated workforce more than 80-strong, Glascott Landscape & Civil
boasts unparalleled reach, not to mention an expansive portfolio showcasing the successful completion of countless civic and private sector projects for an array of clients. The company is well-regarded as a landscape construction specialist and it shows: having completed parks and playgrounds, open spaces, promenades and streetscapes, remedial environmental projects and infrastructure work, Glascott’s record of success operating across the broadest spectrum of the industry is indicative of its capabilities. With each client, Glascott’s team work closely and collaboratively with clients in order to truly see the project through the
client’s eyes, and then offer a superior customer experience which exceeds expectations. And make no mistake about it – whether a project is valued at $10,000 or in excess of $10million, the same highstandards of quality and customer care are invested. “Matthew and his dedicated team are committed to making sure that every Glascott construction project is completed to not only fit aesthetically with its surrounds, but to also minimise environmental impact and maintain each site’s natural integrity. “The company works with architects, building firms, contractors, developers and government departments and with

more than 80 staff, is one of the largest landscaping Contractors in Australia. Now with over 25 years’ experience in the complete construction and project management of high quality hard and soft landscapes, Glascott is also one of the most experienced. In that quarter of a century the company has earned a reputation for honesty, integrity, reliability and being easy to deal with,” stated the Glascott Landscape & Civil website. In terms of what the future holds, these are exciting times for the company. With work on large-scale projects ongoing, which includes the landscaping of the
facilities and stations along the route of the Northwest Rail Link, part of the colossal Sydney Metro project, and its involvement in City of Gold Coast’s preparations ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the coming 12-months will be another good year for business. And that’s without factoring in the numerous other projects that are in the pipeline. All-in-all, it is difficult to see how Glascott Landscape & Civil could fail to maintain its upward trajectory over the short to mediumterm. Thanks to its astute leadership and commitment to professional excellence, this company is certainly one to keep an eye on.
