Connect with us

Hi, I’m Aaron. After more than 30 years running my own landscaping business, I’ve chosen to focus on what I call machine-led “Heavy Landscaping.”

So, what does that mean?
Heavy landscaping takes the principles of traditional landscape design — proportion, detail, and craftsmanship — and combines them with modern machinery to achieve precise, efficient results. The same care and attention go into every project, but the equipment allows us to do more, faster, and with exceptional accuracy. In the right hands, it’s a true force multiplier.

Of course, we still provide all the standard earthworks and site preparation services you’d expect.

Over the years, we’ve built a strong reputation for quality workmanship and exceeding our clients’ expectations. We’re proud that most of our work comes through repeat business and word of mouth, a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned.

The vision behind Ascend Earthworks is simple:
to deliver the highest quality outcomes for our clients while giving back to the community through knowledge sharing, industry partnerships, and collaboration with like-minded contractors and suppliers.

After decades in the trade, I know there’s no satisfaction in cutting corners. So feel free to get in touch to discuss your project — even if you’re working with someone else, I’m always happy to offer advice or a second opinion.

Aaron is a Registered Builder, licensed in structural landscaping and earthworks, and an active member of Landscaping Victoria.
