In this episode I speak with Tristan Pierce of Tristan Pierce Landscape Architecture.
Tristan is based in Western Australia and does some of the most amazing 3D renders of his projects that I've seen.
We discuss his design process as well as how he got into the landscaping industry.
A few days after the interview, Tristan won a few awards at the WALDA Awards (West Australian Landscape Design Association)
I highly recommend checking out his Instagram @tristan_pierce and see how realistic the 3D renders look

The Landscaping Podcast - Ep10 - Jade Child - Tassie Artificial Turf
In this episode I interview Jade Child from Tassie Artificial Turf.
Jade started out as a landscaper and then saw an opportunity to focus predominantly on artificial turf. And now he spends the majority of his days installing artificial turf in Tasmania and doing landscaping to fill in the quieter months.
Jade travelled to the USA in 2019 to attend a seminar run by the Synthetic Turf Council, of which he is a member, and we discuss that trip and what he learnt over there.
We also discuss the value in zeroing in on a niche rather than being a Jack of all trades.
Jade can be found on Instagram @tatrufguru for his business account, or if you're wanting to see the challenge he was taking part in, which we briefly discussed, head to @skipchild36
