Enterprise context
The company designs, installs and maintains landscaped settings for institutional and commercial customers. Delivery combines horticultural knowledge, irrigation, civil works, nursery sourcing, chemicals, equipment, seasonal labour and long-term maintenance. Assets are living systems: survival, establishment and appearance depend on soil, water, species selection, weather, care and customer-controlled conditions.
The business is expanding organically and through acquisitions. Project revenue can look attractive before plant replacement, establishment obligations, delayed site access, unapproved variations and maintenance mobilisation are fully recognised. Recurring maintenance contracts can also be uneconomic when water, labour, waste removal, seasonal replacement or service frequencies are underestimated. The Board seeks an Independent Director who can govern these lifecycle obligations while supporting a disciplined buy-and-build strategy.
Board mandate
The Director will provide independent oversight of water stewardship, species and nursery provenance,
chemical use, worker safety, project accounting, survival guarantees, contract economics, equipment, customer conduct, acquisition diligence and integration. The appointee must ensure that environmental claims are supported by measurable outcomes rather than visual presentation or planting counts.
The role requires site-level curiosity. Board information should distinguish installed plants from surviving, established landscapes; irrigation capacity from responsible water use; and signed maintenance revenue from contracts capable of funding secure, competent delivery.
Strategic and governance responsibilities
Govern design suitability. Review climate, soil, water, light, maintenance capability, root space, biodiversity, user safety and lifecycle cost. Aesthetics should not override site conditions or sustainable maintenance.
Protect planting provenance. Establish nursery approval, species
