Working With MJC Horticulture
MJC Horticulture supports a wide range of clients including architects, developers, builders, councils, schools and community organisations.
The consultancy is known for providing practical advice grounded in real industry experience. Michael Casey’s background in landscape construction, horticulture and technical review ensures recommendations are realistic and achievable on site.
Clients seeking support with urban greening initiatives benefit from guidance that considers both environmental outcomes and long-term maintenance requirements.
This balanced approach helps landscapes remain healthy, resilient and functional long after installation.
Consultations and Site Visits
Many projects begin with an on-site consultation. These visits provide an opportunity to review the landscape directly within its physical environment and discuss ideas, challenges and opportunities.
Consultations typically run for one to two hours depending on the complexity of the project. During this time, MJC Horticulture can provide guidance on planting strategies, soil health, irrigation planning and sustainable landscape design.
For clients planning new developments, these consultations can help shape urban greening strategies that integrate effectively with the overall design of the project.
For existing landscapes, site reviews can identify solutions that restore plant health, improve drainage performance or resolve ongoing landscape issues.
Supporting Sustainable Landscapes
Sustainability is a key consideration in modern landscape projects. Urban greening initiatives often aim to improve environmental performance while creating enjoyable outdoor spaces for people.
MJC Horticulture provides guidance on sustainable planting strategies, soil health, water efficiency and biodiversity support.
Through careful planning and horticultural expertise, landscapes can contribute to cooler urban environments, improved habitat and healthier communities.
Projects designed with sustainability in mind often become valuable long-term assets for property owners and communities alike.
Landscape Consultation and Project Support
A consultation with MJC Horticulture offers the opportunity to review your landscape project directly with Michael Casey. These sessions provide a structured review of the site, design intentions and technical considerations that influence successful landscape outcomes.
Consultations can support projects at many stages, from early design development to post-construction review. In some cases, projects benefit from independent auditing to identify issues that may affect long-term landscape performance.
Through careful assessment and practical advice, MJC Horticulture helps ensure that urban greening initiatives are both achievable and sustainable over time.
This guidance can be particularly valuable for projects involving rooftop landscapes, vertical planting systems, courtyards or shared open spaces where planting systems must operate within structural constraints.

Urban Greening Advice for Your Project
Successful urban greening projects begin with careful planning and a clear understanding of landscape performance. Whether you are developing a new landscape or improving an existing environment, early consultation can help identify opportunities and avoid costly challenges later.
MJC Horticulture provides practical advice for projects involving green infrastructure, sustainable landscapes and horticultural systems that must operate successfully within built environments.
Consultations can cover topics such as plant selection, soil performance, drainage considerations and the integration of landscape systems with surrounding architecture. The goal is always to create landscapes that thrive within their specific environmental conditions.
With increasing urban density across Australian cities, urban greening strategies are becoming essential for improving environmental performance and community wellbeing.
Urban Greening Across Australian Cities
Cities across Australia are increasingly recognising the importance of urban greening in creating healthier and more resilient communities. Landscapes that integrate planting, biodiversity and sustainable design principles can help improve air quality, reduce urban heat and support wellbeing.
MJC Horticulture works with project teams to integrate these principles into developments ranging from residential properties to large commercial environments.
Projects often involve green roofs, vertical gardens, biodiverse landscapes and outdoor spaces that reconnect people with nature. These landscapes contribute to broader urban sustainability goals while creating places that people genuinely enjoy.
International research and urban policy increasingly recognise the importance of urban greening in shaping healthier cities. Organisations such as Green Roofs Australasia continue to promote the adoption of green infrastructure solutions within Australian urban environments:
