  Candeo Design was set up in 2006 by Brent Reid. Brent has worked in the landscaping industry for 14 years learning the ropes at Semken Landscaping whilst studying Horticulture at Burnley College and Holmesglen College. During his time at Semken Landscaping Brent worked in both the garden construction and the garden maintenance sides of the company as well as taking the leading hand roll on some specialized projects. Brent was lucky enough to be involved in the construction of some amazing Show Gardens at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show working with some of Melbourne (and Australia’s) best Landscape Designers. This is where Brent’s passion for Landscape Design was born. Brent moved into Landscape Design working under Jim Fogarty at Jim Fogarty Design for just over 3 years. During his time at JFD Brent had the opportunity to be involved with drafting designs of numerous Show Gardens as well as designing gardens for Backyard Blitz and worked as a design advisor on Burkes Backyard. Spreading his wings in 2006 Brent started Candeo Design. "Candeo" is a Latin word meaning "To shine white" or "Shine, Glow, Grow Brilliant" this has become the mantra for Candeo Design and the gardens it creates. Brent returned late in 2009 from a 3 year stint in the United Arab Emirates designing and constructing signature pools and landscapes throughout the UAE.
