Our Story
Our Story
Podology was established in 2010, by directors Liz Horton-Short and Nick Short.
Liz and Nick met outside of the landscape industry to find that they both had a passion for landscape and design. At the time, Liz was working as a Landscape Architect in the corporate sector, and Nick was studying Landscape Architecture.
Driven by their common goals and interest in landscape, Podology provides the platform from which Liz and Nick continue to inspire their clients, their team and each other.
Since its conception, the company has grown steadily and is fast becoming one of Sydney’s distinguished landscaping organisations.

Our Philosophy

Our Promise
To instill our passion and conviction in creating purposeful and sustainable landscapes.

Upon his return to Australia, Nick followed his interest in landscape design, deciding to hone his design talents by embarking on a degree in Landscape Architecture.
