Rich Heritage and Landscape is a specialised, extended family run business principled by 2 generations of the Rich family, Bernard and daughter Eleonore.
We deliver our services with discretion, skill and adaptability, and believe that the experience is as important as the outcome. Combined with our long-standing commitment to quality and creativity, this has seen the company grow organically from a small stonemasonry business into one of Melbourne’s premier heritage and landscape building practitioners.
While we understand and respect the various stakeholders involved in maintaining heritage buildings, we are not afraid to give frank project advice and make the tough calls. This well-established history of honest relationship building, means our clients are happy to continue to engage us as their first preference to handle Melbourne’s most culturally significant heritage projects, and to refer us to their wider network.

Our company was established in the mid 1990’s in Richmond as Cremorne Stoneworks. By the late 1990’s we were busily engaged on many of Melbourne’s iconic Bluestone public works. If you have walked on a Bluestone footpath in Melbourne recently, the chances are that it was laid by us!
This large volume of work put our business on a rapid growth path that saw us expanding whilst continuing to focus on the practice of random drystone and field walling into the mid 2000’s, and adapting our traditional methods into modern construction.
As our engagements in the heritage stream increased we started providing rope access services in 2008. This soon led to us expand our skill set into steeple jacking, lead, copper, sheet metal and wrought iron to provide a comprehensive set of heritage services.
Melbourne’s deteriorating heritage buildings soon saw our focus drawn to building scopes, repairs and the removal of liability issues, which further cemented our position us as the leader in our field.
While our heritage services have consistently been expanding, we still have a high demand for the construction of natural landscapes, using stone found exclusively locally in the peninsula.
As we start the third decade of the millennium, we are continuing to quietly expand our construction division, utilising the strengths of our heritage and landscape divisions.
