About My Acre, an Owner-Operated Specialist Stockist

My Acre is an owner-operated specialist stockist for a curated catalogue of architect-grade outdoor brands across Australia. We are not a big-box retailer and we are not a marketplace. We work with every client directly, from the first enquiry to aftercare on the piece years later.

My Acre is for the homeowner who loves their space, and for the designer who specifies for clients who do.

The founder story

Why My Acre exists

I started My Acre because I love my own home and the spaces around it. I believe other people do too. With my business partner, Tim Jagger, we built My Acre to share genuinely high-quality outdoor brands with homeowners and designers who want their spaces to last.

How we work

I deal with every client directly. If you want to talk through a fire pit, a pizza oven, or a pergola, you speak with me. Tim runs operations and logistics in the background. Between us, we only stock brands we would put in our own homes. Architect-grade, built to last, no compromises.

What we believe in

We only stock brands we would put in our own homes. Architect-grade. Built to last. No fast-fashion outdoor furniture, no cheap copies, no compromises.

The brands you see on the catalogue are the brands that pass that test. The ones that do not, are not here. That standard is the editorial filter for everything we carry, from EcoSmart Fire to Polito and Valoriani pizza ovens, Blinde Design concrete furniture, Winter Gardenz greenhouses, Kustom Pergolas, Ochre Living modular fireplaces, and e-NRG bioethanol fuel.

We grow with our partners

My Acre is built on partnership, both directions. Upstream, we grow with the brands we stock, championing them across Australia. Downstream, we grow with the architects, designers, builders, and specifiers who return to us project after project.

Relationships, not transactions. That is how we built this business and it is how we grow it. See the Trade Account Program for the trade side; speak with Hayden direct for upstream partnership enquiries.

Who we work with

Two audiences, treated equally. The brands we carry suit both because the standard is the same in either room.

Audience one

Happy homeowners

People who love their own home and the spaces around it. Indoor living rooms, courtyards, terraces and backyards. Owners who buy a fire pit, pizza oven or pergola for the way they want to live, and want it to last.

Audience two

Architects and designers

Interior designers, landscape architects, builders and developers specifying outdoor pieces for client projects. Architect-grade material spec, manufacturer warranties honoured direct, and a trade program for ongoing work.

How My Acre actually works

Specification is the first conversation. Hayden walks you through size, finish, freight and site access on a call, and briefs your builder or designer where one is engaged. The pieces are ordered against your specification. Freight is insured nationwide, with the largest pieces coordinated on a dedicated carrier. Aftercare continues for the life of the piece, with manufacturer warranties lodged and managed by us so you are not chasing factory contacts in Italy, New Zealand or Australia.

See the Why My Acre page for the structural reasons we work this way, and the Warranties, Returns and Claims, Delivery and Shipping and Installation pages for the policy detail by vendor.

The catalogue we curate

The catalogue is intentionally small. Eight makers, each chosen for a clear position in their category and the standard they hold over a decade of use, not a season. EcoSmart Fire for bioethanol fires, pits and tables. Polito for handmade Melbourne pizza ovens since 1988. Valoriani for refractory ovens built in Tuscany since 1890. Blinde Design for Fluid Concrete tables and planters. Winter Gardenz for hand-built polycarbonate greenhouses from Victoria. Kustom Pergolas for motorised louvre pergolas custom-built in Australia. Ochre Living for modular pumice fireplaces. And e-NRG for premium bioethanol fuel.

Every brand on the catalogue is one we have stood behind personally. The brands that did not make the cut are not on the site, and never will be.

Where to start

If you have a project in mind, the most efficient first step is a call. We confirm the right piece for your space, the freight position for your address, and the timing that suits your build. If you would rather browse first, every product page carries the same specification level you would expect in a maker briefing, including the warranty term, the installation requirement and the delivery time. The Why My Acre page sets out the wider position; the trade program covers ongoing work for design and construction practices.
