Mark was a pleasure to work with and took my vision and added to it with his experience and knowledge. He was always pleasant, communicative and responsive and the final product is amazing. I would highly recommend him to work on any landscaping dreams you have.

Mark and his team did an amazing job landscaping an area for my sauna. He was professional, creative and a pleasure to work with. The results were beyond my expectations. And although we ended up using more materials than his quote called for, the time it took was less so overall the invoice was around 10% less than the quote!
I Would totally recommend Mark.

Janine Crampton
This is the second time Mark has done work for me and I wouldn’t go to anyone else for my landscaping needs. He really knows his stuff, understanding what I wanted even when I wasn’t quite sure myself, and was respectful of the limitations of my budget. His team is a pleasure to have around and I couldn’t be happier with the end result of their work.

Gondwana Landscaping- Hands down, best team in town! Mark takes landscape design to the next level, as far as art installations. Which will add that final touch to your property.
I had Gondwana transform my outdoor living areas; paving, fire pit, and gardens. Highlights being the epic stacked stone walls meandering through the gardens, Mark’s stone masonry skills are exceptional.
I highly recommend Mark and the team at Gondwana for the full spectrum of professionalism and execution of any sized project.
