Landscaping Byron Bay

Mark Smith, landscape designer and stonemason with close to thirty years of experience, is on site for every consultation and is your single point of contact through design, construction and planting. 

That means no juggling separate trades or separate quotes, and it means the stonework, usually treated as an afterthought, gets treated as the feature it should be. 

Clients regularly single out Mark's stonemasonry as some of the best they have seen.

Yes, we understand that not everyone has time to tend to their garden. That’s why we create low-maintenance gardens with hardy, drought-resistant plants, efficient irrigation systems, and designs that minimise upkeep while staying beautiful.

No. Plenty of clients come to us for the masterplan alone, then take it to their own builder, or use it to lodge a Development Application before deciding on construction at all. The design is yours to use however suits your project. There is no obligation to build with Gondwana.

This is where we spend most of our time. Much of the Byron Hinterland sits on reactive clay and red basalt, with sloping blocks, flood pathways and bushfire prone land all in play. We design and build with these conditions in mind from the first site visit, not as an afterthought.

Yes. We work with local builders and businesses across the Byron Shire on commercial landscapes, from structural landscaping and stonemasonry through to planting that suits a commercial maintenance schedule.

Our low-maintenance, high-impact landscapes are well-suited to a variety of commercial projects, including hotels, resorts, airbnbs, and restaurants.

Yes, and it is a bigger part of our work than people expect. 

Every project runs on a fixed-scope design, so there are no surprises; Mark is your single point of contact throughout, and we keep you updated at each stage so you always know where things stand. 

We've undertaken entire landscaping projects while the client was overseas and came home to find it finished to the same standard as if they had been here the whole time.

We service the whole of Byron Shire, including Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Federal, Ballina, Ocean Shores, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head, and Murwillumbah.

Yes. Many of our clients want a garden that thrives without weekly attention. We lean on locally endemic and drought hardy species, efficient drip irrigation and mulching, and designs that establish well and settle in with less upkeep over time.

Most projects run from 2 to 8 weeks on site, depending on scope. Larger acreage projects with significant earthworks or staged construction can run longer. We set out a realistic timeline at the site visit and keep you updated throughout.
