Testimonials

Sally Moore

 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.

Verified Customer

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.

Verified Customer

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.

I highly recommend Mark and the team at Gondwana for the full spectrum of professionalism and execution of any sized project.

Frequently asked questions

  • What makes Gondwana Landscaping different from other landscaping companies?


    Our point of difference lies in our commitment to creativity, sustainability, and client satisfaction. 


    We blend 20 years of expertise with a passion for native design, sourcing materials locally to create spaces that are not only stunning but also deeply functional and eco-conscious. Plus, we’re known for being on time, on budget, and easy to communicate with.


  • What types of landscaping services do you offer?


    At Gondwana Landscaping, we provide a comprehensive range of services designed to transform your outdoor space into a functional and beautiful sanctuary. 


    Here’s an overview of what we offer:


    Paving

    Choosing the right paver is key to creating a lasting and stunning surface. We guide you through selecting the perfect material and expertly install it on a compacted crushed metal dust and road base bed or a reinforced concrete slab with a classy grout finish.


    Retaining Walls (Timber or Stone)

    We specialise in natural hand-picked local stone, crafting both detailed wet walls with cement or dry-stacked walls that blend seamlessly into the landscape. We also build treated pine and railway sleeper walls for durable, rustic charm.


    Outdoor Lighting

    Lighting is essential for elevating any garden. All our lighting installations are soldered, heat-shrink wrapped, and connected to a transformer, ensuring durability and a well-lit, inviting space for evening enjoyment.


    Stone Flagging

    Whether you prefer local sandstone or basalt, or imported stone, we create stunning flagging laid on a cement mortar bed over a compacted road base subgrade to add timeless class to your outdoor area.


    Pool Surrounds

    From coping and paving to lighting, plant selection, and fencing, we design pool areas that are safe, functional, and stylish—helping you create the perfect outdoor oasis.


    Decks

    Extend your living space with a beautifully crafted deck. Built to Australian standards, we use premium hardwoods that, with proper care, will remain stunning for years to come.


    Pergolas

    Add shade, structure, or a unique design element to your space. Whether it’s a flat roof or an open structure for climbing vines, a pergola can be a show-stopping feature.


    Water Features

    From large natural stone installations to simple ceramic pot fountains, we create water features tailored to your dreams and space.


    Irrigation

    Keep your garden thriving with customised irrigation solutions, from manual systems to fully automated lawn pop-ups and garden drips.


    Garden Structures & Features

    From stunning corten steel garden art to large feature stones, we design and construct structures that make your space truly unique and memorable.


    Earthworks

    Whether it’s narrow-access projects or large-scale earthmoving, our skilled operators can handle it all, no matter the size or scope.


    Driveways

    We install paved driveways on reinforced concrete slabs and can also coordinate high-quality concrete driveways through trusted partners.


    Edible Gardens

    Create a space that’s not only beautiful but also practical. We incorporate fruit trees, culinary herbs, and edible plants to add a delicious touch to your landscape.


    Turf Installation

    From excavation and soil preparation to laying premium turf, we help you achieve a lush, healthy lawn with a personalised care guide included.


    Plant Selection & Installation

    We focus on local endemic species to ensure resilience in a drying climate, planting them in premium soil with fertilisation and a thick layer of mulch for longevity.


    Privacy Screens

    Block unwanted views or create stylish partitions using bamboo or Australian hardwoods tailored to your space and needs.


    Brick & Block Work

    From simple garden edging to reinforced concrete block retaining walls, our brickwork is precise and built to last.


    Each of our services is delivered with the utmost care, creativity, and attention to detail. Whatever your outdoor vision, we’ll make it a reality.
