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.

FAQ

  • What areas do you service around Murwillumbah?

    We provide comprehensive landscape construction and landscape design services throughout Murwillumbah and the surrounding Byron Shire. Our team is experienced in managing the specific logistical requirements of both town-based residential properties and large, sloping acreage blocks in the rural outskirts.

  • Do you offer both residential and commercial landscaping?

    Yes. We deliver end-to-end landscape design and construction for both commercial properties and private residences. Whether you are a homeowner looking for a private sanctuary or a developer needing structural landscaping for a commercial site, we provide the same level of artisan quality and professional management.

  • How do you handle the high rainfall and drainage issues in Murwillumbah?

    The Northern Rivers is known for extreme rainfall, which can lead to significant topsoil loss on Hinterland slopes. We specialise in climate resilience by "sculpting" water paths rather than just diverting them. Using stone-lined spoon drains, swales, and permeable hardscaping, we create drainage solutions that look like natural creek beds while protecting your soil.

  • What makes your stonework different from other landscape contractors?

    Unlike "production" landscapers who may use pre-cast concrete blocks, we focus on the "Structural Art" of stonemasonry. We use locally sourced basalt, hand-sculpting each piece to ensure a perfect fit based on weight and face. This results in stone walls and retaining walls with an organic, monolithic look that is "anti-disposable" and built to last for generations.

  • Do you provide maintenance services like lawn mowing or weed control?

    Our expertise lies in landscape construction and major transformations for medium to large sites. While we do not offer standalone lawn care, lawn mowing, or weed control packages, we design sustainable gardens that are intended to weather beautifully with minimal intervention. We can, however, provide a landscape maintenance schedule to help you or a specialist gardener care for your new native plants.

  • Can you manage excavation and site preparation on steep Hinterland blocks?

    Absolutely. Most of our projects involve complex site preparation, excavation & earthworks. We are equipped to handle the "Big Scrub" with deep, erodible soil often found in the region. Our team manages the entire process, from initial soil testing and clearing to the final turf installation and tree planting.

  • How do you ensure the project stays on budget?

    We provide a transparent consultation process that acts as a roadmap for your project, helping to avoid "wasted space" and unfulfilled potential. While the nature of landscape construction can sometimes evolve, we pride ourselves on clear communication. 


  • Do you incorporate "lifestyle" features like fire pits and decks?

    Yes. We believe a garden should be a functional extension of the home. We regularly build decking and timber structures, fire pits, paving, and pergolas. By integrating these features into the initial landscape design, we ensure they flow naturally with your stone walls and indigenous gardens.

  • What is the first step to starting my landscaping project?

    The process begins with an on-site landscape design consultation. This allows Mark to assess your land’s orientation, soil type, and drainage needs while discussing your vision. This step is vital for removing guesswork and ensuring the final result is a cohesive outdoor sanctuary
