An Ocean Shores Landscaper Who Knows the Coast

It's a place people move to for a slower, coastal way of living, and the garden is a big part of that. But coastal exposure in beachside pockets, sandy soils near the water and windy hillside conditions further up mean landscaping here needs a little more thought than a standard suburban garden.



Gondwana Landscaping & Stone brings landscape design, construction and stonemasonry together under one roof. No handing your project between separate contractors, no gaps between what was designed and what gets built. One team, one vision, from the first site analysis to the last plant in the ground.

  • Landscape Design

    Garden design that starts with your site: a careful site analysis of prevailing winds, sea breezes, winter sun, summer sun and drainage, then a concept design and landscape plan shaped around how you want to live outdoors.

  • Landscape Construction

    Residential landscaping delivered with care: soil preparation, moving soil and earth mounding, drainage, retaining walls, steps and terraced areas, handled with the precision sloping coastal blocks demand. 

  • Stonework

    Rock walls, rockeries, stone steps, paving and fire pits, hand-built by Mark and our in-house stonemasons using natural sandstone and basalt rocks.

Hear What Our Byron Shire Clients Say

From the initial consultation to the final handover, our clients are extremely satisfied with the results.

 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mullumbimby Landscaping

  • What landscaping services do you provide in Mullumbimby?

    We offer end-to-end design and construction for Mullumbimby residential and commercial properties. We specialise in stone masonry using local materials, hand-carved for timeless natural stone features.

  • Why choose Gondwana for your landscaping project?

    Your landscape gets one team from start to finish, not three.


    Design, construction and stonemasonry all sit in-house with us, so the vision from your first sketch survives all the way to the last paver, with nothing lost between contractors. We've spent decades building across Byron Shire's hinterland and coastal properties, so we know how to handle a sloping, oddly shaped or genuinely difficult block, not just a flat, easy one.


    Our stonemasonry is a specialist skill on its own, one most landscaping companies don't have in-house at all. And every design starts from the land itself, what the site wants to be, not a template we drop onto it. If you're ready to see what your property could become, a design consultation is where that starts.

  • How much does professional landscaping cost in Mullumbimby and the Northern Rivers?

    Every property is different, so exact pricing depends on the scope of your project. Our design packages start from $3,300, and you'll get a clear picture of cost for your specific site after a consultation.

  • Do I need a landscape designer before starting construction?

    Yes, our landscape design process sets the scene for construction. A concept or intent plan gives your project direction before any earthworks begin, and it's especially valuable on sloping or larger hinterland blocks where the site shape drives the design. You'll receive 3D renders to visualise the outcome before construction begins. Our designs are available to homeowners requiring masterplans for their builder or for DA approvals with no obligation to build with Gondwana.

  • Are your landscapes sustainable and low-maintenance?

    You'll receive a call to talk through your vision and see if we're the right fit for the job. From there, we'll arrange a site visit with Founder, Mark Smith.


    Mark visits your property in person to walk the site, talk through your ideas and get a real feel for how you want to live in the space. It's a paid consultation, $180 for the visit, because it's genuine, focused time on your property rather than a generic sales chat.


    You'll walk away with clarity on what's actually possible for your site, a realistic sense of scope and budget, and the groundwork for your concept plan already underway. For most clients, it's the moment their vision for the property starts to feel real.

  • Do you work with difficult or sloping sites?

    Yes. Structural landscaping on large or sloping blocks is one of our specialities, and it's exactly the kind of site common around Mullumbimby's hinterland. Read more about our approach to sloping sites.
