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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can native landscaping increase my property’s value?


    Yes, and significantly so! 


    A thoughtfully designed native landscape enhances curb appeal, attracts eco-conscious buyers, and creates functional outdoor living spaces. 


  • How long does the design process take?

    The design phase generally takes approximately 3 weeks, encompassing initial conceptual sketches, a collaborative round of revisions, and the finalized Master Plan. However, this timeline is subject to external site factors.


    If a formal land survey is required to navigate complex elevations or boundaries, this can introduce additional lead times before our architectural work begins. 

    Since we prioritize a clear client brief at the start, this focused window ensures your vision is translated into a precise construction document without unnecessary delays.

  • Can you manage my design and build if I am currently overseas?


    Yes! Our team at Gondwana Landscaping and Stone knows how to strike the perfect balance between native species and exotic plants. 


    For example:


    • Use native grasses and shrubs as a backdrop to bold, exotic focal points.
    • Pair natives with stone masonry or water features for a harmonious mix of natural and modern.
    • Incorporate low-maintenance native plants alongside perennials for year-round colour and variety.

  • What are the environmental benefits of native landscaping?


    Native landscaping directly benefits the environment by:


    • Supporting Local Wildlife: Providing food and habitats for birds, bees, and butterflies.
    • Reducing Water Use: Native plants are naturally drought-tolerant, making them water-wise choices.
    • Minimising Pesticides: These plants are resistant to many pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments.
    • Improving Soil Health: Many native species enhance the soil’s structure and fertility.

    By choosing native landscaping, you’re not just creating a beautiful garden space—you’re making a positive impact on the environment.


  • How much does landscape design cost in Byron Bay?


    The climate in Byron Hinterland—is characterised by warm summers, high humidity, and occasional dry spells. Native Australian plants are


    • Drought-resistant: Designed to survive in dry conditions, they need less watering compared to exotic plants.
    • Resilient: They can withstand the salt-laden air of coastal regions like Byron Bay.
    • Adaptable: Native species naturally thrive in the diverse soil types found across the region, from sandy soils near the coast to richer soils inland.

    These features make natives a perfect choice for creating sustainable, long-lasting landscapes in Northern NSW.


  • When is the best time to start the design process?

    The time to begin is now, ideally while your home is still a sketch on a page or visioned on your Pinterest board. By engaging our architect-led team early, we can master the site's bones before the first slab is poured. 


    We look at the landscape holistically, solving for complex drainage, privacy, and elevation while weaving a seamless flow between your indoor sanctuary and the wild beauty outside. With our construction calendar filling for large-scale Northern Rivers projects, early alignment ensures your vision is secured.
