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.

Verified Customer

Jamie Smallwood

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

  • What is native landscape design?


    Native landscape design focuses on creating outdoor spaces using native Australian plants and materials that blend effortlessly with the natural environment. 


    It focuses on sustainability, functionality, and supporting native wildlife while embracing the unique charm of your local area. 


    For Byron Bay and areas in Northern NSW, this style celebrates the beauty of native grasses, flower colours, and plants adapted to the region’s coastal and hinterland conditions.


  • Why should I choose native landscape design over other styles?


    Native landscape design offers numerous benefits, including:


    Low Maintenance: Native plants are naturally suited to the local climate and soil types, requiring less water, fertiliser, and care.


    Environmental Benefits: By using native species, you support local ecosystems, attract pollinators, and encourage biodiversity.


    Cost-Effectiveness: Because native plants thrive in the local environment, you’ll save on irrigation and maintenance costs in the long term.


    Timeless Aesthetic: With their vibrant textures and flower colour, native plants create a natural, cohesive look that evolves beautifully over time.


    Other styles may rely on high-maintenance exotic plants or artificial elements, which can demand more resources and upkeep.


  • Why are natives ideal for Northern NSW’s weather conditions?


    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.

  • 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.


  • Can I combine native plants with other styles?


    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 should I expect during a native landscape design consultation?
