Landscaping and garden care · Austinmer NSW 2515
Gardens that suit the escarpment, not a catalogue.
We design, build and look after gardens from Stanwell Park to Corrimal. Natives that cope with salt wind, paths that drain, and beds you can actually keep up with.

About us
We're Mia and Tom. Mia studied horticulture at TAFE Wollongong and Tom did ten years of hard landscaping before we started Banksia & Stone in 2014.
The escarpment is a hard place to garden. It's steep and wet in winter, then dry and windy in summer. We plan around that. Plants that won't survive go in the compost, not your garden.

Field notes from clients
They turned a weedy slope into steps and natives, and two years on it still looks like the day they finished.
Ruth · Coledale
Tom's quote was clear, they turned up when they said, and the green waste was gone the same day.
Dev · Thirroul
Mia picked plants for our windy front yard. Not one has died, which has never happened to me before.
