What our clients say
A lot of our work comes through referrals. Here's what families across SE QLD have written after we've handed back the keys to their gardens.
“These guys completely transformed our front garden, from an absolute mess, to a stunning garden. Now when I drive in my driveway, I don't have dead plants staring at me!K Hooper
From start to finish the whole team was nothing but professional, and just a really nice bunch of people to deal with. They offered advice on how to look after my new garden, and cleaned up the entire site before they left.
I highly recommend these guys!
Will be using them again!”
“We cannot praise highly enough the beautiful garden we now enjoy thanks to the team at Salt Landscaping. From the initial consult with Billy, who understood exactly the aesthetic and feel we were going for, the efficiency and detailed provision of the quote and visual representation of the concept, right through to the implimentation and installation of our garden, it was nothing but a delight to deal with Salt Landscaping. Thank you to Billy, Tim and their team Kate and Chris. If you want not only a beautifully created garden, but also engage a team who have vision and want to work with you, Salt Landscaping is the way to go. Thank you again.”J & M Bartlis
“I cannot express enough how happy I am with the service & final product from the team.R.Christensen
They brought my dream to life & made it such a fun process along the way.
Our garden is such a gorgeous piece in our new backyard, & it will be treasured forever! Thank you!”
Why homeowners keep choosing Salt Landscaping
Six things that separate us from the average landscaper, and why the families who hire us tend to refer us to their neighbours.
In-House Landscape Architects
Custom 2D and/or 3D design during the quoting process. Visualise your new space before you green-light the project. Most landscapers offer a hand-drawn sketch, or charge upwards of $5,000 because they need to outsource to an architect. Our landscape architects are in-house with 15+ years of experience.
Approach
We strive to perfect the balance of beauty with practicality and functionality. We think far beyond the post-install photos and imagine you and your family using these spaces for decades to come.
Commitment
An unwavering commitment to our customers, both in the quality of the work, and the quality of the whole experience. It's not enough to deliver a great landscape; we want you to tell your friends how fun the process was.
Pricing
Fixed-price projects for clearly defined outcomes. We never provide ambiguous time-and-materials quotes. We pride ourselves on being thorough so there are no out-of-scope surprises.
Materials
Wholesale agreements with the best quality landscaping suppliers in Australia let us provide premium materials that last decades, at a price point that's very reasonable.
Licensed & Insured
QBCC Licensed Structural Landscapers (No. 15583485) with $10M Public Liability, double the legal minimum. Retaining walls, drainage and hardscapes are regulated works in Queensland; we make sure your project is fully compliant and protected.
Founded by three dads with a shared passion for the Australian backyard.
Salt Landscaping wasn't born in a boardroom; it was born in our own backyards. As fathers to seven kids between us, founders Tim, Billy and Travis realised the most precious moments happened when the whole family was outside together.
Before Salt we built Cactus Culture, renowned for ultra-high-end architectural arid landscapes. We took the precision, material knowledge, customer service and design process from that pedigree and combined it with our passion for beautiful, functional family spaces.
"We don't just build gardens; we build the backdrop for your family's future memories."
Simple, stress-free, transparent.
Six clear steps from first enquiry to handover. No ambiguity, no surprise costs, no overseas call centres, and no charge for design.
Make an enquiry
Send us a quick note through the form. A few lines about the property and what you have in mind is all we need to start the conversation. One of the owners will typically be in touch within one business day.
Discovery call
A detailed discovery session with one of the owners. We talk through the property, your family's lifestyle and how you imagine using the space. You'll come away with a clear sense of what's possible and an honest budget band, before any design work begins.
Design
Our in-house designers translate the brief into a detailed plan, working from house & site plans, aerial imagery, geospatial data and a feel for the way your property lives. For most homes that's all we need. Site visits at this stage may be required for larger/complex projects.
Present and refine
We present the designs and invite your feedback. Primary schematics will be provided in 2D, with 3D visuals often provided to communicate key details, look and feel.
Proposal and fixed-price quote
Once the design is locked in, we walk you through a complete proposal and fixed-price quote. No surprise variations, no time-and-materials guesswork. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Bring it to life
From there, we bring the design to life. Delivered on budget, on time, and built to a standard that makes your garden the favourite part of the home.

Start your transformationCommon questions, answered.
Most of what people ask us before booking a consult comes down to these five things. If we haven't answered yours, the form below or a quick call always will.
How can you afford to offer free designs? +
Most landscapers either skip the design or charge $5,000+ to outsource it to an architect. Our designers are in-house, so we absorb the cost as part of our quoting process. We've found that nothing sells a project better than seeing the outcome before a single stone is laid, and a clear visual scope is the only way we can guarantee fixed-price projects with no hidden surprises. We consider design time an investment in our partnership, not a billable line item.
What's a realistic budget for a Salt project? +
Every site is different. Access, slope, hardscape volume, material grade, planting maturity and any structural or pool work all move the number, so a published price list would be wrong for most projects. On the discovery call we give you an honest budget band on the spot once we have enough detail, and after design we present a fixed-price quote with no variations.
Where do you work? +
All of South East Queensland: Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and everywhere in between.
How long does a project take from first call to handover? +
The design phase typically runs 2–3 weeks. Construction varies by scope, from 4 weeks for a focused garden rebuild up to 16+ weeks for a full design-and-build with hardscape, pool surrounds and mature plantings. We give you a firm timeline alongside the fixed-price quote.
What licences and insurance do you carry? +
We are QBCC Licensed Structural Landscapers (Licence No. 15583485) and Master Builders Association members, with $10 million Public Liability Insurance — double the legal minimum. Retaining walls, drainage and hardscapes are regulated works in Queensland; we handle the engineering, certification and council DA where required.
