What it costs
Every garden's different. Call or email us about the job and we'll talk you through what's involved and what it'll cost.
What we do
Some jobs need the whole lot, some need one wall done right. Either way it's our own work from start to finish.
Landscape Consult, Design and Construct. We'll sit down with you, work out what the yard needs to do, and draw it up before anything gets dug.
We've been excavating as long as we've been landscaping, so the heavy work at the start is done by us too.
Walls that hold a slope and look like they belong there.
The hard surfaces you'll walk on, park on and sit beside every day.
Timber that ties the house to the garden, and the finishing touches out the front.
Soft landscaping: Soil, mulch, turfing, plant selection and supply, with irrigation to keep it going.
Coastal gardens
A garden a few streets from the beach has a harder life than one inland. Salt spray and wind knock out plenty of plants that'd do fine anywhere else.
Our plants are picked by a qualified horticulturist, so what goes in suits the spot it's going into, whether that's a beachfront courtyard, a long side path or a big verge out the front.
“Exceptional beachfront transformation! Greg from Greenminded Landscapes recently completed a total garden renovation for our beachfront ground floor apartment in Kingscliff, and we could not be happier. Living on the coast means dealing with harsh salt spray and winds, but Greg used his incredible horticultural expertise to select plants that are both stunning and hardy. He balanced creative design with our budget perfectly. Greg is professional, highly skilled, reliable, turned up on time, and kept the site clean. Our stunning new gardens has completely transformed our outdoor living space. We highly recommend Greg for any high-end coastal landscaping projects!”
Our work
Pools and paving, sandstone walls, decks, paths and planting. Every one of these is our own job.
Design
Before anything gets dug, we'll draw it up. A concept plan shows the layout, levels, materials and planting, so you can see the finished garden on paper and change your mind while it's still cheap to.
Where it's needed, the plan comes with the details: tree protection zones, turf and timber edges, stepping stones, sleeper planters.
Then the same people who drew it build it. Nothing gets lost between a designer's drawing and somebody else's crew.
Sloping blocks
A sloping block makes a great garden once it's terraced properly. We do the digging, drainage, footings and walls ourselves, then build the steps, lawns and garden beds on top, so it's one job with one team from the first cut to the last plant.
How it works
Tell us about the yard and what you'd like it to do. Photos help.
We talk through what can be done and what it'll cost, and draw up a plan where the job needs one.
Excavation and walls first, then paving, decks and edging, then soil, turf and planting.
We can look after it afterwards too: lawns, hedging and garden maintenance.
About us
Greenminded is Greg Cooke's business. Greg has been landscaping and excavating since 2000. He's a qualified horticulturist & Landscape tradesman, which is why the plant list matters to us as much as the stonework.
After years building gardens in Sydney, we moved the business to Casuarina, just south of Kingscliff, and now work across the Tweed Coast.
We look after our clients from the first sketch to the last bit of mulch. Whether you've got a small courtyard or a big block, we'd love to hear from you, and we'll help you create a landscape that's beautiful to look at and functional at the same time.

We are incredibly happy with the outcome and highly recommend Greg as both a knowledgeable and creative landscaper.”
