Do you handle both landscape design and construction?

Yes. We manage the entire process from initial concept and design through to final construction and planting. One experienced team handles everything from start to finish.

How much does landscape construction cost in Byron Bay?

Every project is unique and costs vary depending on scope, materials, site conditions and the level of detail involved. We work across a wide range from focused garden transformations to full-scale prestige properties. The best way to understand what is possible for your budget is a conversation. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after an on-site visit and consultation.

Balinese Cabana and Tropical Landscape — Ocean Shores

Balinese-style cabana built into a natural rock shelf, surrounded by dense tropical planting. Jarrah hardwood decking, thatched roof, Ocean Shores.

Built On the Rock Shelf

The rock shelf on this Ocean Shores block wasn't something to work around — it was the reason to build here. Instead of levelling it out, the cabana is built on the existing rock, using it as the foundation for the whole space.

A Large, Open Timber Structure

The cabana is generously scaled and fully open-sided under a thatched roof. No walls closing it in — just structure, shade, and clear views through to the garden on every side. Jarrah hardwood decking matches the footprint of the cabana and extends it into one connected platform.

Lush Tropical Planting

The garden around the cabana leans fully into a tropical palette — agave, cordyline, narrow-leaf strelitzia, giant bromeliads and palms, layered for height and density. Deliberately lush rather than manicured, it softens the hard lines of timber and rock with genuine jungle-like growth.

The Result

A shaded, open-sided cabana built on the rock it sits on, surrounded by dense tropical planting that makes the rock shelf feel like it was always meant to hold it. Balinese in spirit, built for the Northern Rivers climate.

FAQ

Agave, cordyline, strelitzia, bromeliads and palms suit the Northern Rivers climate well. Once established they need minimal ongoing care — mostly seasonal tidy-ups rather than constant maintenance.
The rock was already there and worth keeping. It gave the cabana a natural, permanent foundation rather than a cleared artificial pad. Working with the existing land usually produces a stronger result than removing what's already on site.
It depends on the scale of the structure and how much site work is needed around the rock shelf. A site visit is the best way to get a realistic timeline.
