Designing, building and caring for outdoor spaces across the Northern Rivers
Twirling Gum Landscapes offers landscape design, landscape construction and landscape maintenance across the Northern Rivers, with projects in Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Tweed and surrounding areas. We create outdoor spaces that feel beautiful, practical and well connected to the way people actually live.
Our work is shaped by the land itself — from slope, access and drainage through to planting, materials and long-term use — with a strong focus on natural materials, native planting and thoughtful, well-built outcomes.
A thoughtful, hands-on approach to landscaping
We bring together design thinking, in-house construction and ongoing care to create landscapes that feel considered from the beginning and enjoyable for years to come.
Whether it’s a full garden transformation, structural landscape work or the long-term care of an established space, our approach is grounded in quality workmanship, clear communication and outdoor spaces that truly suit the site and the people using them.
Across the Northern Rivers, we work on projects ranging from residential gardens and outdoor living spaces to larger rural properties, always with the same focus on practical, enduring results.
From our clients:
“Twirling Gum Landscapes' thoughtful approach to materials and design brought together sustainability, aesthetics and budget. We could not be happier with the result. Nothing was too much trouble for their team. They listened to what we wanted and exceeded it with their ideas, attention to detail, craftsmanship, and hard work. Value for money.”
— Leanne H. in Tweed Heads
Why clients choose Twirling Gum

Grounded in place
Working across Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Tweed and the wider Northern Rivers, we create outdoor spaces that respond to the local landscape, climate and lifestyle. We value materials that sit naturally within their surroundings, planting that suits the region, and outdoor spaces that feel easy to live in over time.
Where it makes sense, we also draw on regenerative and lower-impact practices — not as a separate story, but as part of creating landscapes that feel balanced, useful and connected to place.
Community involvement
Community and environmental care remain an important part of the Twirling Gum story, and support the way the business approaches its work.
By being part of the Seed Northern Rivers Giving Circle as a business sponsor, we are working towards grassroots change within our community.
Seed Northern Rivers (formerly Mullum S.E.E.D.) is a dynamic ecosystem of changemakers, organisations, and community groups dedicated to regenerating the environment and building resilience across the Northern Rivers.
Seed Northern Rivers’ theory of change is grounded in the belief that regenerative transformation emerges when local changemakers are resourced, connected, and empowered within a supportive ecosystem.
