Expert Landscaping in Tweed Shire & Northern NSW

SJC Landscapes is a trusted, owner-operated landscaping business based in the Tweed Shire region, servicing Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland. We specialise in creating functional, beautiful outdoor living spaces that encourage people to spend more time enjoying their gardens.

​

Our landscaping services combine practical construction with natural design, including pathways, fencing, decking, and complete garden transformations. We integrate soft landscaping elements such as plants, water features, and natural stone to create outdoor environments that are both visually striking and environmentally sustainable.

​

A key specialty of SJC Landscapes is the design and construction of custom ponds and water features. Our ecosystems are designed to mimic natural waterways, supporting native fish, local flora, and wildlife—bringing life and movement into your outdoor space.
