PROUD MEMBER HIGHLIGHT | Evolve Environmental Solutions
From a degraded stormwater corridor to a functioning wetland and thriving habitat — the Providence Southern Wetlands project demonstrates the scale and skill behind environmental landscape construction.

Landscape Queensland Proud Member Evolve Environmental Solutions delivered extensive rehabilitation works across the site, including more than 172,000 native plants, 400 semi-advanced trees, 11,500m² of coir mesh, 2,250m³ of forest mulch and 150 fauna habitat zones.

Working around live waterways and constructed sediment basins, the team combined erosion control, wetland and riparian planting and habitat construction, while coordinating with civil and stormwater works. Significant rainfall and flash flooding added to the challenge, requiring damaged batters to be reworked and erosion controls reinstated as conditions changed.

What was delivered is a landscape designed to do much more than look good. Benefits extended to improving water quality, supporting biodiversity and creating valuable green space within the growing Ripley Valley community.

Evolve Environmental Solutions have crafted a great example of the important role LQ Members play in constructing and restoring Queensland’s natural environments.

LQ EDUCATION PROGRAM | AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF HORTICULTURE SESSIONS

As part of the LQ Education Program at the recent Greenscapes Expo, presenters from the Australian Institute of Horticulture (AIH) brought a strong horticultural focus to the conversation. Including…

Practical Plant & Soil Health for Better Gardens, Better Landscapes & Better Outcomes | Presented by Annette Irish, explored the relationship between soil health, plant performance and long-term landscape success. Educating attendees on the warning signs that can be overlooked in everyday landscape construction and maintenance, and how an understanding what is happening below ground can help prevent plant decline and create healthier, more resilient landscapes.

The Future Voices of Horticulture | Ash Walker, James Feez and Kira Platt-Behrens shared their own journeys into horticulture and highlighted just how diverse the career pathways within the industry can be. Exploring opportunities available to emerging horticulturists, including AIH scholarships and international programs such as the Global Footprints Scholarship they encouraged the next generation to make connections, keep learning and explore where a career in horticulture can take them.

The Importance of Increasing Biodiversity to Our Landscapes, Gardens, Nurseries & Garden Centres | Landscape Architect and Horticultural Consultant Arno King turned the conversation to biodiversity and the important role our industry can play in increasing the diversity of plants used across our landscapes. Arno explored why our planting palette is narrowing, the impacts of declining botanical diversity, and how the industry can increase biodiversity through plant selection, specification, cultivation and sales.

Thank you to Annette, Ash, James, Kira and Arno, and to the Australian Institute of Horticulture for bringing their knowledge, experience and perspectives to the LQ Education Program.

LQ EDUCATION PROGRAM | TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE SESSIONS

The LQ Education Program at the Greenscapes Expo, included sessions that support better landscape construction and better outcomes on site:

Concrete in the Landscape: From Mix Design to Finished Surface | Gregory van Rooyen from BG&E took attendees through the fundamentals of working with concrete in the landscape. Including mix design, joints and finishes, cracking and cost control to how decisions made at specification and construction stage can impact the finished product and its long-term performance.

When Walls Fail: Engineering Principles for Safer Retaining Wall Construction | With 42 years of Queensland project experience, civil and structural engineer Ching Meng Tan unpacked why retaining walls fail and the engineering and compliance principles contractors need to understand. Using real Queensland examples, they explored drainage, footings, surcharge loading and common costly mistakes.

Irrigation Workshop: Understanding What Happens When Water Leaves the Pipe | Stuart Alexander from Irrigation Australia brought irrigation into the practical mix, looking beyond the pipe to build a better understanding of how water behaves once it reaches the landscape and what that means for effective irrigation outcomes.

Wood That Endures: Everything You Have Learnt So Far Is Wrong | Edgar (Ted) Stubbersfield, International External Timber Design Consultant, challenged long-held assumptions about external timber. Ted highlighted the importance of careful design, detailed drawings and getting the fundamentals right to avoid common problems and achieve timber structures that endure.

Four different topics, but a common focus of providing landscape professionals practical knowledge to make more informed decisions, reduce avoidable problems and deliver better outcomes on the ground. Thank you to Gregory, Ching Meng Tan, Stuart and Ted for sharing their technical expertise and experience with our industry.

PROUD MEMBER HIGHLIGHT | Disc Landscapes & Construction

The Woombye Streetscape had been years in the making. Since 2020, residents, businesses, community groups and visitors had been sharing their vision for the heart of Woombye, and when it came time to build, Landscape Queensland Proud Member Disc Landscapes & Construction delivered it.

The construction scope was substantial. Earthworks, drainage, pathway grading, coloured broom-finished and exposed sandblasted concrete pavements, feature stairways, raised pedestrian crossings, galvanised handrails, lighting and a full suite of street furniture were all delivered across the project. Softscape works including street trees, lawn, garden beds, mulch and planting brought shade and greenery to the footpath.

But the details that speak loudest are the ones that reflect the community's own priorities. A new central gathering space in front of the School of Arts Hall. A drinking fountain with a dog water bowl. Improved crossings designed for people of all ages and abilities. The groundwork for a heritage trail celebrating Woombye's story.

This project is a reminder of what landscape contractors make possible in the places people live every day.

LQ EDUCATION PROGRAM | FUTURE LANDSCAPES: BRISBANE'S LIVING INFRASTRUCTURE LEGACY & THE NEXT SIX YEARS PANEL

This session formed part of the LQ Education Program at the recent 2026 Greenscapes Expo.

Bringing together Omar Barragan, Urbano Design; Damian Thompson, LatStudios; Andrew Bottomley, TLCC & LQIA President; Michael Casey, Evergreen Infrastructure; and Brett Lentz, Pradella Developments, this panel tackled an important question for our industry: what will Brisbane’s push towards living infrastructure mean for the landscape sector over the next six years?

With the Brisbane Green Factor, Green Grid and the broader legacy opportunities associated with Brisbane 2032 influencing how our city and region will grow, the discussion explored how policy and design intent translate into successful outcomes on the ground.

The panel shared perspectives from across design, development and landscape delivery, discussing the opportunities and challenges of delivering green infrastructure at scale and the role collaboration will play in achieving lasting outcomes.

Most importantly, the conversation looked ahead at what our industry needs to understand and prepare for as living infrastructure becomes an increasingly important part of Queensland’s future cities and communities.

Thank you to our panel for sharing their knowledge, perspectives and experience, and to everyone who joined the conversation.

PROUD MEMBER HIGHLIGHT | Lynx Landscaping
When a garden is designed to be seen from within, the glass stops being a boundary and becomes a frame. The view from the room turns into part of the planting, and the line between inside and out quietly disappears.

Landscape Queensland Proud Member Lynx Landscaping delivered this at Broadbeach Waters, a highly detailed landscape that seamlessly integrates with the home's striking contemporary architecture.

The project involved extensive site preparation, grading, drainage, custom steel edging, irrigation, feature boulder installation, premium turfing and the construction of complex garden spaces throughout the waterfront property. Hundreds of plants, advanced specimens and feature trees were carefully positioned to create a layered tropical landscape, anchored by a remarkable 40-year-old cloud-pruned Japanese Black Pine sourced after a nationwide search.

Working on a canal-front site presented significant construction challenges. King tides impacted installation works, while restricted access required materials, soils, drainage systems and feature elements to be carefully manoeuvred and installed by hand. The team adapted the design and construction methodology to ensure long-term landscape performance in the waterfront environment.

The result is a technically sophisticated landscape that balances bold architectural form with lush planting, creating a distinctive residential environment that feels both timeless and uniquely connected to its setting.

Projects like this demonstrate the craftsmanship, problem-solving and construction expertise required to deliver high-end residential landscapes at the highest level.

LQ EDUCATION PROGRAM | GREEN WALLS, ROOFS & CITY GREENING: LIVING SYSTEMS IN PRACTICE

This session was part of the LQ Education Program, offered at the recent 2026 Greenscapes Expo.

Presented by Michael Casey from Evergreen Infrastructure, this session took a practical look at the growing role of green roofs, living walls and integrated greening in creating cooler, greener and more resilient urban environments.

With Brisbane moving towards 2032 and increasing attention on living infrastructure, Michael shared his extensive experience delivering green infrastructure projects across Australia and explored what it takes to make these systems work in practice.

From system and species selection to structural considerations, planting design, irrigation, maintenance and long-term performance, the session highlighted that successful city greening is about much more than the finished result. These are living systems that need to be properly specified, installed and managed for the long term.

Thank you to Michael for sharing his knowledge and practical experience, and to everyone who joined us for the session.
