Websites for landscapers and garden businesses from Redcliffe and Bribie Island out to Samford and Woodford: your QBCC licence where clients can check it, finished yards captioned by suburb, and a quote form that asks about gum trees, wall heights and access before the site visit.
Moreton Bay takes in the Redcliffe peninsula and Bribie Island, suburbs strung along the Bruce Highway, and rural land out towards Dayboro and Woodford. Owners across all of it ask a landscaper similar things early on: can that tree come out, does this wall need approval, and do you come out this far.
City of Moreton Bay says owners are generally not allowed to clear or lop trees in high-value areas, including koala habitat and priority areas, without approval, and that ring-barking or poisoning counts as clearing. A line saying you check council's Environmental Areas mapping before quoting clearing work, and who lodges any application, answers a question many owners are nervous to ask.
Council names gum, brush box, paperbark, bloodwood and myrtle among the trees koalas rely on, and gives residential owners a free native plant voucher each year. If native gardens, habitat planting or koala-friendly fencing are part of your work, give them a section of their own with photos, rather than a single word in a long services list.
Clients often assume a wall under a metre never needs approval. In Moreton Bay it can, if it's within 1.5 metres of a building or another wall, or carries a fence that takes the combined height past two metres. A short explanation on your walls page, and a note that you arrange certification where needed, sets expectations before the quote.
Suppliers delivering organic material to council sites complete a fire ant compliance verification form, and hand over their fire ant management plan if the material came from a declared zone. If you tender for council or commercial grounds work, a page that says you're set up for those checks speaks to the person signing off the contract.
People here say they're on the peninsula, in North Lakes or Mango Hill, around Narangba and Burpengary, in Caboolture or Morayfield, at Strathpine or Albany Creek, up in the Samford Valley or Dayboro, or on Bribie. Name the areas you actually cover, and add a line if you'll travel further for bigger construction jobs.
Many garden businesses here run mowing, hedging and tidy-ups on a regular round. For them a single page with services, a short gallery, the suburbs on the round and a simple booking enquiry does the job, and new suburbs can be added later as a text change on hosting.
The QBCC licence and advertising rules are the same here as anywhere in Queensland: a licence for building work valued over $3,300, two classes written for landscaping, and your licensed name and number shown wherever you advertise. Our Brisbane landscapers page sets them out. Three things are more local: the koalas, council's wall rules, and fire ant movement controls.
Clearing and koala habitat. City of Moreton Bay says owners may need council approval before clearing or cutting trees and vegetation, and its definition of clearing reaches ring-barking, poisoning and work that leaves a tree standing but damaged. Owners can check council's interactive overlay map with the Environmental Areas layer switched on, or request a vegetation management report using their lot and plan number. In most cases, clearing is accepted development, needing no approval, if a property isn't affected by certain zones or overlays and the work meets Table 1.7.7.1 of the planning scheme; council's self-assessment checklist shows when it isn't, and then an operational works application for vegetation clearing goes in through council's online services. Council says its data suggests a strong koala presence, especially around Petrie, and reports populations at Moreton Bay Central, formerly The Mill, growing by 22% a year since 2017.
Retaining walls. Council's building pages say a retaining wall more than one metre high needs building approval. A lower wall may still need it if it's within 1.5 metres of a building or another retaining wall, carries a fence with a combined height over two metres above natural ground, has a surcharge load over its zone of influence, or forms part of a pool barrier. A wall, or wall and fence, over two metres within 1.5 metres of a side or rear boundary, or within 6 metres of the road boundary, needs a siting variation through a building certifier. Changing surface levels in a council drainage easement needs approval, and work over or near Unitywater sewer or water mains is referred to Unitywater. Where a wall sits on a boundary, the owner of the land it stands on maintains that part.
Fire ants. Council lists soil, mulch, compost, plants and their pots, sawdust, and hay or straw as fire ant carriers, and says anyone dealing with carriers from suburbs inside the biosecurity zones must meet the compliance requirements, using the National Fire Ant Eradication Program's compliance advice tool to work out what applies to a given move. Suppliers delivering organic material to council sites confirm Biosecurity Queensland compliance, complete council's supplier verification form, and provide their fire ant management plan if the material came from a declared zone. Queensland's zones were updated again from 15 April 2026, with changes across Moreton Bay, so a business moving turf, soil or mulch here checks the current map rather than last year's.
How we work with Moreton Bay landscapers. We're an Adelaide team and work by phone and email; there's no need for anyone to visit your yard or depot. Tell us where your round runs or where you'd like more construction work, send a set of photos of finished jobs and your licence details if you hold one, and we'll send back a draft link you can check on your phone between jobs.
We haven't built for a Moreton Bay landscaper yet. These are the two sites in our portfolio closest to that work, both in New South Wales: a structural landscaping and excavation business, and a tree service with results we can share.
Tomi's works across the Bega Valley from South Pambula on structural landscaping, licensed pool building and earthworks. Its single page splits those into three services and carries a 42-photo gallery, a testimonial carousel and a contact form with a thank-you page.

If clearing or planting near native trees is part of your work, a sentence helps: say you check whether vegetation is mapped before quoting and who handles any approval. City of Moreton Bay says clearing or lopping in koala habitat and priority areas generally needs approval, so owners appreciate a landscaper who raises it first. Keep it general and point to council's mapping rather than giving advice on a particular lot.
A separate page for it, describing the kinds of sites you maintain and how you report on the work. If you supply or move mulch, soil or turf, say that you follow fire ant movement controls and can provide the paperwork council asks suppliers for. We lay it out from the wording you send.
Often, yes. One page at $399 can hold your services, photos, the suburbs on your round, a quote or booking enquiry form and tap-to-call. If you later add construction work, moving to more pages is quoted first and builds on what's there.
Yes. The quote form can take several photos, a plan or survey, and questions about access, slope and large trees. It arrives in your inbox as one email, so you can see whether a job needs an arborist, a certifier or neither before you call.
Yes. We're a web design team in Adelaide, South Australia, working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. You send photos and service details, we build the draft, you ask for changes, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
Send us the suburbs you work in, a list of your services and photos of a few finished yards, plus your QBCC licence number if you hold one. We'll quote first and build the draft before you pay anything.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
