About Us

Decades Of Experience
Buderim Landscape Centre began as ‘Big Garden Centre’ back in 1977, providing Sunshine Coast residents with quality landscape materials. Tony Johnson and his family purchased the business in 2003. Since then it has grown significantly, with the addition of a nursery and a range of convenient shopper services.
Joining forces with the Plants Plus franchise group, Tony has completely rejuvenated the machinery, office and shopping environment of this 40-year-old business.
In 2004, Tony’s tireless efforts to transform the business were recognised with the Best First Time Exhibitor award at the Nambour Garden Expo. The following year our business was recognised as the Best Plants Plus Nursery in Queensland. 15 years later, Buderim Landscape Centre continues to thrive, with a large customer base of local gardeners and professional tradespeople.

Here is what a few of them had to say about their experience with our team.
"I have been dealing with the Buderim Landscape Centre for some 15 years now. With great
delivery services across the Sunshine Coast and trustworthy staff who will do their best to help
us out, you guys make us look good in front of our clients! There's also quite a comprehensive
range of products here to choose from, so we're very happy with the offering at the Buderim
Landscape Centre.
Leigh BarrettManaging Director, Livingstyle Landscapes
"This business has been here forever and I like shopping here because you've got the full
range of products I need. Not only do you have a great nursery, you've also got the soils,
pebbles and mulches I use daily to complete the softscape works I'm involved with."
Jason BrooksbyDirector, Elemental Gardens
"We come here because we know we can get the pebbles, soils and mulches that suit our
projects and clientele. Often we need to consider the budgets we are working with and look for
good value-for-money, so that's probably why we come here so often!
We purchase some of the more difficult to obtain chemicals here because the staff at the
Buderim Landscape Centre are willing and able to locate and purchase them on our behalf.
You've got a good choice of both landscaping materials, fertilisers and plants to cater for what
we need."

"Having worked in Europe in paving and landscape construction I'm familiar with a broad
variety of tastes when it comes to creating special areas for outdoor entertaining. I live and
work on the Sunshine Coast now and at every opportunity I obtain my materials from the
Buderim Landscape Centre. You've got the best service on the coast and I can rely on your
staff to always do the right thing"
Ladi ImeriOwner, Proline Landscapes
"The Buderim Landscape Centre pretty much supplies all my mulch, soil and decorative
pebble. I do a lot of commercial as well as residential work, and whether it’s just a small ute
load or a job that requires several large truckloads, I always come to you guys. The prices are
good, the service is good, and everyone here knows who I am. I've tried other yards and they
just don't come close to what you guys do. I often send my clients here because I know they'll
be looked after."
Anthony ReddanQualified Horticulturist & Landscape Gardener
"It's always nice to drop in and see you guys. You take an interest in what projects I'm working
on and I'm always made to feel welcome. You make an effort to do special things for us trade
guys and I'm sure they all appreciate it. Suffice to say I prefer to shop here for my materials
and I'm happy to recommend my clients to the Buderim Landscape Centre. Good staff and
good service—what more can I ask for? Good fishing maybe?"
