Restoring balance between development and nature
We bring degraded landscapes back to life through evidence-based ecological restoration and native habitat creation across Australian ecosystems.

Explore our approach
Over the past twelve years, we've worked with landholders, councils, and developers to repair what modern land use has disrupted. From coastal wetlands to inland woodlands, our approach is simple: understand the system, remove the barriers, and let nature do what it does best.
Every site is different. We don't believe in templates or one-size solutions. Our work starts with soil, water, and what used to grow there naturally.
Read our full storyWe map existing vegetation, test soil health, analyze water flow patterns, and identify what native species once thrived on your land.
Based on historical ecology and current conditions, we design a phased restoration strategy that works with your budget and timeline.
Our team handles everything from weed removal and soil preparation to planting and ongoing maintenance. We track progress through seasonal monitoring.
Transparent pricing for professional ecological work. All rates include initial consultation, detailed planning, and post-project support.
Complete site transformation from degraded land to thriving native habitat. Includes weed control, soil rehabilitation, native planting, and 12-month monitoring.
Ongoing care for existing bushland or previously restored sites. Weed monitoring, erosion control, fauna habitat enhancement, and seasonal maintenance visits.
Comprehensive flora and fauna surveys, vegetation mapping, threatened species identification, and detailed reporting for planning approvals or conservation covenants.
Specialized restoration for riparian zones, swamps, and coastal wetlands. Water quality testing, sediment management, aquatic planting, and erosion stabilization.
Strategic advice for developers, councils, and landholders. Environmental impact assessments, offset planning, regulatory compliance, and expert witness services.
Hands-on workshops for property owners and community groups. Learn to identify native species, control invasive weeds, and manage your land for biodiversity.
A former cattle property on the NSW South Coast had lost nearly all native vegetation after decades of overgrazing. The landowner wanted to retire the land and return it to conservation.
We removed invasive kikuyu grass, repaired gully erosion, and planted 23,000 native seedlings matched to the original coastal forest community. Within three years, native birds returned, wallabies were regularly spotted, and a threatened orchid species reappeared.
The property now holds a conservation covenant and generates biodiversity credits.
See more projectsWe only work with native Australian plants suited to your region's soil and climate. No generic landscaping or exotic species.
Our team holds degrees in environmental science and ecology, with certifications from the Ecological Society of Australia.
We design projects to be self-sustaining within five years. You won't need endless maintenance contracts.
Detailed quotes, progress photos, and written reports at every stage. No surprises or hidden costs.
"After the bushfires, we didn't know where to start. Neat Stakes assessed the damage, removed all the invasive weeds that sprang up, and replanted with fire-adapted natives. Two years later, the bush is recovering beautifully."
"Their biodiversity report was thorough and clearly written. The council approved our development application without any pushback on the environmental section."
"We needed a wetland restoration plan for our farm. They found threatened frog species we didn't know we had and designed a management plan that actually increased our property value."
We operate across New South Wales, Victoria, and the ACT. Our projects span coastal heathlands, temperate woodlands, alpine wetlands, and urban bushland reserves.
Each region has unique ecological communities. We've spent years building relationships with local native nurseries, understanding seasonal patterns, and learning which species thrive where.
Travel costs are included in our quotes for work within 200km of Sydney. For remote sites, we can arrange accommodation and provide multi-day site visits to maximize efficiency.
Tell us about your land and what you hope to achieve. We'll respond within two business days with initial thoughts and next steps.
All consultations begin with a site visit. We need to see the land, understand its history, and discuss your goals in person before we can provide accurate pricing.
