our story
Part of Advance Plants, since 1982
Advance Landscapes is the landscape maintenance arm of Advance Plants, a family-owned South East Queensland business that has looked after commercial properties since 1982. Over four decades we have built our reputation on consistently high-quality work, which is why many clients stay with us for years.
We are one of very few businesses in the region that can look after both interior and exterior landscapes. Advance Plants maintains indoor plantscapes for offices, hotels and shopping centres, and Advance Landscapes applies the same standards outdoors, to shopping centres, body corporates, hotels and commercial sites.
Our head office is in Albion, Brisbane, and our Gold Coast team works from Molendinar. Advance Plants was independently certified as a Great Place to Work for 2024–2025, and the people who look after your site are our own employees.

Common questions
Which areas do you service?
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Our teams are based in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.
What types of sites do you maintain?
Larger commercial sites: shopping centres, hotels and resorts, retirement villages, hospitals and healthcare, office precincts, and body corporate and strata complexes. We don’t maintain private homes, small commercial sites or council parks, and we don’t do landscape construction (here is why).
How are contracts structured?
On a monthly maintenance schedule, with no lock-in contract. The scope and frequency are agreed up front, and additional works are quoted separately. Many clients have been with us for years, and we would rather keep them through our work than a clause in a contract.
Are you prequalified?
Yes. We are Cm3 prequalified (Cm3 ID 2074), the independent contractor safety assessment required to work on large commercial sites such as Westfield shopping centres.
What insurance do you hold?
We hold $20 million public liability and workers’ compensation cover. Certificates of currency are available on request.
Can you look after our indoor plants too?
Yes. We are part of Advance Plants, which also provides indoor plant hire and maintenance, so one business can look after your greenery inside and out.
