MUD Landscape Design

MARK TISDELL
DIRECTOR

Mark Tisdell founded MUD in 2015 with a commitment to creating vibrant and functional landscape design that improves lifestyle whilst also honoring the surrounding environment, and complimenting the residential or commercial architecture.

At MUD several landscape design architects work under Mark, who remains intimate with each project and responsible for overall creative direction. Past projects range in scale from suburban residences and tight inner city terraces to expansive Hunter Valley estates, hotels, wineries, restaurants, aged care establishments and child care centres.

Mark has been designing and creating compelling landscapes since 2011 when he commenced his career with a market leading multinational award winning landscape architecture practice renown for authentic, progressive design excellence. This organisation has received numerous national and international industry awards and has been featured in books, publications, and television programs.

Mark grew up on the east coast of Australia, from a young age exploring its national parks and beaches. From here grew a deep love for our coastal waterways, understanding of seasonality and appreciation of the local natural environment, flora and fauna. This is evident in his design philosophy which fuses modernism, desert and coastal elements to create engaging and functional external spaces for clients.

In 2016 Mark was honoured to accept his first Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM, now LDI) national landscape design award, accepting the tightly contested Pro Bono ‘Best in category’ & ‘Gold award’ for the Darby Street Community Garden. Mark has since received numerous other awards through the institute, recognising both his extensive residential and commercial outdoor spaces.

Mark Tisdell holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters of Architecture from the University of Newcastle. He has also served on the board of directors and as president of The Roost, a community working space home to around 25 businesses. He enjoys surfing, yoga and spending time with his young family.

MUD is committed to delivering award winning landscape design that improves your lifestyle. We honour the environment, compliment architecture, and increase property value. As a conscious company MUD benefits our clients, employees, and communities – inspiring others to do the same.

MUD provides landscape design services for residential and commercial projects, with our design philosophy fusing modernism, desert, and coastal elements to create landscape designs that compliment your architecture.

MUD’s landscape design process realises your vision. We collaborate with you providing ideas, inspirations, and trends for consideration. Your feedback is incorporated, and our Landscape Concept Design refined to ensure your perfect garden.

MUD works with property owners looking to revitalize a run-down space, new home owners seeking to create the garden of their dreams and developers wanting to complement their buildings with an appealing garden outside, or indoors.

MUD designs large gardens for residential homes, small gardens for terraces and townhouses, micro or indoor gardens for apartments, and sprawling gardens for estates. Commercial designs include vineyard and winery grounds, hotel courtyards and outdoor dining areas, corporate atrium’s, foyers, mezzanine areas, and sensory gardens for aged care and child friendly gardens for child care centres.
