Colin and Lisette Marchant - Costata Landscape Design

When Colin Marchant purchased a small lawn mowing run on the Central Coast in 1990 as an entry into landscaping, he didn't imagine the business would evolve into the nationally recognised design and construction enterprise it is today.

Costata Landscape Design celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in September. From humble beginnings, Col and his wife and co-managing partner, Lisette, have earned an enviable reputation built on trust, transparency, quality and clear communication from concept to completion. In the process, they transformed a lawn mowing run into an established landscaping, building design and management business. They have also been awarded three times nationally, are currently finalists for another national award and continue to grow stronger year by year. With a business structure and philosophy that is quite unique from most other landscaping businesses, Col and Lisette discovered a symbiotic 'sweet spot' that not only works effectively for them, but also for their clients and the team of contractors that supports them.
