Our Story
About Troppo Gardens
A Family Passion for Gardens
Mark and Emma Lasker have been studying and working with plants since 1995, from the humble beginnings of chipping weeds from rows of cotton plants and selling bags of fertiliser in Emma's dad's agricultural supplies shop.
Troppo Gardens has been operating for over 22 years in Darwin and has changed and developed with the seasons, just as our gardens have. Doing the simple things well, we've grown to become a trusted and reliable landscape gardening business building lifelong relationships with our customers.
We love being in the garden, in all kinds of weather, helping you to beautify your garden or fix that problem area. The Northern Territory provides wonderful opportunities to enjoy outdoor living and we work hard to bring that to you in your own garden space.
"The simple things, done well, will always be a good investment."
— Mark & Emma Lasker

Top End Specialists
We Know the Territory
Warm rains, dramatic skies, and that unmistakable tropical energy — the wet season is when the Top End comes alive. In the wet, gardens surge with growth, lawns are green, plants seem to put on growth overnight, and the landscape feels lush, wild, and abundant.
This is the season for managing growth and working with the weather. Garden clean-ups, paving those muddy areas, planting tropicals that thrive in the wet, and preparing outdoor spaces to handle heavy rain and humidity.
At Troppo Gardens, we understand the wet season rhythm and how to care for gardens in the Top End's toughest — and most beautiful — months.
