Our History
We’d just passed Roy Hill and Nullagine, and it hit me. All at once, I felt it: I saw the trees, the flowers, the mauve hills and yellow spinifex; I saw the way the features of the landscape held together and had their balance. The Pilbara had claimed me. From that moment I was hooked.
Outback Trees of Australia (OTA) are a remote area/mine village landscaping company started in 1990 with a particular emphasis on the Pilbara region where the owners/directors Denis and Damon O’Meara have spent most of their lives living and working in and around the mining industry.
OTA have extensive remote area mine village landscaping experience, which includes numerous projects over many years for BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Hamersley Iron, Pilbara Iron, Robe River, Woodside, Minara Resources, Kimberley Diamonds, Ausco Modular, Fleetwoods, Nomad Building, Wylie & Skene, Decmil, Mineworks and various other mining and construction groups. The large majority of these projects have been in the Pilbara region, in and around Port Hedland, Karratha, Newman and Tom Price environs.
OTA have more than 20 years experience in remote area landscaping, and believe we are the only landscaping group in WA that is set up solely to complete contracts of this nature.
In August 2011, The Australian Newspaper published an article written by Nicholas Rothwell titled “The Desert Gardener” about Denis O’Meara and how he has turned his love of native trees into a thriving business and a passionate life project.
