How much does landscape construction cost in Sydney?

Landscape construction costs vary significantly based on project scope, materials, and site conditions. Small courtyard makeovers might start from $8,000-$15,000, while complete backyard transformations typically range from $25,000-$80,000+. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after a site visit so you know exactly what you're paying for. There are no hidden costs or surprises.

How long does landscape construction take?

Project timelines depend on scope and complexity. A simple courtyard makeover might take 3-5 days, while a complete backyard transformation could take 2-4 weeks. Weather can affect scheduling for certain tasks. We'll provide a realistic timeline estimate in your quote and keep you informed of progress throughout construction.

Do I need council approval for landscape construction?

Most residential landscaping doesn't require council approval. However, retaining walls over 600mm high, structures attached to the house, or works near boundaries may need permits. We assess permit requirements during our site visit and can advise on the approval process if needed. We handle straightforward permit applications as part of our service.

Will you remove my existing garden and dispose of waste?

Yes, we handle all demolition, removal of existing features, and waste disposal as part of our service. This includes removing old paving, garden beds, plants, fencing, and any other materials. All waste is disposed of responsibly and the cost is included in our quote—you won't receive any surprise waste removal bills.

Can you work with plans from my landscape designer?

Absolutely. We regularly build from plans provided by landscape architects and designers. We'll review the plans, assess constructability, and provide a detailed quote based on the specifications. If we identify any concerns or suggested improvements during our review, we'll discuss these with you and your designer.

What happens if it rains during construction?

Rain is part of Sydney construction. We schedule work strategically and have contingency plans for wet weather. Some tasks (like concrete work) require dry conditions, while others can proceed in light rain. If significant delays occur due to weather, we'll communicate updated timelines promptly. We never rush work that requires proper drying conditions.

Do you provide warranties on your construction work?

Yes, we provide workmanship warranties on all construction work. Specific warranty periods vary by element—for example, structural work like retaining walls carries longer warranties than finishing work. Material warranties from manufacturers also apply. We'll outline warranty coverage in your quote and provide documentation upon completion.

Can I stage my landscape project to spread costs?

Yes, we often work with clients to stage projects over time. We can plan the work in phases—perhaps completing hardscaping first, then garden beds and planting later. This approach lets you spread investment while ensuring each phase integrates seamlessly with the overall design. We'll discuss staging options during your consultation.
