How much does an outdoor makeover cost in Sydney?

Outdoor makeover costs vary significantly based on scope and materials. Small courtyard makeovers typically range from $10,000-$25,000, while complete backyard transformations often fall between $30,000-$80,000+. We work with various budget levels and can suggest priorities to maximise impact within your investment. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific project.

How long does an outdoor makeover take?

Timeframes depend on project scope and complexity. Compact courtyard makeovers typically take 1-2 weeks, while comprehensive backyard transformations usually require 2-4 weeks. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We'll provide a realistic timeline in your quote and keep you informed of progress throughout.

Do you provide design as part of the makeover?

Yes, design is included in our makeover service. We create custom plans tailored to your space, preferences, and budget. For larger projects, we develop detailed concept designs for your approval before construction begins. This integrated approach ensures the design is fully buildable and accurately costed.

Can you work with my existing features?

Absolutely. We assess what's worth keeping—established trees, quality paving, or structures in good condition can often be retained and integrated into the new design. Working with existing features can reduce costs and preserve mature elements that add value. We'll advise on what to keep versus replace during our consultation.

What if I only have a small budget?

We work with various budget levels. Even smaller investments can create significant impact with smart design choices. We can suggest phased approaches—completing essential elements now and adding features later. We're transparent about what's achievable within different budget ranges and won't push you toward spending more than you're comfortable with.

Do you handle council permits if needed?

Most residential outdoor makeovers don't require council approval. However, if your project includes elements that need permits (structures, significant earthworks, etc.), we can advise on requirements and assist with straightforward applications. We'll identify any permit needs during our initial consultation so there are no surprises.

What happens to my existing garden waste?

We handle all demolition and waste removal as part of our service. Old plants, paving, timber, and debris are removed and disposed of responsibly. You won't be left with a mess to clean up or unexpected waste disposal costs—everything is included in your quote.

Can I stage my outdoor makeover over time?

Yes, we often help clients stage projects across multiple phases. We design with the complete vision in mind, then prioritise elements based on budget and impact. This approach lets you enjoy improvements immediately while working toward the complete transformation over time as budget allows.
