Pricing & Quotes

You don’t need an exact figure, but a rough sense of your budget helps us both make the most of the site visit. Most landscaping projects we work on fall somewhere in these ranges:

  • Small-scope work (single retaining wall, driveway, turf area): $5,000–$10,000
  • Mid-size projects (combined earthworks + construction + planting): $10,000–$25,000
  • Full backyard transformations: $25,000–$50,000
  • Large-scale or commercial work: $50,000–$100,000+

If you’re unsure where your project sits, that’s fine – we can give you a rough indication in a quick phone call before scheduling a site visit. We’d rather have that conversation upfront than waste your time or ours.

Yes, all quotes are free.

Costs are based on your site conditions, design requirements, materials and the scope discussed during your visit.

Project Timing

Timeframes vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. We can give estimated timelines after inspecting the site.

Hardscaping is ideal from spring to autumn, while softscaping suits autumn through to spring. However, we can work year-round with the right preparation.

Timeframes vary throughout the year. We’ll confirm current availability during your site visit.

Preparation & Access

We’ll run through everything needed during the site visit before work begins.

Yes, but we handle tight or tricky access regularly and will explain any requirements on site.

We minimise disruption as much as possible, keep the site safe, and clean up at the end of each day to ensure all public and home entry points remain usable. Learn more about our construction process.

Maintenance & Aftercare

It varies for each project. We provide personalised aftercare instructions at handover. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your landscape thriving.

Yes, for landscapes we’ve built, and for commercial clients on a locked-in contract. We don’t offer one-off clean-ups or casual mowing runs.
