You’ll see some inspirational gardens by local landscapers just by taking a drive around your neighbourhood. Typically landscaping companies are transforming yards into outdoor living spaces with paving patterns, garden beds, retaining walls and decking.

An attractive garden can really add value to your property. So if you’re thinking of selling, or just want to enjoy the space with friends and family hiring a landscaper is a great investment.

What do Landscapers do?

Most local landscaping companies offer a variety of services that fall under design, construction and maintenance.

Landscape design. For a large area or creating a completely new theme in your garden a landscaping design is important. The design can help visualise the finished landscaping and help estimate costs. With the latest landscape design software a 3D walk-through video can be generated with ease.

Landscape construction transforms your front or backyard, bringing the landscape design to life. This is where the agreed design is constructed, be it decking, paving, garden beds or water features.

Garden maintenance keeps your landscaping looking it’s best. If you don’t want to do it yourself a garden maintenance service can look after watering, mowing the lawn, weeding garden beds, replacing or adding plants, topping up mulch in garden beds and trimming hedges.

Landscapers can pretty much create anything you can think of for your garden.

How much does Landscaping cost?

Garden landscaping can be an expensive but long lasting investment. If you have a limited budget initially, try to spread the project out over a number of years as your budget allows.

Hourly rates for Australian landscapers can vary widely from $40 per hour to $200, depending on experience or the complexity of the project. Expect to be quoted a fixed fee for a landscaping project, which is usually broken down into labour and materials.
