Frequently Asked Question
What does your landscape construction service involve?
We offer a complete landscape construction service from design to completion. This includes general earthworks, retaining walls, drainage and construction of outdoor spaces with soil, plants, and other associated works.
How much does landscape construction cost in Australia?
The prices vary a lot. For example, in Melbourne, a backyard makeover costs between $4,000 and $21,000, and more complicated jobs like the installation of retaining walls and paving, as well as drainage works, cost a lot more. Generally, in terms of cost, retaining walls and paving are a lot more than turf and mulch. The only way to get an accurate price is to have a site visit.
What is landscape site preparation?
The old plants and rubbish from the site are removed. Soil is prepared to receive the new plants, and drainage is installed at this stage.
Why are retaining walls important in landscape construction?
Retaining walls are important to hold back the soil on a sloping site, and if constructed properly, they prevent the soil from sliding and washing away. In the state of Victoria, retaining walls more than one metre in height requires a building permit.
Why is drainage important for landscaping?
Drainage is necessary to move excess water and avoid saturation, which can rot the lawn and other plants, ruin the soil, and even erode retaining walls. Drainage is important for transporting excess water. This makes the whole lawn healthy.
Can Landscape Construction be Done on Sloping Blocks?
Yes, many sloping blocks have nice landscaping and are common. Construction of these includes earthworks and retaining walls to create different levels and to avoid water running down. Using different levels in the construction of a sloping block makes the site more usable and is better than using a level site.
What is soil augmentation, and why is it required?
Soil Augmentation is the addition of organic matter, compost, and/or gypsum to existing soil. In Melbourne, for example, many soils are bad, have poor drainage and are clay soils. If the soil is corrected, the health of the plants is improved, and other problems are prevented.
How long do landscape construction projects take?
Projects usually take a few days to a week to complete if the project is small. Larger projects may take a few weeks or longer. Weather, site access, and the size of the project all impact how long a project will take.
Why is drainage important for landscaping?
Landscape construction includes planting and garden installations. We do offer designs and installations as part of our landscape construction services. Soil and drainage work is completed first. After that, we can complete the project with planting and other designs.
How do I get a quote for landscape construction in Australia?
You can fill out our Get a Quote form or contact us for more information. We will talk with you to learn more about your ideas and goals. After that, we will visit your location to take some measurements of your site, check the soil and drainage, and evaluate the site overall. After that, we will write up a proposal describing the work to be done and the associated costs.
