Green and Clean for lawn mowing and rubbish removals — Landscaping in Inala

Basic landscaping (turf, garden beds, edging) starts around $2,000–$5,000 for a standard backyard. Full landscape design and construction including retaining walls, paving, and planting typically costs $15,000–$60,000+ depending on scope.

Most residential landscaping doesn't require council approval. Exceptions include retaining walls over 600mm–1m (varies by council), structures like pergolas or sheds, and work near easements, drainage lines, or overlays. Check with your local council before starting.

Spring and autumn are ideal in most of Australia — soil is warm enough for root establishment without the stress of summer heat. In tropical areas, laying turf at the start of the wet season promotes fast establishment with natural rainfall.

Water twice daily for the first 2 weeks, once daily for weeks 3–4, then transition to deep weekly watering. Don't mow until turf is firmly rooted (lift a corner to check). First mow should take no more than one-third of the leaf height.

A landscape designer creates the plans and specifications. A landscaper builds to those plans. Some tradies offer both. For larger projects over $20,000, using a qualified landscape designer ensures council compliance and optimal plant selection.
