“We were recommended The Scape Artist through a close friend when looking at designing our front garden. We contacted Paddy the owner who advised us to look at a couple of gardens that they had completed around the Ballarat area, we were immediately impressed by the standard and innovative designs. We had a consultation with Paddy who was able to visualise the design for our ideal garden. He then produced a detailed digital plan which gave us no doubt what the finished landscape would look like. From the very beginning Paddy and his team displayed professionalism, a passion and dedication to their work. Paddys honest approach and constant communication left us in no doubt of time frames with our garden. We could not speak highly enough of The Scape Artist team for their courteous manner, attention to detail and their overall customer service was second to none. We would highly recommend The Scape Artist to anyone wanting to landscape their garden Darren & Tina (Buninyong)”

“Paddy, Sonia and the Triple J’s transformed my sloping front garden into an attractive, stepped and beautifully planted approach to the house. Every aspect of the project went as promised….timelines met, deliveries and work always as predicted. Sonia and Paddy produced a wonderful design of mostly native plants which complements and softens the design of the house and will bring many birds to the garden. The team were wonderful to have around….always cheerful, despite winter weather, helpful and always responsive to any queries. The communication with all the team was impressive so I was never in doubt as to the next steps, the costs involved, who would be on site. I would not hesitate to recommend The Scape Artist for any landscaping.”

“We had a small backyard and front yard with some complex challenges that required a professional approach. We were extremely impressed from the outset with Paddy Milne, the owner of The Scape Artist, who is not only passionate about gardens and their design but also made himself readily available to meet with us often. His communication skills are excellent and he is so personable. He and his designer Sonia considered our vision for our garden and how we wanted to utilise our spaces and then brought our ideas to life in both 2D and 3D presentations that ‘blew our minds’ with regard to what they felt could be achieved. We were able to make changes to the design to suit our budget. Once our work commenced, we met and observed the skilled TSA Team (Julian, James & Jake) and the many skilled Trades they work with to bring ‘the Design’ to life. We met so many genuine, honest, ‘salt of the earth’ people during our landscaping project who all went out of their way to explain and enlighten us on the work they were undertaking at any given time. The end result is a stunning garden that can be utilised both day and night and is now a very lived in space because of the beauty and the features that have brought love, joy, laughter, activity, rest and relaxation to our outdoor areas, as well as colour, light, water and life in the form of flowers, foliage, birds, beneficial insects, bees and butterflies. We are thrilled and delighted and we are eternally grateful to Paddy and his extended TSA Team who are ‘second to none’ for taking us on a journey with them that has delivered in so many ways and will continue to give us joy for many years to come. We can’t recommend The Scape Artist enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions

General Landscaping questions for Sebastopol

How much does landscaping cost in Australia?

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.

Do I need council approval for landscaping?

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.

What's the best time of year to lay turf in Australia?

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.

How do I maintain a new lawn after laying turf?

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.

What is the difference between a landscape designer and a landscaper?

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.
