Frequently Asked Questions About Decking Installation in Claremont Meadows

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.

How deep should a retaining wall footprint be?

A rule of thumb is one-third of the wall height below ground (e.g., a 900mm wall needs a 300mm footing). Walls over 600mm in most states require an engineer's report and building permit.

What native plants are best for low-maintenance Australian gardens?

Popular choices include Grevillea, Westringia (coast rosemary), Lomandra, Callistemon (bottlebrush), and native grasses. These are drought-tolerant, support local wildlife, and require minimal watering once established.

Is artificial turf worth it in Australia?

Artificial turf costs $50–$130/m² installed (vs $15–$40/m² for natural turf). Payback comes from water savings — particularly relevant in Perth and Adelaide where water restrictions apply. Quality artificial turf lasts 15–20 years.
