Verify their electrical licence is current at your state's electrical safety authority (e.g. Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading).

FAQs — Landscaping in Arncliffe, Sydney
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.
