Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

Heritage Presence

Lane Cove has a strong heritage presence — some properties may have restrictions on exterior changes. If your property is older, it's worth checking with council before starting garden feature specialist work.

Cooler Months Give Better Results

Strata Area

Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring garden feature specialists

How much do garden feature specialists typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the feature, materials, site conditions and whether it is a new installation or a repair. Small maintenance jobs are typically much less than full builds or major restorative work. See the live pricing shown on this page for current rates and examples.
Do garden feature specialists charge call-out fees?
Many garden feature specialists charge a call-out fee to attend and assess a job, which is usually separate from labour and materials. Call-out fees are often applied to smaller jobs, and after-hours attendance generally attracts higher rates. Confirm whether a call-out fee is included when requesting quotes.
What qualifications should I look for in a garden feature specialist?
While this trade does not require a government licence, look for providers with industry memberships or certifications such as NGIA/GIA, your state Nursery and Garden Industry body or the Australian Institute of Horticulture. Relevant experience, a portfolio of past work and customer references can also indicate competence.
Are there heritage restrictions in Lane Cove?
Lane Cove has a significant number of heritage-listed properties. Not all properties are affected, but if yours is older, check with your council whether any heritage overlays apply before starting exterior work. This can affect colours, materials, and design choices.
