Question 1

How much do garden feature specialists typically charge?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Do garden feature specialists charge call-out fees?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What qualifications should I look for in a garden feature specialist?

Accepted Answer

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.
