    I had a complex serious drainage issue on my site causing water to pour into my split level house every time it rained. I had several companies come and quote me options that were half fixes and it wasn't until Active Industries came that I had a proper solution. Colin did an exceptional job to fix this, talking me through the process before and during the works. 12 months later and with significant rain events there has not been a drop of water come into our house. If you are looking for someone to do the job right the first time due to their knowledge and passion for their quality then Active Industries is the company to engage with.

    A fantastic job on a difficult site. Living on a bush property & suddenly finding we needed a council compliant pool fence was a shock considering the council rules are a minefield. Colin was very experienced in this area and made our compliance easy. It was a difficult job on mostly solid, sloping sandstone but he sourced the best type of fencing for the site, installed it quickly, cleaned up everything & left us with a great addition to our home. We would highly recommend Colin’s company. From speaking with him, he has often taken on jobs that many said were too hard, thanks for a great job.

    Colin helped us with concreting driveway and paths on our sloped site, as well as pool fencing. He had the challenging job of doing the job as our pool was going in... And we were so blessed to have Colin on site. We ended up paying Colin extra to fix up the shonky retaining walls that the pool builder arranged for the pool surrounds. He became our extra pair of trusted eyes. He was thoughtful and gave excellent advice from his extensive experience. He is meticulous with detail and exceptionally clean and tidy, not to mention a true gentleman. No hesitation recommending him!

    We hired Colin to complete the landscaping work for our knock-down/rebuild project and couldn't be happier with the results. Our scope of work included a patio, new driveway, retaining walls, soft landscaping, exterior lighting, pool filter, fencing and rendered block walling. With access to a wide range of his own heavy machinery and equipment, Colin was able deliver the majority of this work himself and brought in trusted specialist trades to complete the rest. Colin is a good communicator, has a great attention to detail and is very particular about the quality of the construction 'beneath the surface', e.g. drainage, foundations, build materials, etc. I'd happily recommend Colin to anyone considering a project such as ours.

Frequently asked questions

How much do landscapers typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on job type and complexity — a tidy-up is typically much less than a full makeover or structural retaining wall. Materials, labour hours, site access and any required design or engineering work usually drive the price. This page shows live pricing to help you compare current rates.
Do landscapers charge call-out fees?
Most landscapers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, and this is usually separate from labour and materials. Hourly labour rates and after-hours or weekend attendance are often charged at higher rates. It’s worth confirming any minimum fees and what the call-out covers when requesting quotes.
When do landscapers need a licence in Australia?
Landscapers typically need a contractor licence or builder registration when work involves structural or building elements such as engineered retaining walls, footings or major excavation. Providers who undertake structural work will usually display a valid state contractor licence or builder registration, while smaller softscape-only jobs often do not require that registration. Check that any landscaper doing structural work holds the appropriate licence or registration.
