    Chris helped me with dirt removal today and did an excellent job. He arrived right on time and not only removed the soil but also helped level the front yard in the process. It was great watching him handle his machine so effortlessly — nearly 8m³ of soil moved in just 30–40 minutes! The price was fair and reasonable compared to other quotes I had received, and the quality of work was outstanding. Chris is efficient, reliable, and clearly takes pride in what he does. All the best, Chris!

    We had Chris and Jake excavate our block and add retaining walls and drainage and could not be happier with the job! From the get go they were extremely responsive and flexible with fitting in with a complicated schedule (we had the block excavated with relatively poor access whilst builders had already started working on our site to build our house). Chris was accommodating when taking on the job under these conditions, which helped us greatly as it would be a lot more difficult later on (plus we just wanted to get it done to see how it would look/what we are working with for a backyard, particularly given the site cut was not great). Chris and Jake managed all the uncertainties and changes in schedule (due to working with the builder’s changing plans) like pros. The end result speaks for itself! I’ve attached some before and after pictures.

    Chris and co did a great job scraping my backyard to flatten it out and also put together a lovely looking mud rock retaining wall in the backyard. Some tricky access through my garage was not a problem. Chris is a real professional and i would gladly engage him again to do any further excavation or landscaping works. Thanks!

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.
