    We highly recommend Simon @ Land by Design. Simon designed a beautiful garden around our large country home as well as a path through a 10hectare re-vegetation project. We are thrilled with the outcome of both jobs. Simon was a pleasure to work with, came up with some brilliant ideas and was very responsive to our input.

    It was a real pleasure to meet Simon for a consultation about ways to make our large country garden easier to maintain. We were very impressed by Simon‘s wide knowledge of plants and his sense of micro environments in a complex site. Simon‘s insights and suggestions during the consultation, followed up by his notes and plant list, have all been very helpful to us. We would strongly recommend him to others.

    Simon’s knowledge of plants, permaculture & design is immense and frankly mind blowing! Hiring him to design our orchard & chicken run on a slopped block saved us from making countless “beginner mistakes” and helped us bring things like access, plant placement & irrigation together. I highly recommend investing in Simon’s service.

    We've been working with Simon for a couple of years as we slowly develop our permaculture-inspired farm in South Gippsland. Simon's consultative approach helps direct the planning process in a way that truly focuses on the context of the owners, and how the land and the client's aspirations fit in a manageable way with the client's lifestyle. This dynamic and considered approach helps clients achieve an outcome that suits their whole lifestyle, and helps prevent decisions that over the medium and long term may be counter to the client's true aspirations. Simon maintains an open mind to various horticultural approaches, always considering the impacts of each decision on the specific ecosystem present, ensuring decisions have a positive environmental impact. I highly recommend Simon for anyone looking for comprehensive and bespoke farm design, landscape, and horticultural services.

    Simon's expertise transformed a steep hillside into a stunning, sustainable landscape that perfectly complements my home. His meticulous planning, from the placement of boulders to plant selection, exceeded expectations; and his use of advanced drone technology ensured works were based on sound site data. Six months post-completion I couldn't be happier with Land by Design; my thriving garden has truly enhanced my everyday life.

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.
