What landscaping costs
Across Australia, landscaping typically runs $4,806 – $22,855 for turf installation, and $1,157 – $4,305 for garden beds & edging.
Local prices vary, so these are typical Australia-wide ranges, not a quote for Queensland. What you'll pay comes down to the size of the job, the condition of what's being worked on, and the finish you choose. Get a few quotes to see your exact number. It's free.
Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a landscaper.
Wind Exposure
Most of Queensland is in an elevated wind area — landscaper work should use fixings rated for higher wind loads. Make sure your quote specifies wind-appropriate materials.
Moisture Management and Drier-Month Scheduling
Queensland's warm, humid climate means moisture management matters for any exterior work. Good ventilation and moisture barriers prevent issues behind surfaces.
High Termite Activity
Most of Queensland has very high termite activity — annual inspections are essential, and any work involving timber or ground contact should factor in termite management.
What's in a good Landscaping quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each landscaper's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
