What owners ask first
How much does landscape design cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary by project scope and service. One landscape practice lists an initial design consultation at $350, while another design phase usually takes two to six weeks depending on the project. Free site visits, consultations or quotes are also available from some providers.
Do Melbourne landscapers provide design and construction together?
Yes. Several teams manage design, documentation, construction and planting as connected stages. Services can include garden plans, 3D renders, paving, retaining walls, decks, pergolas, irrigation, turf and outdoor entertaining areas. Some also coordinate approvals or work with construction teams.
Can Melbourne landscapers maintain a garden after construction?
Many providers offer ongoing care, including mowing, pruning, hedging, fertilising, weed control, irrigation checks and seasonal maintenance. Some provide subscription or recurring visits, while others offer maintenance separately from design and construction. Visit schedules and service areas vary between providers.
