These figures are indicative ranges only — published to help you budget, not as a quote. Actual landscaper costs in Queensland depend on the job, materials, access and timing. Always get written quotes from a few licensed landscapers before you commit.
Many do, typically $50–$150 depending on distance and location. Some include it in the quote if you proceed; others waive it for larger jobs. Always ask when requesting a quote.
Depends on the job. Simple work may be quoted hourly ($60–$110/hr). Complex projects are usually fixed-price quotes after a site visit. Get at least two quotes to compare.
Rarely. Most quotes separate labour from materials. You may buy plants and supplies yourself or ask the tradie to source them (usually marked up). Confirm in writing.
Not always. Check whether the quote is GST-inclusive. Licensed landscapers must charge GST on labour and materials, so factor this into your budget.
Provide clear photos, dimensions, and scope. Get at least 2–3 quotes from local, reviewed traders. All Urban Assault and others in our directory offer free initial assessments.
