Hiring a landscaper in Perth: what to check

Licence check. In Western Australia, building work over $20,000 that needs a building permit must be done by a registered building contractor. Check registration on the WA Building and Energy public register before you sign.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs, and don’t pay a big deposit up front.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Garden design and planting
  • Turf supply and laying
  • Retaining walls and garden edging
  • Paving, paths and outdoor living areas
  • Irrigation and drainage
  • Garden clean-ups and maintenance

What affects the cost of a landscaper in Perth?

Every job is different, so prices vary. These are the main things that change what you’ll pay — use them to compare quotes like for like:

  • Size of the area and how much soil or rubbish needs removing.
  • Materials: turf, pavers, sleepers, stone or decking.
  • Retaining walls and drainage, which may need engineering or approval.
  • Irrigation, lighting and other services.
  • Machinery access to the back yard.
  • Ongoing maintenance versus a one-off build.

Ask two or three local landscapers for written, itemised quotes. A site visit usually gives a more accurate price than a phone estimate.

Local tips for Perth

  • Perth’s sandy soils drain fast and hold few nutrients. Ask about soil improvers, wetting agents and waterwise plants.
  • Hot, dry summers make water-wise design worthwhile. Ask about drip irrigation, mulch and drought-tolerant plants, and check local watering rules.
  • Before any digging, lodge a free request with Before You Dig Australia so underground services are located.

Landscapers in Perth: FAQs

Do landscapers need a licence in WA?

In Western Australia, building work over $20,000 that needs a building permit must be done by a registered building contractor. Check registration on the WA Building and Energy public register before you sign.

Do retaining walls need council approval?

Often. Walls above a certain height, near boundaries or supporting buildings usually need approval and an engineer’s design. Rules vary by council, so ask your landscaper and check with council before work starts.

It depends on the state and the work. Structural landscaping such as retaining walls, paving and decks can fall under building licence rules above a set value, while garden maintenance usually doesn’t need one.

Most warm-season turf establishes best from spring to early autumn, when it is actively growing. Ask your landscaper which variety suits your sun, shade and water use.
