When planning a landscape project it is important to be realistic of your budget and the cost of landscape works. To assist you, a rough guide for estimating the cost of your project (as at February 2006) based on 60% soft works (planting, soil, mulch etc) + 40% hard landscaping (paving, walling etc) $84 - $102 per square metre. This cost will vary according to site conditions, access, and demolition and does not allow for design, maintenance, design details such as curved walls, steps etc., semi-mature planting or furniture. Hard landscaping is more labour intensive and therefore more expensive. |
