How long does a landscaping project take?

The duration of a landscaping project will vary depending on the size and scope of work. Here’s a general breakdown by project size and service:

• Small Projects (e.g., garden beds, lawn installation, simple plantings):
  Typically takes 1-2 days to a week.
• Medium Projects (e.g., backyard renovation, small paving areas, decking, irrigation systems):
  Usually takes 1-3 weeks.
• Large Projects (e.g., complete landscape redesign, structural landscaping with retaining walls, large paving areas, outdoor living spaces):
  Can take 4-8 weeks or longer.

Do I need council approval for landscaping?

In Brisbane, council approval for landscaping projects is sometimes required, depending on the nature of the work and local regulations.

Generally, you will require approval for projects like retaining walls over 1 meter height, decks, pergolas, sheds that exceed certain heights or are near property boundaries, significant earthworks, and fences over 2 meters. Additionally, approval is necessary for removing protected vegetation, installing water features that impact drainage, and changing properties in heritage or character areas. Basic landscaping tasks, such as planting, mulching, and lawn installation, typically don’t require council approval.
