📅 When to book
Design work 4-8 weeks lead time. Routine maintenance — most operators have 1-2 week turnaround. Emergency work (storm-fallen trees) — same-day chipping/removal services exist separately.
📋 License & verification
Landscape construction over $3,300 requires QBCC Landscape Licence. Tree removal of certain species needs council vegetation permits (Brisbane City Council, Gold Coast City Council both regulate). Confirm before quote.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Removing protected vegetation without permit — fines into the thousands
- •Booking irrigation install before slab/decking — retrofit is 2-3× more expensive
- •No drainage plan — SEQ's heavy summer storms turn poorly-graded gardens into bogs; getting fall and drainage right before turf or paving saves an expensive redo
Landscapers in Central — FAQs
Can I remove a tree on my own property without a permit?
It depends. Brisbane City Council protects significant trees and most native species; non-native trees under specific size thresholds are exempt. Always check the BCC Vegetation Protection Order before cutting.
How long does landscape design take?
Concept design 2-4 weeks, detailed documentation another 4-8 weeks, construction 4-12 weeks for a typical residential project. Total project: 3-6 months from first call to handover.
What does regular garden maintenance cost?
Recurring mowing and garden tidy for a standard residential block is usually priced per visit on a fortnightly or monthly cycle, depending on block size and scope. Ongoing maintenance is far cheaper per visit than a one-off catch-up cleanup.
When's the best time to landscape in SEQ?
Autumn and early spring are ideal for planting and turf — the soil's warm but the extreme summer heat and storm season have passed. Hardscaping like paving, retaining walls and decks can be done year-round.
