Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Feb 14, 2014 5:22 pm Hi all, I'm currently looking at a new build in Warringah in Sydney's northern beaches, and whilst the process I've been quoted for the build seem reasonable, my builder is currently quoting me $125,000 - $150,000 for the landscaping. This seems very excessive to me - we'd need a couple of retaining walls, steps and fencing, plant wise would be bamboo for screening at the rear and grass front and back. Is this a typical cost for a simple landscape in a new build?? We bargained for about $40,000, so it's thrown our budget into chaos! Re: Landscaping costs for a new build in Sydney? 2Jun 09, 2014 8:20 pm Hi Kopite, I'm not an expert in landscape design but to me any amount over $100,000 seems like an overkill, especially for small-scale home landscaping services in Sydney area. I guess the fact that it's a new build adds up a little to the cost, but $150,000 just sounds expensive. Did you hire them anyway, are they finished with the landscaping already? I'll be happy if you share with us how much you paid for the job in total. Re: Landscaping costs for a new build in Sydney? 3Jun 09, 2014 8:50 pm Maybe some photos of the area and a sketch of what you want done. I do landscaping for a number of builders in Melbourne, VIC and your quote made me question what the heck I am doing! But seriously tell them to get a grip and show us the details of what you have there Re: Landscaping costs for a new build in Sydney? 4Jun 10, 2014 10:10 am I recently got a quote for $100k by my builder. Admittedly this was for a large block and included retaining walls, fencing and the driveway but seriously, $100K I've spoken to a specialist landscaper since and we're confident of getting it all done for circa $50k with a bit of labour on my part.
