Perth, WA . price report
Landscaping cost in Perth
Landscaping costs are usually quoted per square metre for turf, paving and retaining walls, or as a fixed price for a full backyard project. Material choice and site access drive most of the variation, and a simple maintenance visit costs a fraction of a full redesign with hardscaping.

The national ranges below are the honest baseline for Perth: no published Perth-specific figures met our sourcing bar, so local quotes land inside these bands, with WA labour rates and disposal fees the main local variables. This edition therefore points at the national Landscaping report as the canonical version until a sourced Perth figure lands.

Figures are GST-inclusive guides compiled from published Australian cost sources. Bars sit on a shared log-scale axis (declared on the chart), so per-unit rates and whole-job prices read together; colour marks the position, money-green at the value end to ochre at the premium end.

Common questions#
How much does a basic backyard landscaping project cost?
A basic backyard makeover with turf, garden beds and simple hardscaping typically costs $5,000 to $20,000. More complex redesigns with retaining walls and paving cost more.
Is natural or synthetic turf cheaper to lay?
Natural turf supply and lay costs $15 to $40 per square metre, which is cheaper upfront than synthetic turf, though synthetic needs no mowing or watering afterwards.
What drives the price of a retaining wall?
Retaining walls run $150 to $500 per square metre for timber sleeper construction, with concrete sleeper walls pricing higher again due to material and engineering requirements.
Do landscapers charge by the hour or by the job?
Most landscaping work is quoted as a fixed project price rather than hourly, though hourly rates for a qualified landscaper run $55 to $110 per hour for smaller tasks like mulching or clean-ups.
