Top Landscape Designers related questions
Garden design and landscaping costs depend on your choice of features. In Australia, retaining walls cost $450 to $700 per square metre; swimming pool at $25,000 per installation; decks at $200 to $1,000 per square metre; patios at $40 to $90 per square metre; irrigation systems at $1,000 to $10,000 per installation; walkways at $50 to $55 per square metre; water fountains at $50 to $1,500 per design. Landscape design rates vary depending on the landscape styles, features, size and complexity of the project, materials needed, and more.
The skill and expertise of a landscape designer are hard to replicate. If you want to make the most out of a landscape build or refurbishment, getting a landscape designer to do the job is the wisest choice. From start to the end of the process, they can provide professional assistance that will set your landscape at a high standard. Quit the confusing process thanks to experts in landscape design.
Some landscape designers are trained like landscape architects, although they are usually not required to get a state licence to use a title and complete the job. Some designers, however, might have acquired other relevant permits and specialised permits and certificates.
The key benefit is how you don’t have to pay for the overhead costs, which means you can get the same professional service without overspending. They’re also more flexible in terms of scheduling, allowing them to accommodate your requests quicker than engaging with other busy companies. Simply post your task and find freelance experts on Airtasker.
The exact time frame can’t be provided; it usually depends on the architect’s skills and capabilities, the scope of the project, and necessary revisions. After the preliminary research and analysis, it is safe to give them at least a few days or weeks to craft an efficient strategy. You can also ask them for a more accurate estimation.
Landscape designers can craft your ideal landscape plan, but they are not licenced to produce construction service. Meanwhile, landscape architects are licenced and qualified to provide construction-ready layouts and also supervise the whole project for you. Since their experience involves designing complex construction features such as plumbing and excavations, it’s best to hire them if you’re building a landscape from scratch. Landscape designers are more suitable if you’re remodelling an existing outdoor space.
You can directly ask your architect if they are licenced to do landscape-related projects. To further check their qualifications, we recommend asking them for a photo of licence and ID, as well as certificates in case they have attended specialised training or seminars. When in doubt, there are some available industry databases where you can verify their licence status.
Definitely. Not limited to residential projects, you can hire architects on Airtasker to design, plan, and supervise commercial projects. They can ensure that your project will go smoothly and according to the plan, while also complying with state regulations. When it comes to commercial hardscape or softscape construction, landscape contractors can also take on the job.
Absolutely. Through Airtasker, you can find a range of landscape specialists who can help you maximise your outdoor space. If you have a front lawn, there’s a pool of lawn care experts who can help trim grass or keep the weeds away. You can also connect with cleaning specialists who can keep your backyard garden tidy.

What does a landscape design service include?
Landscape design sounds like a tall order; good thing landscape designers exist to help organise your ideas. Whether you aim to redesign your childhood backyard or develop a brand new concept you find difficult to unpack, a skilled and creative landscape designer can deliver a detailed final plan, either printed or digitally produced.
Explore these services:
Landscape analysis
To ensure a systematic process, the Tasker does an initial site visit first. It allows landscape designers to fully understand your style so they can come up with a solution that will best reflect your personality and choice of aesthetics. Understanding your location, lifestyle, and climate will help them better plan and gauge possible challenges. It’s best to also discuss your ideas, budget, and other requests during this phase.
Should unforeseen circumstances arise and the designer won’t be able to show up to your place, you can instead send them photos of your current landscape and discuss through messaging.
Those specifically booked for landscape architecture can also perform a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis—this gives the architect a better idea of what materials and landscape structures will bring the best outdoor living space.
Landscape planning and design proposal
Next, the specialist in landscape design comes up with the initial design proposal based on the gathered insights and discussions with you. The sketches and the layout can be presented through pen-and-paper or digital means. In this phase, you’ll be able to have a clearer idea of how your future landscape will look like. If you’re requesting a garden design, you’ll be able to visualise suggested features like plants, flowers, hedges, trees, pathways, and the turf.
If you want a little boost, you can ask your Tasker to include pools, garden bench seats, water features like ponds and waterfalls, and even a gazebo. Most of all, there should be open communication—don’t hesitate to give your feedback so the expert can make necessary revisions until you feel satisfied with the design.
A landscape architect can also provide sketch designs, prepare a list of recommended hardscape and softscape materials, budget range, and estimated time frame. You can also communicate modifications or replacements to avoid future disputes.
Landscape final concept plan
The landscape design process usually caps off with a final concrete plan that will guide you towards the correct execution. Once the design proposal is approved, your designer hands over a final concept plan—which typically contains 2D or 3D visuals—furniture and material recommendations and samples, demolitions if applicable, and detailed plan for each landscape feature.
Landscape project implementation
An expert you hired for landscape architecture can also professionally oversee the implementation to ensure a smooth-running project. Since they sketched the landscape design, they can also help verify if the construction and installation are going according to plan. They can also check for potential risks and address them before costly damages happen.
Ready for the next stage? On Airtasker, you can find contractors to do the building and installation for your new outdoor living space.

Arncliffe NSW 2205, Australia
29th Dec 2025
I need someone to help plan my garden. I have a rough idea of what I want but can't figure out where to put what and how to make it look organic and modern without it looking messy and wild. I need a landscape designer to give me spacific companion plants to plant (mostly edible). The ground cover (and plants) should be child friendly (toddler and baby) and low maintenance. There's a sandpit in the middle as you can see but happy to change it to another location if needed. It's west facing so gets a lot of direct sun between 10 and 3. The back area with trees will stay untouched so the area closer to the trees is more shady.
