How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Perth? (2025 Guide)

Landscaping your Perth home is one of the best investments you can make — both for your enjoyment and for property value. But costs can vary enormously depending on what you're doing, who you hire, and the size of your property. Here's a realistic guide to landscaping costs in Perth in 2025.

Basic Garden Maintenance Costs

For ongoing maintenance: lawn mowing on a standard suburban block typically costs $50–$120 per visit. A fortnightly or monthly garden maintenance service (mowing, pruning, weeding) generally costs $60–$150 per hour. A one-off garden clean-up (half day) runs $250–$600, depending on how overgrown things are and whether green waste removal is included.

Turf and Lawn Costs

Supplying and laying new turf in Perth costs roughly $15–$30 per square metre, including ground preparation, turf supply, and installation. For a typical 100m² front lawn, budget $1,500–$3,000. The variety (couch vs buffalo vs zoysia) and ground preparation needed affect the final price significantly.

Reticulation Installation

A new reticulation system for a standard Perth home (front and back) typically costs $2,000–$6,000+, depending on garden size, number of zones, and whether you choose a basic timer or a smart controller system. Reticulation repairs are usually $150–$600 depending on the fault.

Landscaping Design and Construction

A full landscaping project (design, earthworks, paving, plants, turf, and irrigation) for a typical suburban Perth block can range from $8,000 to $50,000+. Most landscapers quote on a project basis after an initial site visit. Get at least three quotes for any project over $5,000.
