How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Western Sydney?

Typical price ranges (2026)

Supplied and installed, as a rough local guide:

• Turf — about $14–$25 per m² laid (plus soil prep)
• Retaining walls — about $250–$600 per lineal metre depending on height and material
• Paving — about $80–$160 per m² depending on the paver
• Garden beds and planting — from a few hundred dollars to several thousand
• Full backyard makeover — commonly $15,000–$50,000+

Most homeowners stage the work — structure and turf first, planting and features later — which spreads the cost.

What drives the price

• Site access — can machinery get in, or is it wheelbarrow work?
• Levels and slope — sloping blocks need retaining and drainage
• Soil and prep — our reactive clay often needs improving before turf or planting
• Materials — the spread between budget and premium pavers, turf and screening is large
• Drainage — getting water away properly is money well spent out here
