Landscaping can be one of the most expensive investments you can make in your home. However, it is one of the most valuable outlays you can make. When you hire professional landscapers to design your lawn, you’ll have an outdoor space that is attractive and functional – one that can impress others and increase the market value of your property.
When hiring a landscaping company, there is no getting around the fact that the most important factor you will base your final decision on would be the contractor’s rates. In general, one of the key factors that affect the cost of landscaping is the list of specific tasks needed for your lawn or project.
The common services that landscapers will provide, which can increase the total price of your project, include:
Other factors that also have significant effects on the total cost of a landscaping project include the amount of labour and the cost of materials required for the project. And basically, the more plants, rocks, and structures you want, the more expensive your project will be.
In New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory, the current going rate for a typical landscaping project has a higher average cost. Whereas in Queensland and South Australia, charges will be lower since professional landscapers commonly charge less for their services.
To make sure you will get all your money’s worth, make sure your professional landscaper is licensed, insured, and comes recommended by their clients. You can also request for a quote first for your project and get details about what they will or will not cover before hiring a particular company.
