Landscaping services

Outdoor work makes up the largest group, from the first design sketch to the care that keeps a garden in shape. The landscaping in Canberra page shows how the parts fit together.

  • Residential landscaping

    Houses and townhouses where the yard has to suit family life, entertaining or low upkeep. Read about residential landscaping.

  • Commercial landscaping

    Grounds for businesses, strata committees and body corporates, kept tidy for staff, tenants and visitors. See commercial landscaping.

  • Retaining walls

    Timber sleeper, concrete block and natural stone walls that turn a slope into usable ground. See how we build a retaining wall.

  • Gardening services

    Weeding, pruning, hedge trimming, mulching and green waste removal are all part of our gardening services.

  • Landscape design

    A layout, plants and materials worked out for your block before anything is built. Start with landscape design.

  • Lawn care and mowing

    Mowing, edging, feeding, weed control and repairs, from the business named Best Lawn Care Services in South Canberra in 2026. Book lawn mowing.

  • Artificial turf

    Synthetic grass for spots where real lawn struggles or mowing is a chore, laid on a prepared base. Compare artificial turf.

  • Landscapers

    Abs leads the team and works on the jobs himself, as client reviews mention. Meet our landscapers.

  • Pergola installation

    Timber or steel pergolas fixed to the house or freestanding in the yard, and repairs to older frames. Find out about pergola installation.

  • Landscaping cost

    What shapes the price of a landscaping job and how a quote is put together. Read the landscaping cost guide.

Earthmoving and excavation services

Groundwork comes first on many projects: digging, trenching, levelling and clearing so a site is ready to build on, pave or plant. Our excavation services page covers footings, service trenches, pool digs and full site preparation.

  • Drainage excavation

    Trenches and regraded ground that take stormwater off a soggy yard and away from the house. Learn about drainage excavation.

  • Bobcat

    Open-ground earthwork with an operator: shaping a yard to a set fall, levelling for turf or digging out a pool. Arrange bobcat hire.

  • Mini digger hire

    Two options: hire the compact excavator on its own, or have our operator run it. Details are under mini digger hire.

  • Earth moving

    Shifting, levelling and clearing soil on house blocks and commercial sites. Read about earth moving.

House maintenance services

Around the house, the work runs from a single small repair to a full renovation. The house maintenance page also lists handyman jobs such as door repairs, mounting and furniture assembly.

  • Home renovations

    Renovation work inside and out, carried out under our Kitchen Bathroom Laundry Renovator and Carpenter licences. See home renovations.

  • Roof restorations

    The bigger job for a roof that leaks or has tired ridge capping, flashings or fascia. Read about roof restorations.

  • Roof maintenance and gutter cleaning

    Regular roof checks and cleared gutters between the bigger jobs. Book gutter cleaning.

When one job needs several services

Plenty of projects cross the groups. A new backyard might start with bobcat levelling, then need a retaining wall, drainage, turf and planting. Each project has a dedicated project manager, so one person coordinates the stages whichever pages they sit under.
