Act House & Landscaping Maintenance is a locally owned company in Canberra, specialising in high-quality domestic and commercial property services. We deliver comprehensive Canberra landscaping and house maintenance solutions across the region, including the bustling district of Belconnen and surrounding suburbs.
Our team offers a broad spectrum of services designed to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your property. From initial design to ongoing upkeep, we ensure your outdoor spaces are beautiful, sustainable and practical for Canberra’s unique climate. Whether it is a major renovation or routine garden care, we focus on reliable, efficient workmanship that suits the local environment.
In Belconnen, properties range from established homes in suburbs like Kaleen and Bruce to new estates in Macnamara and Strathnairn. Effective landscaping in this district has to account for varied terrain, soil conditions and the look and feel of each street. Our tailored landscaping in Belconnen covers everything from garden design and turf installation through to complex earthmoving and drainage solutions.
A well-designed landscape can lift property value and improve daily lifestyle. We work with clients to create outdoor spaces that are both functional and visually appealing, complementing the architectural style of the home and the natural surroundings. Our services extend to inviting entertainment areas, practical garden beds, and robust retaining walls that handle Canberra’s undulating terrain.
For homeowners in new estates like Macnamara, a bare-block landscaping plan is invaluable. We help transform an empty block into a thriving garden, establishing essential elements like irrigation and proper drainage from the outset. This proactive approach saves time and money in the long run, preventing common issues that arise from inadequate planning. For more detail on the steps involved, our bare-block landscaping checklist walks through what to prioritise on a fresh build.
Beyond landscaping, we offer a full suite of house maintenance services that keep your property in top condition. This includes critical areas like roof maintenance, roof repair and gutter service, which protect your home from Canberra’s harsh weather. Regular attention in these areas can prevent costly damage and extend the life of your home.
Our team also handles general house renovations, door repair, window repair and fascia repair. These services are particularly useful for older homes in Belconnen’s established suburbs, such as Hawker, where properties may need updates to maintain structural integrity and street appeal. We focus on high-quality workmanship that stands the test of time.
Maintaining your home’s exterior is just as important as caring for its garden. From hot, dry summers to frosty winters, our maintenance work is designed to address these specific issues so your home remains secure and comfortable throughout the year.

Many landscaping and renovation projects require professional earthmoving and excavation. Whether you are preparing for a new retaining wall, installing a drainage system or reshaping your garden, our bobcat hire and excavation services provide the necessary groundwork. We have the equipment and expertise to handle projects of all sizes, ensuring efficient and precise site preparation.
Proper earthmoving is fundamental to the success of any major outdoor project. It ensures a stable foundation for structures, prevents erosion and allows for effective water management. Our team is experienced in navigating the soil conditions found across Belconnen, including areas with clay, to deliver consistent results.
We also offer affordable excavation services for both residential and commercial clients. Our operators carry out work safely and efficiently, minimising disruption to your property and surrounding areas. From small-scale trenching to larger site cuts, we are equipped to meet your project’s demands. If you are weighing up DIY versus hiring a specialist, our mini digger hire versus contractor guide is a useful starting point.
Retaining walls are often essential in Canberra’s undulating landscapes, particularly in areas like Belconnen. They help manage slopes, prevent soil erosion and create usable flat areas for gardens or patios. We design and construct durable retaining walls that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, using a range of materials to suit your property’s style.
Turf installation is another key service, transforming bare or patchy lawns into lush, green spaces. We advise on suitable turf varieties for Canberra’s climate and provide expert installation to support a healthy, long-lasting lawn. Coupled with regular garden maintenance in Canberra, your lawn and beds can stay tidy through every season.
Effective drainage is critical for preventing water damage and maintaining healthy landscapes. We design and install drainage systems that efficiently manage stormwater runoff, protecting your home’s foundation and preventing waterlogging in your garden. This is especially important in areas prone to heavy rainfall or with challenging soil types.
