Drainage, slopes and sub-tropical growth

Brisbane's storms drop a lot of rain quickly, so drainage and the fall of the ground matter more than the plants: water has to leave the yard without undermining walls or flooding low corners. Many suburbs are hilly, which makes retaining walls common. Sub-tropical plants grow fast, so ask which species suit the spot and how much trimming they will need.

Before you hire a landscaping in Brisbane

  • Send wide photos of the yard, its access and any sloped or wet areas.
  • Explain whether you want planting, hard surfaces, turf or ongoing maintenance.
  • Ask who supplies plants and materials and who removes soil or green waste.
  • For walls or major drainage work, confirm who designs and performs that part.

Common questions

Do I need a permit to remove or prune trees when landscaping in Brisbane?
Some trees are protected under Brisbane City Council’s Natural Assets Local Law, and work on them needs a permit. Check with the council before the landscaper removes any large tree.
What is the difference between landscaping and lawn mowing?
Landscaping changes the layout or features of a garden. Lawn mowing is regular cutting and maintenance; some providers offer both.
Can a landscaper help with a soggy yard?
They can assess grading, surfaces and garden drainage. More involved stormwater connections may require another qualified trade, so describe where the water collects.
