We break down realistic landscaping budgets for Gold Coast projects — from a simple paving job to a full outdoor transformation.
One of the most common questions we receive from Gold Coast homeowners is: "How much will my landscaping project cost?" The honest answer is that it depends — but we can give you realistic ranges based on our experience across hundreds of Gold Coast projects.
Small Projects ($5,000–$20,000) This budget covers smaller scope work: a new garden bed with corten steel edging, a section of paving or crazy paving, a timber deck, or a simple retaining wall. These projects typically take 1–2 weeks.
Medium Projects ($20,000–$60,000) This is the most common budget range for Gold Coast homeowners undertaking a meaningful outdoor transformation. It covers a pool area paving project, a full entertaining area with pergola and outdoor kitchen, or a significant retaining and garden design.
Large Projects ($60,000–$150,000+) Full outdoor transformations — pool area, entertaining zone, retaining walls, driveway, garden design, and lighting — fall into this range. These are comprehensive projects that typically take 6–12 weeks.
What Drives Cost? The key cost drivers in any landscaping project are: materials (natural stone is more expensive than concrete), site access and preparation, the complexity of the design, and the scope of earthworks required.
