Pricing, honestly

How quotes are calculated

Quotes depend on area size, ground condition, materials, access and waste. Send photographs, approximate measurements, access information and a description of how you want the area to look.

What's not included

Frank doesn't undertake structural retaining walls, major excavation, engineered drainage, large-scale landscape construction, concreting, major paving, building work or large tree removal. And a note on turf honesty: new turf needs proper watering, sunlight and ongoing care — establishment is affected by soil, drainage, shade, heat, pets and foot traffic, so aftercare matters as much as the install.

Areas

Small landscaping for new estates across North-West Sydney

A lot of this work is in the newer estates, where yards are handed over as bare dirt or thin turf laid on compacted clay.

The order that works is ground first, then turf, then beds, then edging and pebbles. Turf laid straight onto clay that machinery has packed down roots shallowly and struggles through its first summer, so preparing the ground properly is where most of the value is. Defined beds, edging and a proper layer of mulch then make a new yard look finished well before the plants fill in.

Box Hill, Marsden Park, Tallawong, Schofields and Riverstone are all on Frank's regular run. If your suburb isn't listed, text and ask — it's usually a quick yes or no.

FAQs

Common questions

How long does new turf take to establish?

Typically several weeks of consistent watering before it knits down, longer in tough conditions. Frank provides basic aftercare guidance with every turf job — the watering you do in the first month decides the result.

Can you build a retaining wall?

Structural retaining walls, major excavation and engineered work aren't provided — those need licensed trades. Raised garden beds and basic sleeper edging are within scope.

Do you do full landscape designs?

This service covers small, practical improvements — turf sections, beds, edging, pebbles and planting. Large-scale landscape construction needs a full landscaping company.

Do you do small landscaping in Box Hill and the new estates?

Yes. Box Hill, Marsden Park, Tallawong, Schofields and Riverstone are all on the regular run, and new-build yards make up a big share of this work — turf preparation, garden beds, edging and mulch on yards that were handed over as bare dirt.

How much does small landscaping cost?

It's quoted individually, because area, ground condition, materials, access and waste all change the number. Text photos, rough measurements and a note on how you want the area to look, and Frank will come back with a price or let you know if he needs to see the ground first.

Should the turf or the garden beds go in first?

Ground preparation first, then turf, then beds and edging. Getting compacted clay broken up and levelled before turf goes down is what decides whether a new lawn survives its first summer, and marking out the beds early stops you laying turf where a bed should be.
