How much does a full backyard renovation cost on the Gold Coast?

There is no standard price, because a full backyard renovation is really several projects rolled into one: excavation, retaining, drainage, paving, turf and planting, all sequenced together. Golden Triangle Landscaping inspects the whole property, scopes every stage, and gives you a fixed quote within 24 hours instead of a rate per square metre.

What makes a backyard renovation different to a single job

A retaining wall or a turf install is one line item. A full backyard renovation stacks several of those jobs on top of each other and runs them in the right order, so the cost depends on how many stages the property actually needs, not a single rate. We have handled backyards that started as two separate blocks amalgamated into one, backyards with an old pool infilled first, and steep blocks cut into tiered, usable levels with retaining, coastal planting and turf. Each one is priced as its own project.

What drives the cost of a full renovation

The main factors are the same ones that drive any landscaping job, just multiplied across a bigger scope: site access for machinery, how much excavation and retaining the levels need, drainage, the materials for walls, paving and edging, the area of turf, and the maturity of the planting. A flat, easy-access backyard with a simple brief is a different job to a sloping canal-front block that needs structural work before anything else can go in.

Typical price ranges

We are not publishing figures on this page, because a full renovation covers too many variables for a single number to mean anything. Send through your suburb, roughly what you are picturing and photos of the space, and Jess will come back with exact numbers in a fixed quote within 24 hours. See how much a retaining wall or turf installation typically involves if your renovation is mostly one of those.
