How much does a landscape job cost in Double Bay?
A rough guide for Double Bay is about $15,100, with most estimates between $9,500 and $24,650. It covers 50m² paving + 10m retaining + 30m² turf, supplied + installed inc GST.

What affects the landscape jobs price in Double Bay?
Five things move the number most: scope (size, span, thickness), material grade, site access (driveway, levels, parking for a truck), labour rate set by the crew you pick, and any compliance work specific to the Sydney council.
Are these prices including GST?
Yes. Every figure on this page is GST-inclusive, supplied and installed. A written quote from a GST-registered tradie should show the total including GST.
How quickly can I get a written quote for a landscape job in Double Bay?
Most tradies can give you a written quote within a few days of seeing the job.
Do Double Bay landscape jobs need council approval?
Garden + paving + turf jobs are usually exempt in NSW. Retaining walls over 1m and any structural / drainage changes typically need a development application and engineer-stamped plans. If a permit or compliance check is needed, ask for it to be listed on the quote, so there are no surprise costs after the job starts.
