How much does a landscape job cost in Five Dock?
Most Five Dock landscape jobs land between $8,500 and $22,000, with the typical job around $13,500. The unit pricing here covers 50m² paving + 10m retaining + 30m² turf, supplied + installed inc GST. Larger spans, premium finishes and hard access push you toward the top end; straightforward swaps and standard specs sit near the bottom.
What affects the landscape jobs price in Five Dock?
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. The Karven calculator asks for each input and recalculates the total as you type.
Are these prices including GST?
Yes. Every figure on this page is GST-inclusive, supplied and installed. The Karven quoting tool defaults to GST-inclusive line items and adds the 10% line at the bottom of the customer PDF so the maths is transparent.

Karven generates a branded itemised PDF in 4 minutes once the job inputs are in. Five Dock customers typically get the PDF on the same visit, e-signed within 24 hours. Sign up free, your first week is on us, no card.
Do Five Dock 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, the Karven template prompts for the line item so it lands on the customer's PDF — no surprise costs after the job starts.
