If your yard doesn’t work — a slope you can’t use, bare dirt left after a build, levels that send water the wrong way — that’s what this page is about. We take on residential and commercial landscaping in Gilldora and across the wider Gympie region, including the excavation, retaining and concreting that a built outcome usually depends on. If you want a one-off mow or garden tidy, we’re not the right call.
Do we come to Gilldora? Yes — we service Gilldora, homes and businesses alike.
Landscaping in Gilldora
You end up with ground you can actually use. That might be a flat, usable area carved out of a slope and held by a retaining wall. It might be a driveway, path or slab that sits level and sheds water away from the house. It might be shaped beds, topsoil and turf that establish instead of washing out, with fencing to close the space off.
The point is that the parts work together. Drainage, levels, retaining and surfaces get decided as one design, so you’re not fixing a soft edge or a wet corner a season later.
How it works
We come out and look at the site with you — what you want, where the water goes, how machinery gets in. Access and fall drive most of the decisions, so that happens on site, not over the phone.
Then you get a written quote with the scope set out: what’s being moved, what’s being built, what’s being planted. Once you’re happy with it, we book in.
On site the order is usually excavation and levels first, then any structural work like retaining or footings, then concrete, then soil, turf, planting and fencing. We clear the site down and walk it with you at the end so anything outstanding gets dealt with while we’re still there.
What it costs
Landscaping is priced off the work, not the square metre, so the honest answer is that it depends on a few things you can see on your own block.
Access matters most. If a machine can get to the work, a job that would take days by hand takes hours. Then it’s how much earth has to move and where it goes, how high any retaining has to stand, whether drainage needs to be built in, and what you choose for surfaces and planting.
You’ll get a fixed written quote before anything starts, with the scope itemised, so you can see what’s driving the number and cut or add scope before you commit.
Getting started
Call or message us with a rough description of the site and what you want out of it — photos of the area and anything sloping or wet are genuinely useful. We’ll arrange a time to come out, take levels and measurements, and talk through options on site. You’ll have a written quote after that, and no obligation to go ahead with it.
Common questions
Do you cover Gilldora, or just Gympie itself?
We work across Gympie and the surrounding area, Gilldora included. Travel is part of the site visit, so mention your location when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it before we book anything.
Can you do the retaining wall and the concreting, or do I need separate trades?
We do both, along with excavation and fencing. That’s the reason we quote the yard as one job — levels, retaining, drainage and surfaces all affect each other, and splitting them across trades is where problems usually start.
Will I get a price before the work starts?
Yes. We look at the site first, then give you a written quote with the scope set out — what’s being excavated, built, poured and planted. Nothing starts until you’ve accepted it.
Do you take on commercial work as well as houses?
Both. Residential and commercial projects are handled the same way: site visit, written scope and quote, then the build.
