    About

    Your Local Landscapers in Austral

    Living Green Outdoors provides full landscape design and construction services across Austral and the broader Liverpool City Council area. Based 10 minutes up the road in Hinchinbrook, we’ve been working on Austral blocks since the suburb’s earliest release stages and understand what newer estate homes here actually need, from blank-slate turfing and front yard kerb appeal through to full backyard packages with paving, retaining walls and covered entertaining areas.

    Most of our Austral clients are first or second homeowners in newer estates, working with bare yards left over from the builder and looking to turn them into properly usable family spaces. We handle the whole job from initial concept through to the final clean-up, design, council documentation where needed, materials supply, installation, and aftercare. Our crew runs the trades in-house rather than subcontracting, which keeps the timeline tight and the finish consistent across every part of the build.

    Local Conditions

    Landscaping in Austral — Local Conditions to Plan For

    Austral (postcode 2179) sits within the Liverpool City Council LGA and is one of the fastest-growing parts of the South West Growth Centre. Most homes here have been built in the last 5 to 10 years on smaller 300–450sqm blocks, so almost every job we take on starts with a blank slate, bare lawn and basic perimeter fencing left over from the builder.

    The soil across Austral is heavy clay, often compacted from construction fill, which means proper drainage and soil prep are essential before any planting or turf goes down. The flat, exposed terrain across most of the suburb also brings strong afternoon sun and westerly summer winds, which we factor into plant selection and the placement of pergolas, shade structures and screening.

    The most common jobs we get asked for in Austral are full backyard packages (turf, paving, retaining walls and a covered alfresco), front yard kerb appeal makeovers, and side-of-house storage solutions to make the most of the narrower block sizes typical of the newer estates.

    Heavy Clay Soil

    Compacted from construction fill — drainage & soil prep are essential before planting.

    Strong Afternoon Sun

    Flat exposed terrain brings harsh western sun — shade planning is critical.

    Westerly Summer Winds

    Persistent summer winds affect plant choice and screening placement.

    Compact 300–450sqm Blocks

    Narrower lots need smart storage and space-maximising designs.

    Robert came out to our place when the backyard was nothing but a dirt patch during our initial consultation. I knew I wanted artificial grass, but I wasn’t sure how it would work up against the fence line.

    He had some fantastic suggestions, including adding a small garden bed with white pebbles, which really helped tie the whole backyard together and create a great flow.

    I highly recommend Robert, not only for the quality of his work, but also for his excellent after-service. His communication was exceptional throughout the entire process, and he always kept me updated as the job progressed.

    We had Robert and the team from Living Green Outdoors recently complete an upgrade to our backyard. We went from dirt and patches of grass to a beautiful artificial lawn with stepping stones to our shed. It was such a smooth experience from start to finish. Robert walked us through every step of the process during our quotation and kept us updated each day during the works. We are so pleased with the final result and would have no hesitation in recommending them for your landscaping needs.

    We recently had Living Green Outdoors complete landscaping work on both our front yard and back yard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They completely transformed the entrance to our home and turned our back area into a beautiful, functional space we now love spending time in.

    Robert and the team did a fantastic job. Their attention to detail and pride in their workmanship really stood out. Everything was completed to a high standard, and the transformation speaks for itself.

    Robert was very pleasant to deal with, true to his word, and kept us informed every step of the way. When a few things didn’t work out as planned during the process, he was quick to provide solutions and make sure everything came together perfectly. We are very thankful for the effort and care this team put into our home.

    It’s refreshing to see a team so dedicated to delivering quality work and excellent service.

    Highly recommended, no doubt!

    Landscaping in Austral — Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does landscaping a new Austral home typically cost?
    Landscaping in Austral can be expensive, depending on what you want to achieve. The most common landscaping job in Austral that people do is a “front yard kerb appeal” package. This type of work normally ranges in price from $6,000-$15,000. If you want to create a complete backyard space using the same materials as above – turf, pavers, retaining wall, etc., this would likely cost anywhere from $20,000-$50,000+ (depending on size). Smaller jobs, such as installing only the turf on your average-sized estate block, could start from around $4,000. We can break down the work into stages to fit your budget, if necessary, after our first visit to your site.
    Do I need approval from council to undertake my landscaping project in Austral?

    Most types of landscaping work in Austral (turf, garden beds, paving, plants, timber decking less than 600mm high) will not require Liverpool Council Approval. Generally, most retaining walls built under 600mm in NSW do not need council approval. However, retaining walls greater than 600mm may need an engineer’s certification. Pools and pool surrounds, large decking and other items connected to the building itself can sometimes require approval. During the quote process, we will identify any areas requiring council sign-off.

    How long does a full backyard landscape package take to install in Austral?
    The length of time to complete a full backyard package in Austral (using similar products to those mentioned above), will depend on the size of your block and the weather. Normally, this type of job will take approximately 3-6 weeks of actual working time to complete onsite. Additionally, prior to starting any work, you will have 2-4 weeks to review the design and quote. Jobs of lesser complexity, i.e. front yard transformations or turf installation alone, are often completed within 1-2 weeks once work commences.
    Can you carry out landscaping on the smaller 300 – 450 sqm Austral blocks?
    Yes. We work primarily on these exact block sizes in Austral and are accustomed to making the most of what appears to be limited land space. Utilising side-of-house storage options, smart pavement designs, vertical gardening zones and appropriately scaled alfresco spaces helps compact lots look larger and more functional than originally planned by the builder.
    What is the best type of grass for use on Austral's clay soils and exposed sunlight?
    For establishing natural lawns in Austral we commonly recommend two varieties: Sir Walter Buffalo and Sir Grange. Both tolerate strong late-day sun exposure and prolonged periods of dryness, while being able to withstand moderate amounts of pedestrian activity. Kikuyu is another suitable alternative for larger blocks when there is less concern regarding rapid growth rates. Artificial Turf Premium is often preferable for pet enclosures, shaded areas, or non-maintenance front lawns due to the extreme heat of Australian summers.
    When is the ideal time to commence my landscaping project in Austral?
    Autumn (March-May) and Spring (Sept-November) are considered to be the optimal times to begin landscaping in Austral. At this time of year, the soil remains warm enough for newly planted turf and vegetation to grow rapidly; however, the ambient temperatures remain cool enough that water usage is relatively low. While landscaping projects can be undertaken during summer, the establishment of turf requires significantly more watering than during cooler months. Winter is an acceptable time for hard landscaping (paving, retaining walls, pergolas), although establishment of turf and vegetation occurs at a slower rate.
    Are complimentary onsite consultations available in Austral?
    Yes. Free, obligation-free onsite consultations are provided for residents across the entire Austral area and the surrounding Liverpool City Council region. Typically, each consultation takes around 30-45 minutes to complete; we’ll walk through your property together, discussing your objectives and budget, then provide you with a realistic estimate of what the overall project will cost and how many days/weeks the project will take before developing a formal quote.
