Service Overview
Backyard design and construction that starts with how you use the space
A backyard makeover works best when paving, planting, retaining, turf, and outdoor living zones are planned as one project rather than separate jobs.
Most backyards involve more than one type of work. The paving needs to connect to the retaining. The lawn needs proper levels and drainage underneath. The planting needs to account for sun, privacy, and maintenance. Nazscapes handles all of it together so the finished backyard works as a single space.
Whether you need a full backyard renovation or a focused upgrade to one area, every project starts with a site visit. We walk the space with you, talk through how the backyard needs to function, and put together a scope that covers layout, materials, planting, drainage, and staging.
- Free on-site consultation before any commitment
- Materials and planting selected for Sydney conditions
- Clear scope, pricing, and staging before construction starts
- One team from earthworks through to planting and handover

Common Questions
Questions about backyard landscaping sydney
The answers below cover the questions clients ask most often before they commit to design, construction, or staged upgrades.
How much does backyard landscaping cost in Sydney?
It depends on the size of the space and what is involved. A focused garden refresh can start from around $5,000. A full backyard makeover with paving, retaining, turf, planting, and drainage typically ranges from $15,000 to $50,000 or more. We provide a detailed written quote after a free site visit.
Can you work with a sloping or difficult backyard?
Yes. Sloping and awkward backyards are common across Sydney. Nazscapes uses retaining walls, terracing, drainage, and considered level changes to turn difficult sites into usable outdoor space.
Do you handle the design and construction?
Yes. Nazscapes manages the full project from the initial site visit and design conversation through to construction, planting, and handover. One team, one point of contact.
How long does a backyard landscaping project take?
Smaller upgrades can be completed in one to two weeks. A full backyard makeover with paving, retaining, turf, planting, and drainage typically takes three to six weeks depending on size, weather, and the complexity of the structural work.
Can you stage the backyard project over time?
Yes. Many clients start with the most important zone, such as the entertaining area or lawn, and stage later work like planting, lighting, or pool integration. Nazscapes plans the scope so staged work connects properly when it happens.
Do I need council approval for backyard landscaping?
Most backyard landscaping does not require council approval. However, retaining walls over a certain height, significant tree removal, or structures near boundaries may need permits depending on your local council. Nazscapes can advise on this during the site visit.
