Landscaping in Gungahlin
New-build yards, retaining walls, paving, drainage and turf for Gungahlin homes — built from the groundwork up by a local Canberra crew.
Landscape construction in Gungahlin
Gungahlin is Canberra's newest town and most of our work here starts the same way: a brand-new house handed over with a bare, compacted-clay yard and not much else. Suburbs like Taylor, Throsby, Jacka, Casey and Moncrieff are full of blocks where the builder's job finished at the back door.
That makes groundwork the priority. Compacted fill and clay mean poor drainage straight out of the gate, and many newer blocks are tighter and more sloping than older Canberra suburbs, so levels and retaining need to be worked out before turf or paving goes down. Get it right once and it doesn't need redoing.
Typical Gungahlin jobs for us are full backyard builds for new homes — levelling, drainage, a retaining wall or two, a paved entertaining area, turf and hardy screen planting along the fence line for privacy.
Why Gungahlin locals call us
Most Gungahlin yards are new-build blocks on compacted clay, so drainage, levels and retaining have to be done properly first — which is exactly where we start.

Can you do my yard straight after handover from the builder?
Yes. Taking a new-build yard from bare dirt to finished landscape is one of our core jobs, and it's easier and cheaper to do it properly from scratch.
Do I need to check with anyone before landscaping a new Gungahlin block?
It's worth checking your lease conditions and any estate guidelines for front-yard landscaping. We'll flag anything that commonly applies when we quote.
Can you add privacy screening along a new fence?
Yes — hedge and screen planting that suits Canberra's climate is part of most new-build jobs we do.
