Landscape Construction — Canberra & Queanbeyan
Most failed Canberra gardens fail below the surface — poor drainage, no proper base, the wrong plants for our frosts. Legacy Landscape Construction builds complete landscapes from the groundwork up: excavation, retaining, paving, drainage, turf and planting, sequenced properly by one crew so you just enjoy the finished result.
Landscape Construction done properly
- Site preparation, excavation and levelling
- Retaining walls and garden edging
- Paving, paths and patios
- Surface and subsoil drainage
- Turf, garden beds and hardy planting
- New-build yards from bare builder's dirt
How the job runs
Site visit & plan
We look at levels, soil, drainage and how you want to use the yard, then give you a clear, itemised quote.
Groundwork
Excavation, levelling, drainage and bases go in first — the part most people never see, and the part that decides how long it lasts.
Hardscape
Retaining walls, paving, steps and edging are built on that prepared base.
Softscape & handover
Turf, soil, planting and mulch go in last, and we walk you through the finished job.
Common questions
Can you take a new-build block from bare dirt to finished yard?
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do. We handle the levels, drainage, retaining, paving, turf and planting as one project so nothing has to be redone later.
Do I need a landscape design before you start?
Not necessarily. For most residential yards we plan the layout with you on site. If you already have a landscape architect's plan, we'll build to it.
How long does a full backyard build take?
It depends on the size and how much structural work is involved — we'll give you a realistic timeframe with the quote, not a best-case guess.
Which areas do you cover?
Canberra, Gungahlin, Belconnen, Inner North, Inner South, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Molonglo Valley, Tuggeranong, Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong.
