Landscaping Construction Process 

It first starts by assessing your property's boundaries and natural levels with a concept design and a detailed masterplan. Then, we begin the construction, supervision and final completion of your garden.

It means we manage the whole thing. Foliage Landscaping handles every tradesperson, every contact, every moving part from first concept to final handover. You're not left juggling contractors or chasing details; the process is designed to feel seamless from your end.

Definitely. Our 'completed works' phase covers debris removal, final inspections and any last touch-ups so you're handed a genuinely finished space. Every client also gets our Champagne Service, which elevates this clean-up into a complete, stress-free handover.

Mostly, yes. We handle design, construction, renovation and site clean-up all in-house with one dedicated team, keeping quality and communication consistent. For specialist work like glass fencing or major concreting, we bring in trusted experts to round out the job.

Sometimes. Projects such as building over easements or within 1m of your boundary can require council approval. Installation of decks, retaining walls over 1m, and larger pergolas also require a building permit. It doesn't depend on the size of the project, but what's legally required. 

Sometimes. Small jobs like planting or edging usually don't need approval, but bigger works that involve retaining walls, major earthworks, or drainage changes generally do, depending on your council. We'll tell you upfront what's needed so there are no surprises mid-project.

Soft landscaping is the living side, such as soil, plants, lawn, and garden beds management. Hard landscaping is everything structural, such as paving, driveways, fencing, and concrete. A good outdoor space needs both working together, which is why we plan them side by side rather than as separate jobs.

Yes, we perform quality inspections throughout the construction process and at the end. Regular checks during the build catch issues early and keep everything to design and safety standards, and a final inspection confirms the finished landscape meets every requirement before we hand it over.
