Frequently asked questions

Do landscapers need a licence?
Licensing requirements vary by state. In Queensland, landscapers need a QBCC licence for structural work over $3,300. In NSW, landscape work valued over $5,000 requires a contractor licence. Check your state regulator.
How should a landscaper quote for ongoing maintenance?
Provide a per-visit rate or monthly retainer covering mowing, edging, pruning, and weeding. List included services clearly and specify any extras (e.g., fertilising, pest treatment) that will be invoiced separately.
Can a landscaper claim GST credits on plants and materials?
Yes, if you are GST-registered. Keep tax invoices from nurseries and suppliers, and claim the GST credits on your BAS. This includes plants, soil, mulch, pavers, and hired equipment.
What should a work order include?
A work order should include: job description, location, assigned personnel, required materials, timeline, special instructions, and approval signatures.
