(About)
Landscape design and construction for Brisbane homes and commercial properties.
Trimscapes has been designing and building landscapes across greater Brisbane since 2010. Design, planting, paving, retaining walls, fencing and construction are handled by one team, planned together from the first sketch, so the finished space reads as a single considered composition and not a set of separate jobs.

(FAQs)
Landscaping questions, answered
Do I need council approval before starting landscaping work in Brisbane?
Not every landscaping project needs approval, but retaining walls, pools, pool fencing, decks, sheds, major excavation and work affected by planning overlays may require it. A retaining wall may avoid building approval only when it meets specific height, loading, location and pool fencing conditions. Check the property through Brisbane City Plan and speak with a building certifier before structural work begins.
Who is responsible for a retaining wall between neighbouring properties?
Retaining walls are not treated as dividing fences under Queensland law. Responsibility usually rests with the property that benefits from the wall or the owner of the land where it is located. Confirm the boundary and discuss the work with your neighbour before construction begins. Retaining wall disputes can become complex, so independent legal advice may be necessary when ownership or responsibility is unclear.
How should drainage be planned before installing paving, turf or retaining walls?
Drainage should be planned before paving, turf, garden beds or retaining walls are installed. The design should account for finished levels, surface falls, existing stormwater, subsoil drainage behind walls, irrigation, and where runoff will travel during heavy rain. Resolving these details early reduces the risk of ponding, erosion, damaged planting and water being redirected toward buildings or neighbouring properties.
