In Queensland, structural landscaping — retaining walls, decks, pergolas, fences and paving — needs a QBCC licence for jobs over $3,300, so check that first for anything beyond planting and maintenance.
Check their QBCC licence.
Building work valued over $3,300 — including retaining walls, decks, pergolas, fences and paving — must be done by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Search the business on the QBCC licensee register (https://my.qbcc.qld.gov.au/myQBCC/s/qbcc-licensee-register) or call 139 333.
Check whether your retaining wall needs approval.
A structural landscaping licence covers retaining walls only up to the height that doesn't need engineering certification. Taller walls need an engineer and may need council approval.
Get two or three itemised quotes.
Compare materials, drainage, soil preparation and plant sizes, not just the total.
Ask about drainage.
Retaining walls and paving need proper drainage behind and under them. Ask how it's included in the quote.
Get a written contract for bigger jobs.
In Queensland, domestic building work over $3,300 (including GST) needs a written, signed contract. Check it lists the scope, price, start date and how variations are handled.
Check reviews and past work.
Ask for photos of similar projects and look for reviews from jobs like yours.
Confirm public liability insurance
and ask what warranty applies to plants and structures.
If structural landscaping work is defective, you can lodge a complaint with the QBCC on 139 333.
