General questions

Which areas around Brisbane does Green Bear Landscaping cover?

We are based in Camp Hill and serve clients throughout Brisbane and South-East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. We are happy to travel to your property to assess the site and talk through your project. If you are not sure whether your suburb is within our service area, the quickest way to find out is to give us a call on 0413 119 558 and we will let you know.

What are your operating hours and are you available on weekends?

We operate Monday to Saturday and arrange site visits and work by appointment so we can give each project proper attention. The best way to lock in a time that suits you is to call us on 0413 119 558 or send an enquiry through our contact form. We will get back to you promptly to confirm a time. If you have a preferred day or time for a consultation, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate it.

How does Green Bear Landscaping approach quality on every project?

We are passionate about creating spectacular outdoor spaces that reflect your vision. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail means every project is completed to a high standard, with open communication at every step. We follow a clear process: consultation, design, construction and a final walkthrough to make sure you are satisfied. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional work at reasonable prices throughout Brisbane and the South-East.

What payment methods do you accept?

We will confirm the payment details for your project as part of your written quote, so everything is clear and agreed before work begins. If you have a preferred payment method or any questions about how and when payments are made, just raise it when we discuss your quote and we will talk it through with you. We aim to keep the whole process straightforward, with no surprises along the way.

How do I get a quote for my project?

Getting a quote is simple. Call us on 0413 119 558 or send an enquiry through our contact form with a few details about what you have in mind. We will arrange a time to visit your property, assess the site and talk through your options in person. You will then receive a clear written quote with no obligation, so you can take your time deciding before any work is booked.

Do you handle both fencing and full landscaping projects?

Yes. Green Bear Landscaping offers fencing, retaining walls and complete landscape design and construction, and many of our projects bring several of these together. That means we can handle a standalone fence, a retaining wall, or a full backyard transformation that combines fencing, paving, turf, decking and planting. Whatever the scale, we tailor the scope to your property. Let us know what you are planning and we will recommend the best approach.

Fencing

Do you install fencing in Camp Hill and across Brisbane?

Yes. Green Bear Landscaping is based in Camp Hill and installs fencing right across Brisbane and South-East Queensland, including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Whether you are after a single boundary line or fencing for a larger rural property, we are happy to travel to your site, take a look at the conditions and talk through the options that suit your block. If you are not sure whether you are in our service area, give us a call and we will let you know.

What types of fencing do you build?

We install timber fencing, Colorbond fencing, pool fencing and custom designs to suit your property. Timber gives a natural, classic look, while Colorbond offers a durable, low-maintenance finish in a range of colours. Pool fencing is built to meet the relevant safety requirements, and custom designs let us match a fence to a specific style or tricky site. At your quote we will walk you through which material and style works best for your boundary, budget and the look you are after.

How does pricing work for a new fence?

Every fence is quoted individually because the price depends on the length, the material you choose, the condition of the site and whether an old fence needs removing first. We provide a clear, itemised quote after looking at your property so you know exactly what is included before any work starts. There are no surprise costs along the way. To get an accurate figure, the best step is to arrange a free on-site consultation and we will measure up and talk through your options.

Do you remove the old fence before installing the new one?

Yes, we can remove and dispose of your existing fence as part of the project. When we quote your new fence we will note whether removal is needed and include it in the scope so it is all handled in one job. Removing the old fence properly also lets us check the ground and post positions before the new fence goes in, which helps the finished result sit straight and last longer. Just let us know at the quote stage and we will take care of it.

Can you build a fence on a sloped or difficult block?

Absolutely. A lot of Brisbane properties have slopes, uneven ground or tight access, and we have built fences across plenty of challenging sites. We assess the fall of the land and decide whether to step or rake the fence so it follows the ground neatly and stays structurally sound. Difficult conditions are something we plan for at the quote stage, so there are no surprises once we start. If your block has a tricky boundary, we are happy to take a look and recommend the best approach.

How long does a fence installation take?

Most residential fences are completed within a few days, though the exact timeframe depends on the length of the fence, the material, site access and the weather. Larger or rural fence lines naturally take longer. When we provide your quote we will give you a realistic timeframe for your specific job and let you know when we can start. We work to the schedule we agree with you and keep you updated if anything changes along the way.

Do I need to be home while the fence is installed?

You do not need to be home for the whole job, but it helps to be available at the start so we can confirm the fence line, gate positions and any final details with you. Many clients are at work during the day while we get on with the installation. We will agree on access and a way to keep in touch before we begin, and we will always do a walkthrough with you at the end to make sure you are happy with the finished fence.

How do I get a quote for fencing?

Getting a quote is easy. Call us on 0413 119 558 or send an enquiry through our contact form with a few details about your property and what you have in mind. We will arrange a time to visit, measure up and talk through the material and style options in person. From there we provide a clear written quote with no obligation, so you can take your time deciding before any work is booked in.

Retaining walls

What types of retaining walls do you build?

We build timber retaining walls, concrete sleeper walls, stone retaining walls and garden edging. Each option suits different situations: timber and concrete sleepers are popular for clean, structured walls, stone gives a natural, established look, and garden edging keeps beds and levels tidy. The right choice depends on the height you need to retain, the soil and drainage on your site and the look you want. At your consultation we will recommend the material and design that best fits your block.

Do you build retaining walls across Brisbane and South-East Queensland?

Yes. We are based in Camp Hill and build retaining walls throughout Brisbane and the wider South-East Queensland region, including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Retaining walls are a core part of what we do, and we are happy to come out to your property, assess the slope and ground conditions and talk through the best way to hold and shape your levels. If you are unsure whether we cover your suburb, just get in touch and ask.

How is a retaining wall project priced?

Retaining walls are quoted individually because the cost depends on the length and height of the wall, the material, site access, drainage requirements and how much excavation is involved. After we visit your property and assess the conditions, we provide a clear written quote that sets out exactly what is included. This way you can see the full scope before committing. The most accurate way to get a price is to book a free on-site consultation with us.

Do I need council approval for a retaining wall?

Approval requirements depend on the height of the wall, its location on your property and your local council's rules, so it varies from job to job. Lower walls often do not need approval, while taller walls or walls near boundaries may. As part of planning your project we will talk through what is involved for your specific situation so you understand the process. If you have questions about approvals for your block, raise them at the quote stage and we will point you in the right direction.

How long does it take to build a retaining wall?

The timeframe depends on the size of the wall, the material, the amount of excavation and site access. A straightforward garden wall can be completed quickly, while larger structural walls take longer. Weather can also affect the schedule, especially when excavation is involved. When we quote your project we will give you a realistic timeframe and a likely start date, and we will keep you informed of progress as the work moves along.

Can a retaining wall help with drainage and erosion?

Yes. A well-built retaining wall does more than create level space; it helps control how water moves across your block and reduces soil erosion on sloping ground. Proper drainage behind the wall is an important part of the build, and we plan for it so water is directed away rather than building up pressure against the structure. If you have an area that washes out or holds water, mention it at the consultation and we will design the wall with that in mind.

Do you combine retaining walls with other landscaping?

We do. Retaining walls often go hand in hand with paving, turf, garden beds and fencing, and many of our projects bring several of these together. Handling the wall and the surrounding landscaping as one project means the levels, drainage and finishes all work together neatly. If you are planning a wider backyard transformation, let us know and we can scope the retaining wall as part of the bigger picture rather than a standalone job.

How do I arrange a site visit for a retaining wall?

Call us on 0413 119 558 or send an enquiry through the contact form with a few details about your site and what you would like to achieve. We will arrange a convenient time to visit, assess the slope, soil and drainage, and discuss the best wall type for your property. You will then receive a clear written quote with no obligation, so you can decide in your own time before booking the work in.

Landscape design & construction

What does your landscape design and construction service include?

Our landscape design and construction service covers garden and patio design, paving and concreting, turf laying and lawn installation, rendering and decking, and tree removal and pruning. It is a complete service, so we can take a backyard from concept through to a finished outdoor space. Whether you want a full transformation or just one or two elements, we tailor the scope to your property and your goals. At the consultation we will talk through what would make the biggest difference for your space.

Do you cover Camp Hill and surrounding Brisbane suburbs?

Yes. Green Bear Landscaping is based in Camp Hill and carries out landscaping projects throughout Brisbane and South-East Queensland, including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. We are happy to visit your property, look at the space and conditions and talk through ideas in person. If you are not certain whether your suburb is within our service area, give us a call and we will let you know straight away.

How does pricing work for a landscaping project?

Landscaping projects are quoted individually because the cost depends on the size of the space, the elements involved, site access, ground conditions and the materials you choose. After visiting your property and discussing what you want to achieve, we provide a clear written quote that sets out the full scope. This means you can see exactly what is included before any work begins. The best way to get an accurate figure is to book a free on-site consultation.

Can you handle both small backyards and large landscaping projects?

Yes. We work hard to bring your ideas to life whether it is a small backyard makeover or a large-scale landscaping project. A smaller job might be fresh turf and a tidy garden bed, while a larger one could combine paving, decking, retaining and planting. Whatever the scale, we apply the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. Tell us about your space and budget at the consultation and we will recommend a sensible plan.

How long does a landscaping project take?

The timeframe varies a lot depending on the scope. A single element such as turf laying can be quick, while a full landscape build involving paving, decking and planting takes longer. Weather and site access also play a part. When we provide your quote we will give you a realistic timeframe for your specific project and a likely start date, and we will keep you updated on progress through each stage of the work.

Do you lay turf and handle paving as part of a project?

Yes. Turf laying and lawn installation, along with paving and concreting, are part of our landscape construction service. These are often combined with garden design, decking or retaining work in a single project so the finished space ties together properly. Handling these elements together means the levels, drainage and finishes all line up. If you want fresh lawn, new paving or both, mention it at the consultation and we will include it in your quote.

What happens at the first consultation?

At the first consultation we visit your property, look at the space and conditions, and talk through your vision and requirements. This is your chance to share ideas, ask questions and tell us how you want to use the space. We then create a tailored design plan, bring it to life with quality craftsmanship, and finish with a final walkthrough to make sure you are happy. The consultation is free and there is no obligation to proceed.

How do I book a landscaping consultation?

Call us on 0413 119 558 or send an enquiry through our contact form with a few details about your project. We will arrange a time to visit, discuss your ideas and assess the space. From there we provide a clear written quote with no obligation, so you can take your time before deciding. Reach out to Dean and the team whenever you are ready to start planning your outdoor space.

Dean did an amazing job with our fence. I'd highly recommend him. We have a very difficult property that is hard to work on and he gave us many options that worked out better than I ever imagined. The neighbours have been commenting on how great our fence looks. It also has finally kept our dogs in! Thanks for an awesome job!
