The Full 10-Step Landscape Build, From Site Survey to Finished Turf — Backyard Roo Perth
The spatial layout blueprint
Surveyors accurately map out property setback lines, grade requirements, and drainage networks onto the raw field mapping grid.
Equipment: Transit level Est. time: Day 1
Bulk demolition and clearance
Heavy mechanical assets systematically strip away dead organic matter, roots, and failing pre-existing landscape frameworks.
Equipment: Skid steer / mini-excavator Est. time: Day 2-3
Sub-grade mass levelling
The field is precisely rough-graded to secure structured slope angles, mitigating risk of pooling near house foundations.
Equipment: Compact crawler loader Est. time: Day 4
Utilities and drainage systems
Trenching out lines for automated irrigation headers and laying high-durability PVC conduit paths for low-voltage night lighting.
Equipment: Trencher / hand tools Est. time: Day 5-6
Retaining wall grid assembly
Stonemasons stack mortarless interlocking block lines to retain terraced soil heights and create stable horizontal zones.
Equipment: Laser alignment guide Est. time: Day 7-9
Aggregate base compaction
Crushed stone aggregate is laid down and machine-vibrated, building an unyielding, frost-heave-resistant layer for future stone flags.
Equipment: Heavy plate compactor Est. time: Day 10
Precision paver placement
Artisans position architectural stones or modular paving grids individually, managing tight joint spacing parameters.
Equipment: Diamond-blade wet saw Est. time: Day 11-13
Soil nourishment and specimen staging
Tilling nutrient-rich topsoil amendments into planting beds while placing featured evergreen screens and shade trees.
Equipment: Hydraulic auger / rotary tiller Est. time: Day 14
Turf install and mulching
Premium instant turf is rolled, butt-jointed and rolled flat, while garden beds receive an even mulch layer for moisture retention and a clean finished edge.
Equipment: Turf roller / mulch spreader Est. time: Day 15
Final walkthrough and handover
Irrigation and lighting systems are tested end to end, the site is detailed and cleared of all debris, and we walk the finished landscape with you before handover.
Equipment: Site inspection checklist Est. time: Day 16
