“Our retic had been limping along for years. They mapped the whole system, found two broken solenoids and reprogrammed it around our watering days.”

A Perth landscaping crew, not a call centre
Twelve years, 480 gardens, and the same simple promise: a fixed price, dates we keep, and a garden built for this climate.

Our story
Started with a ute, a trailer and a lot of Perth sand
Dawson Landscaping started in 2014 doing turf and retic in the northern suburbs. What kept the phone ringing was not clever marketing — it was turning up when we said we would and telling people the truth about what their block needed.
Twelve years on we run two crews and take on everything from a front-garden refresh to a full backyard build with retaining, paving, a deck and planting. We still only run one major build at a time, because splitting a crew across three jobs is how projects drift by a month.
We are licensed, insured and comfortable with the paperwork side — engineering for retaining walls, building approvals for patios, Water Corporation exemptions for new lawns. That is our job, not yours.

How we work
What you get with Dawson
Fixed prices, in writing
Every quote is itemised and fixed. If we miss something in our own scope, that is our cost, not a variation.
Dates we actually keep
You get a start date and a finish date in writing. We run one major build at a time so the crew is not split across three jobs.
Waterwise by default
Dripline under mulch, soil improvement, and controllers programmed to your roster days — designed to look good on two waterings a week.
Licensed and insured
$20m public liability, fully insured crew, and every retaining wall over 500mm engineered and council approved.

Reviews
What clients say
“The photo report after each maintenance visit is such a small thing but we love it. We always know what has been done.”
Sophie L.Subiaco · Fortnightly care plan
“Fixed price, fixed dates, and they cleaned the site every afternoon. With two small kids that mattered more than we expected.”
