Landscaper Garfield VIC: Design and Build on Township and Acreage Blocks

Before a machine starts cutting into your block, it is fair to want to know which landscaper is on it. Big Fella Landscapes carries $20 million in public liability cover, and its crews hold qualifications in landscape construction, concreting and carpentry. Kane Dalman started the business in 2007 and has been building through Garfield and the Cardinia Shire townships of West Gippsland since. Retaining walls, paving, concreting, decking, pergolas, instant turf, screens and planting, designed and built by the one crew. The first visit and the quote cost nothing. Ring Kane on 0412 881 728.

Who Will Be on Your Property, and What They Hold

Every worker who comes onto your place is in the Big Fella team uniform, so you can tell at a glance who belongs there.

The trade qualifications sit across landscape construction, concreting and carpentry. That is why a wall, a slab and a deck on the same property stay with one crew instead of three bookings you line up yourself. Qualified landscape gardeners, concreters and carpenters do the work, with apprentices employed alongside them, because everyone deserves a go in this industry. The deck end of that work has a page of its own: decking in Garfield.

Nothing is handed off to a subcontractor, so the people who quoted your job are the people who finish it, and everything we complete carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Nothing Is Owed Until You Accept the Quote

It starts with a call, an email or the enquiry form. We book a free on-site visit with no obligation attached, and where a weekday will not fit around your hours, we arrange one after hours.

Kane Dalman does that visit himself. He walks the property with you, works out what you want the space to do and what the ground will allow, and writes the quote from what he sees. You are not locked into that first design or that first figure. Flexibility on both is something we are known for, so if the scope shifts, say so and it gets repriced before anybody starts.

Accept it and the job gets a start date and a crew assigned to it, with Kane the one person you deal with from that first visit through to handover. The work is delivered on time and on budget.

Big Fella Landscapes: the Family Business Behind the Uniform

Kane Dalman has run Big Fella Landscapes as a family business since 2007, out of a base at Officer. Thousands of residential and commercial projects have gone through the team since then, taken on for homeowners, businesses, builders, owner-builders and developers. Our general landscaping page carries the full build range, and the credentials standing behind it.

If Your Block Runs to Acres Rather Than a Back Yard

Garfield is a compact township with lifestyle blocks spread around it, and a landscaping job on a property of a few acres rarely runs fence to fence. It does not need to. The work concentrates: the ground around the house, the approach and the driveway, the pad under a shed, and the boundary lines you actually look at. The rest stays paddock.

Working out where that edge falls is most of the design. A paved area and a deck off the back door set the size of the part you live in. Screen or windbreak planting along an exposed fence line closes it off from the road. Retaining sets the level ground the whole lot sits on. Past that line the work stops, and so does the quote.

Scale changes the practical side too. A garden bed measured in metres and a boundary run measured in tens of metres are not the same order of job, machinery has further to travel between where it can get in and where it is working, and soil, base material and turf arrive by the truckload. That is the reason a quote follows a walk over the property instead of a look at an aerial photograph. Where a build reaches the point that a permit comes into it, Cardinia Shire is the authority for Garfield, and we raise it at the visit rather than halfway through.

Get It Quoted on the Ground

Half an hour standing on the block settles more than a fortnight of emails ever will. Call Kane Dalman on 0412 881 728, or send the job details through the enquiry form and he will ring back to arrange a time that suits you.
