# Landscaping & Gardening in Singapore

Landscaping in Singapore ranges from balcony planters to landed garden makeovers and tree work. If you own landed property in a Tree Conservation Area, NParks approval is needed before felling trees with a girth above 1 metre, so check before hiring anyone to cut down a large tree.

## Prices in Singapore
Published rates from Singapore landscaping companies. The price depends on garden size, how often you need visits, and the grass or turf you choose.

| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gardener, ad-hoc visit | S$60–S$80 per hour |  |
| Garden maintenance plan, landed home | S$200–S$500 per month | Fortnightly visits |
| Grass cutting, landed home lawn | S$120–S$600 per session | From under 100 sqm to 800 sqm; off-site disposal of clippings may cost extra |
| Natural grass turfing | S$3–S$5 per sq ft | Cow grass cheapest, pearl grass dearest |
| Artificial turf installation | S$80–S$120 per sq m |  |
| Tree stump grinding | S$250–S$900 per stump | Depends on stump diameter |

## How to choose
- Ask to see completed gardens that are at least a year old, which shows whether the plant choices survive Singapore's heat and rain.
- Get maintenance costs upfront: lawns, hedges and planters need regular trimming, fertilising and pest control.
- For large trees, use an arborist and confirm whether NParks approval is required before any felling or heavy pruning.
- Plan drainage carefully. Poor drainage leads to waterlogging and mosquito breeding, which NEA can penalise.
- Check if irrigation, lighting and hardscape (decking, paving) are included or quoted separately.

## Red flags
- Offers to cut down large trees without mentioning NParks rules.
- No maintenance plan for newly planted gardens.
- Designs that leave stagnant water in planters, trays or ponds.

## FAQs
### Do I need approval to cut down a tree in my landed property?
If your property is in a Tree Conservation Area or on vacant land, felling a tree with a girth of more than 1 metre (measured 0.5m above ground) requires NParks approval under the Parks and Trees Act. Check with NParks before engaging a contractor, as unauthorised felling can lead to fines.

### How do I prevent mosquitoes in my garden?
Remove stagnant water weekly from plant pot plates, trays, roof gutters and containers, and keep drains clear. Breeding mosquitoes in your premises is an offence, and NEA inspects homes during dengue outbreaks. Ponds and water features should be designed with fish or circulation so water does not stagnate.

### Can I do landscaping on my HDB corridor or balcony?
Balconies within your flat can hold plants, but keep pot plates dry to avoid mosquito breeding and make sure planters and pots are secured so nothing can fall. For common corridors, check your Town Council's rules before placing plants, as items must not obstruct passage.
