Landscaping North Sydney — Minutes from Our Base
North Sydney is unlike any other suburb we work in — a busy commercial CBD wrapped around residential pockets in Wollstonecraft, McMahons Point, Waverton and Crows Nest. That means our work here spans everything from strata and apartment courtyards and presentable commercial frontages to the gardens of heritage cottages and elevated harbour-view homes. With our base just minutes away in Neutral Bay, we know these streets intimately.
We design and build courtyard gardens, rooftop and podium plantings with proper drainage and weight-rated systems, and harbour-view terracing on the steeper blocks. Working locally, we know North Sydney Council's Tree Preservation Order, its Heritage Conservation Areas, and the salt-laden harbour breeze that dictates which plants will actually thrive — and we build that knowledge into every design.

Landscaping in North Sydney — FAQs
North Sydney landscaping projects typically range from $8,000 for courtyard and front-garden makeovers to $120,000+ for complete property transformations. Because the area mixes apartments, strata blocks, heritage homes and commercial frontages, many jobs centre on courtyard gardens, podium and rooftop planting, screening, paving and harbour-view terracing where space is tight. We provide free, detailed quotes after an on-site consultation.
Yes — we're based just minutes away in Neutral Bay, so North Sydney is practically on our doorstep. We work across the suburb constantly, from the CBD's strata and commercial gardens to the residential pockets of Wollstonecraft, McMahons Point and Waverton. Being this close means faster site visits, reliable scheduling and a genuine understanding of North Sydney's blocks, soils and harbour aspect.
North Sydney falls under North Sydney Council, which has specific controls for retaining walls over 600mm, tree removal under its Tree Preservation Order, and works in Heritage Conservation Areas that cover much of the suburb. We handle the necessary DA submissions, tree applications and heritage compliance as part of our service so your project stays fully compliant.
North Sydney's high proportion of strata and apartment buildings suits low-maintenance courtyard gardens, podium and rooftop planting with proper drainage and weight-rated systems, and privacy screening between neighbouring units. Heritage homes benefit from sympathetic design that respects original character, while commercial frontages need hardy, presentable planting. On sloping blocks we use harbour-view terracing to make the most of the outlook.
Yes. Many of our North Sydney clients — including strata managers and commercial property owners — move onto our garden maintenance program once their landscaping is complete, so their investment is protected with regular professional care.
