I highly recommend Lachlan and the team at Sydney Gardeners. Not only do they do great work, but more importantly they are reliable! Lachlan was also more than happy to help me out when I needed an extra service squeezed in just before Xmas.
Lachlan and his team have been looking after my Strata Property for over 2 years now. He is diligent with his timekeeping, punctual, provides attention to detail and does not hesitate to go above and beyond to provide satisfaction to our strata residents and property management team.
Great communication and exceptional workmanship. The team arrived on time and did an amazing job with pruning, planting, and lawn care.
I'm very happy with Lachlan and his team at Sydney Gardeners. They did a professional, clean and well-rounded job. I would highly recommend their work.
Been getting great service and value from Sydney gardeners now for a number of years, always great high quality work in my feature gardens. Attention to detail is second to none. No job to big for these boys to tackle.
How it works
Four steps to a great garden
Assess
We visit your North Sydney property, look at the garden's condition, access and what needs attention. The visit is free.
Fixed quote
A written price before we start. Regular maintenance works out cheaper per visit than one-off catch-ups.
Maintain & tidy
Our team arrives with all tools and equipment, ready for any garden maintenance job — hedges, lawns, weeds and more.
Clean up & recycle
We leave your place tidier than we found it. All green waste is removed and recycled rather than landfilled.

Spring
Growth season — stay ahead of it
- Deep hedge trim before the growth surge
- Fresh mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture
- Soil conditioning and fertiliser application
- Dead-heading and shaping for summer blooms
- First full lawn mow of the season with edging
Tip: Book fortnightly visits from September — gardens in Cremorne and Neutral Bay grow fast once the soil warms.
Before we quote
How do we get to your garden?
North Sydney gardens are rarely a straight walk from the kerb. Stairs, skinny side gates, security doors and shared driveways change how a job is done far more than the size of the garden does — so this is the first thing we look at. Tap what your place is like.
Tap your access — the answer changes
Stairs from the street
Everything comes in on someone's shoulder
Half of North Sydney sits above or below its own street, and the gear has to make the climb twice — once in, once out with the waste. We bring walk-behind and hand tools, bag the clippings at the top of the job and relay them down to the ute. It works fine; it just isn't the same job as a flat block, so we quote the stairs honestly instead of discovering them on day one.
- Hand-carry gear
- Bagged green waste
- Allow extra time
Tell us roughly how many steps when you call — it's the single biggest thing we can't see from a photo.
The gate measurement worth taking now
Before any gardener quotes you, put a tape across the narrowest point of your side access. Under about 700 mm and the bigger mowers and catchers stay on the truck for good — which is fine, as long as everyone knows it before the quote rather than after.
Local knowledge
What's actually under a North Sydney garden
Gardens here behave the way they do because of what's under them: a ridge of Hawkesbury sandstone with a thin skin of soil over the top, cut into terraces by whoever built the place. Once you can see it in cross-section, the watering, the mulch and the terrace walls all start making sense.

Lachlan and his team were fantastic. They were professional and did the job in a timely manner. He gave me some great insights on how we could develop our business garden.

Why we are the best
North Sydney garden maintenance experts
We are a well-established business with plenty of experience in the gardening industry. Sydney Gardeners offers professional and prompt service throughout all of Sydney, from the Northern Beaches and CBD to the Upper and Lower North Shore, Inner Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs and all of Sydney.
Hedge trimming services
Our hedge trimming gardening services are second to none. The team can reach any height — we have scaffolding for tall hedges. In North Sydney, hedges between buildings are used for privacy and screening, so keeping them well maintained is important. We know how much each hedge needs trimming at different seasons.
Before anyone starts cutting
Established trees around North Sydney are protected — removal and heavy pruning generally need council approval, with exemptions for some species and for minor trimming. We'll tell you which side of that line your job sits on before we start, and what an application would involve if you want the tree gone.
Mulching and weeding
Mulching and weeding is another important service we offer in North Sydney. Staying on top of weeds can be hard, especially during the growing season. Understanding when to top up mulch and how often to weed is why Sydney Gardeners are the best at garden maintenance in North Sydney.
Gardens in North Sydney can grow quite quickly, especially during the summer months. Regular maintenance keeps them under control and costs less per visit.
General plant and garden maintenance
Plant and garden maintenance is another aspect our team manages. Understanding how to manage different plant species and maintain a garden all year in North Sydney is essential whether you need a regular gardener or a one-off garden clean-up.

Questions
Garden maintenance questions, answered
How much does garden maintenance cost in North Sydney?
Garden maintenance in North Sydney is typically charged by the hour or as a fixed quote per visit. Rates depend on garden size, condition and the work required. We provide a fixed written quote before starting any job so there are no surprises.
How often should I get garden maintenance?
For most North Sydney gardens, fortnightly or monthly maintenance keeps things under control. Fast-growing gardens in spring and summer may need more frequent visits, while slower periods in winter can stretch to every 4–6 weeks.
Do you provide one-off garden clean-ups in North Sydney?
Yes. If your garden has become overgrown or you need a tidy-up before a sale or event, we provide one-off garden clean-ups anywhere in North Sydney with all equipment and full waste removal included.
What areas of North Sydney do you cover?
We cover all of North Sydney including Crows Nest, Waverton, Wollstonecraft, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Cammeray, Naremburn, St Leonards and surrounding suburbs.
Do you take away garden waste?
Yes. Every job includes full clean-up and green waste removal. We recycle green waste rather than sending it to landfill.
My place is up a flight of stairs — can you still do it?
Yes. A lot of North Sydney is up or down a staircase, so carrying gear in and green waste out is normal for us. Let us know roughly how many steps there are when you call, because it affects how long the visit takes and we'd rather price it properly than surprise you.
Do I need council approval to prune or remove a tree?
Often, yes. Established trees in the North Sydney area are protected, and removal or heavy pruning usually needs council approval, though minor trimming and certain species can be exempt. We'll tell you what can be done straight away and what needs an application or an arborist report before we touch it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Sydney Gardeners is fully insured for public liability and workers compensation, giving you peace of mind on every job.
