What we get called out for

Three kinds of job, one suburb

Epping has changed a lot. There are still plenty of established houses with deep back gardens and big old trees, and there is now a dense band of townhouses and apartments through the middle of the suburb. Those are three very different jobs, so we price and plan them differently.

Established back gardens

Older blocks in the quieter streets usually come to us tired rather than broken: lawn thinning under tree cover, beds that have gone to weed, and edging that has disappeared. These are staged jobs. We clear and prune first so you can actually see the space, then rebuild the beds, levels and lawn.

Courtyards, terraces and common areas

Around the station there are townhouses and unit blocks with small paved courtyards and shared garden strips. The work is finer and the access is the hard part. We size materials to fit through a gate or a lift, and we keep the common areas usable while the job runs.

Blocks that fall away at the back

Where the ground drops off behind the house, the lawn you want is not possible until the ground is held. We build the retaining first, backfill and drain it properly, then put the turf, paving or beds on top of something that will not move in a wet summer.

What we do here

Our landscaping and garden services in Epping

Most Epping jobs combine two or three of these. Tell us what you want the finished garden to do and we will work out the order the trades need to run in.

Paving in Epping

Entertaining areas, paths and front entries laid on a proper base so they do not sink or shift. On the narrower Epping frontages we set out the cuts first, because a path that misses the door line by a hundred millimetres is obvious for the life of the paving.

Retaining walls in Epping

Sleeper, block and masonry walls that hold a sloping Epping block and create a flat, usable terrace. Every wall we build gets drainage behind it, which is the part that decides whether a wall lasts or bulges after a few wet seasons.

More on our retaining walls

Turf laying in Epping

New lawn over prepared and levelled soil, with a turf variety chosen for how much sun the space actually gets. A lot of Epping back gardens sit under mature canopy, so a shade-tolerant turf will outlive a bargain roll of something that needs full sun.

How we lay new turf

Tree lopping and removal in Epping

Taking down a tree that has outgrown its spot, or clearing one that has failed. Epping has a lot of large established trees, so this is the service most likely to need council approval first. We will tell you before we quote whether your tree looks like it needs it.

About our tree lopping work

Hedge trimming in Epping

Front screens, boundary hedges and formal shapes cut back to a clean line. Hedges along an Epping driveway or a shared path need a tighter face than a back garden hedge, so we cut them to the line that keeps the access clear.

How we trim hedges

Mulching in Epping

Fresh mulch at the right depth to hold moisture through summer and keep weed growth down. Under established Epping trees we keep mulch clear of trunks and surface roots rather than piling it up against them, which is where a lot of mulching jobs go wrong.

What our mulching involves

Weeding in Epping

Clearing beds, paths, paving joints and gravel back to a clean finish, roots included. A garden that has been left over a wet Sydney summer usually needs one heavy clear-out before any planting or mulching is worth doing, and we quote that as its own stage.

The local details that change a quote

Two gardens the same size in Epping can be very different jobs once you look at the trees, the access and the ground. These are the things we check on site before we put a number on anything.

  • Tree approvals. The City of Parramatta controls the removal and heavy pruning of many established trees. If your job looks like it needs approval, we will say so before we quote rather than after we arrive.
  • Access. Narrow side paths, shared driveways and rear blocks decide whether we can bring a machine in. Where we cannot, the work is done by hand and barrow and the quote reflects that honestly.
  • Shade and soil. Mature canopy over a back garden changes what will actually grow. We pick turf and plants for the light the space gets, not for the photo.
  • Drainage. On sloping blocks, water has to go somewhere. Falls, drains and wall backfill get sorted as part of the build rather than left as a problem for the next wet month.
  • Strata and shared areas. For unit blocks and townhouses we work to the hours and access rules of the building and keep paths and entries clear while the job runs.

How it runs

From first call to finished garden

Three steps, no surprise invoices. You will know the price and the scope before any tool comes out of the ute.

  1. Tell us what you want

    Call us or send through the form with a couple of photos of the space. That is usually enough for us to tell you what is involved and roughly where the budget will land.

  2. Free on-site quote

    We come out to the property in Epping, check the access, trees, levels and soil, then put a fixed written price in front of you with the stages set out.

  3. Build and clean up

    One team runs the job from start to finish. Waste goes with us, the site is swept down at the end of each day, and we walk the finished garden with you before we leave.

Epping questions

What Epping homeowners ask us

Do you cover all of Epping, including North Epping?

Yes. We work across the whole of Epping 2121 and North Epping, and across the neighbouring suburbs of Beecroft, Cheltenham, Carlingford, Marsfield and Eastwood. There is no travel surcharge for anywhere in the City of Parramatta.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Epping?

Often, yes. The City of Parramatta controls the removal and significant pruning of many established trees, and Epping has a lot of them. Some small or exempt species can be done without it. We check the tree when we quote and tell you plainly whether it looks like an approval job before any work is booked in.

Can you work on a townhouse or unit courtyard in Epping?

Yes, and a good share of our Epping work is exactly that. Small courtyards, balconies with planters, shared garden strips and common areas around the town centre. We work to the building's access hours, bring materials in at a size that fits the gate or lift, and keep entries and paths clear while the job runs.

How much does landscaping cost in Epping?

It depends far more on access and ground conditions than on suburb. A tidy-up, mulch and fresh turf on an open block is a very different number to a retaining wall on a slope with no side access. That is why the on-site quote is free and the price we give you is fixed in writing before we start.

How do you get materials and waste in and out on a tight block?

By hand and barrow where machinery cannot fit, which is common on the older Epping blocks and on anything with a rear or shared driveway. We protect the route in, keep the footpath clear, and take all green waste, old turf and broken material with us when we go.

How soon can you get out to quote?

Call 0451 267 287 or send the form and we will book the earliest on-site time that suits you. If you include a few photos of the space, we can usually give you a rough budget range over the phone before we come out.
