Landscaping in the Inner West.
On call. On time. On the tools.

What we get called out for

  • Boggy yards that hold water after rain
  • Courtyards repaved and replanted
  • Lawns swapped for something that copes with shade

Clay soil and small, flat yards mean water has nowhere to go. Lawns go boggy in winter and crack in summer. Dig down in an old yard and you often hit brick, glass and old concrete. Tall fences and neighbours keep a lot of courtyards in shade.

    How often we get gardens ready to sell

This shows what's behind the calls we get in the area. It isn't a reading of your garden. Your place might be quite different, and we check the ground when we come out.

The ground round here

Soil: Heavy clay

Mostly heavy clay, often with old building rubble mixed through it.

Holds water in winter, cracks in summer. Needs drainage and opening up.

That's the broad picture across the area. Soil can change from one street to the next, and new estates can have anything under them. We check yours on the day.

Gardens we mostly see

  • Terrace courtyards
  • Small lawns
  • Brick paving
  • Raised beds

Older homes with small back gardens. Plenty of old paving, tired lawns and beds on poor soil.

Yours might be nothing like that. We look before we quote.

Cross-section of a garden. Plants sit on topsoil over subsoil. The sun comes in at an angle. Water runs through the topsoil to a drain. A buried pipe is marked with a flag before anyone digs.SUNTOPSOILSUBSOILPLANTSWATERPIPE MARKEDDRAIN
