Our Services
Lawn Care & Maintenance
We provide detail-driven lawn care focused on keeping grass healthy, even and well-presented year-round. This includes regular mowing, precise edging, and ongoing attention to turf conditions so your lawns stay tidy and consistent rather than cycling between overgrown and scalped. Our approach is practical and routine-driven: lawns are maintained on schedule, cut properly, and left looking clean every visit. From regular mowing, to edging, we manage every aspect of your lawn with consistency and care.
Lawn Aeration
1. A healthy, vibrant lawn doesn’t happen by accident and one of the most important steps is often overlooked: aeration. At Northscape Gardening, we understand how proper lawn aeration improves soil structure, encourages deeper root growth, and keeps grass looking its best. Our professional core aeration relieves soil compaction, improves water and nutrient absorption, and restores your lawn’s natural vitality. The result is a greener, stronger lawn that enhances the overall appearance of your home.
2. A healthy, vibrant lawn depends on good soil structure, and aeration is one of the most effective ways to achieve it. At Northscape Gardening, our professional core aeration removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively. This encourages deeper root growth, improves drainage, reduces excess thatch, and supports beneficial soil microorganisms, resulting in stronger, denser turf that responds better to mowing, watering, and fertilising and stays greener under stress.
Organic-Based Lawn Care
Our organic-based lawn care focuses on steady, practical improvement rather than quick fixes. We look at the basics of your lawn such as grass type, sun exposure, and general condition-to guide how it is maintained. Seasonal applications of organic based fertiliser are used to support healthy, even growth, while soil conditioning may be carried out where appropriate to help maintain suitable pH levels. The aim is to gradually improve soil quality and lawn resilience over time, encouraging a stronger, more consistent lawn without pushing excessive growth.
Garden Maintenance
Pruning
We provide careful, considered pruning that takes into account the type of tree, its condition, and its setting. Our approach focuses on making appropriate, well-judged cuts to manage size, remove problem growth, and support the general health and structure of the tree over time. We work with both native and introduced species and aim to respect their natural growth habits, avoiding unnecessary or excessive pruning. The goal is practical, responsible tree care that balances safety, appearance, and the long-term wellbeing of the tree.
For other classes of vegetation, we carry out pruning and trimming in a practical, species-aware manner that supports healthy growth and tidy presentation without overworking the plant. This includes shrubs, hedges, climbers, groundcovers, and fruiting plants, with methods adjusted to suit their growth habits, flowering or fruiting cycles, and intended use in the landscape. We focus on maintaining shape, managing size, and removing dead or problematic growth, while avoiding heavy or untimely pruning that can stress plants. The emphasis is on steady, sensible maintenance rather than dramatic intervention.
Mulching
Mulching is a simple way to improve the health and appearance of your garden, and it’s a service we are happy to offer. We can supply and apply quality organic mulches (pine, eucy, or sugarcane / lucerne) that help retain soil moisture, reducing water usage, protect plant roots during extreme heat and cold, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and gradually improve soil structure as they break down. We take care to prepare beds properly before mulching, apply the correct depth for each garden type, and keep mulch clear of plant stems and trunks to prevent rot. The result is a healthier, more resilient garden that gives garden beds a clean, finished look.
Potting & Repotting
We provide professional potting and repotting services to keep your plants healthy, stable, and thriving. Whether it’s refreshing tired soil, upsizing root-bound plants, or re-potting feature plants for patios, balconies, entryways and outdoor areas, we select appropriate premium potting mixes and handle all plants with care. We also ensure correct drainage and positioning so your pots look good and your plants establish quickly.
Planting
We provide a complete planting service, including preparing garden beds and improving the soil before planting. This may involve removing weeds, loosening the soil, and adding compost or soil conditioners as needed. Plants are placed correctly, planted properly, mulched, and watered in to help them establish quickly. Our focus is on doing the basics well so plants have the best chance to grow strong and healthy.
Hedging
Our hedging service focuses on keeping hedges neat, manageable, and healthy through regular, sensible trimming. We work with a range of hedge plants and adjust our approach to suit their growth habits and seasonal needs, aiming to maintain shape and density without stressing the plant. Trimming is carried out to control size, improve appearance, and remove uneven or problem growth, while avoiding overly aggressive cuts. The emphasis is on consistent maintenance that helps hedges remain tidy, functional, and well-established over time.
Weed Control
Our weed control service takes a practical, targeted approach to managing unwanted plant growth. We focus on reducing the impact of weeds in lawns, garden beds, and hard surfaces using methods suited to the area and level of growth. Treatments are applied carefully and only where needed, with the aim of improving overall appearance and reducing competition with desirable plants. The emphasis is on ongoing management rather than complete eradication, helping keep weeds under control in a safe, measured, and realistic way.
Garden Bed Maintenance
Our garden-bed maintenance service focuses on keeping garden beds tidy, healthy, and manageable through regular, routine care. This includes removing spent plants and debris, light pruning where appropriate, and general upkeep to support the existing planting. We work to maintain structure and appearance without overworking the garden or disturbing established plants. The aim is consistent, practical maintenance that helps garden beds remain neat and well-kept over time.
Green Waste & Rubbish Removal
Our garden waste and rubbish removal service is carried out in line with local council requirements across Ku-ring-gai Council, Hornsby Shire Council, Willoughby City Council, and Northern Beaches Council. This means separating green waste from general rubbish where appropriate, transporting waste lawfully, and disposing of materials at approved facilities rather than through illegal dumping or improper methods. We remove both garden waste generated during our work and garden-related or general rubbish that has accumulated prior to our visit, with a focus on straightforward, compliant disposal and leaving your property clean and orderly.
Other Services
Pressure Washing
Our pressure washing service provides a practical way to clean outdoor surfaces and improve their appearance. We clean areas such as driveways, paths, paving, decks, and hard surfaces using water pressure suited to the surface being treated, avoiding unnecessary damage. The focus is on removing built-up dirt, grime, and surface growth rather than restoring surfaces to a “like new” condition. This service is intended as routine maintenance to help keep outdoor areas clean, safer to use, and well-presented.

Work is scheduled to suit the property and its usage, with an emphasis on consistency and clear communication. The aim is practical, ongoing maintenance that supports safe, well-kept common spaces for residents and visitors.
