Local conditions

Old gardens, big trees, a lot of shade

North Shore gardens are generally older and more established than the rest of Sydney, and that brings its own set of problems. Mature trees throw a lot of shade, so lawn struggles in patches and nothing much wants to grow underneath them.

The soil tends towards clay, which holds water instead of draining it, and plenty of blocks slope away from the house. Both make drainage and bed preparation more important than they would be on flatter, sandier ground.

There is also a lot of hedging up here. Formal boundaries, screening between neighbours, and hedges tall enough that keeping them square is a job in itself.

What comes up most

Jobs we do a lot of over here

  • Tall hedges kept square and at height
  • Pruning shrubs and small trees back off the house
  • Thin, patchy lawn in shade under mature trees
  • Leaf litter clean ups through autumn
  • Soil improvement in heavy clay beds
  • Replanting shaded beds with something that will actually grow

A lot of North Shore properties are on a regular schedule, because an established garden left alone for a season takes real work to bring back. Fortnightly suits most of them.
