Premium Landscaping Northern Beaches
Northern Beaches Landscaping Specialists Since 2015
Your Northern Beaches property deserves more than a tired backyard—it deserves to be the coastal entertainer’s dream you’ve always envisioned. Whether you’re looking out at a sloping block crying out for terraced entertaining levels, a patchy lawn that’s embarrassing compared to your neighbours, or outdoor spaces that simply don’t match your recently renovated interior, you’re not alone.
Since 2008, Northern Beaches Landscaping Group has been transforming premium properties from Manly to Palm Beach into low-maintenance coastal oases that increase both lifestyle quality and property value. We specialise in landscape renovation and design, retaining wall construction with drainage solutions, and ongoing maintenance programs—tailored specifically for the unique challenges of Northern Beaches properties.
Unlike general landscapers, we understand coastal conditions: salt spray tolerance, sandy soil composition, water-wise planting, and council requirements from Collaroy to Avalon. Our full-service approach means you get expert design, reliable construction, and hassle-free project management—so you can focus on enjoying your outdoor space, not managing contractors.
Servicing discerning homeowners across: Manly, Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Mona Vale, Newport, Avalon, Whale Beach, and Palm Beach.
Understanding Your Landscaping Investment
Every Northern Beaches property is unique, with its own challenges and opportunities. From basic garden refreshes to complete landscape transformations, we tailor our services to match your vision, lifestyle, and property requirements.
Our Core Services Include:
• Monthly lawn maintenance and garden care programs

Coastal properties often require specialised materials and plants suited to Northern Beaches conditions. Local council requirements, site access, and slope management also influence project scope. Every property is unique—we provide transparent, detailed quotes after your free assessment, ensuring you understand exactly what’s included and what to expect.

Why Northern Beaches Properties Require Specialist Landscaping
Not all landscapers understand the unique challenges of coastal Northern Beaches properties. The difference between a thriving coastal garden and an expensive failure often comes down to local expertise.
Understanding Northern Beaches Coastal Conditions
Salt spray from ocean winds, sandy nutrient-poor soil, exposure to harsh summer sun, and unpredictable coastal weather patterns create conditions that challenge even experienced landscapers. Plants that thrive in western Sydney simply won’t survive here. We’ve spent over 15 years mastering which species flourish in these specific microclimates—from the exposed headlands of Palm Beach to the more sheltered gardens of Manly.
Council Compliance and Stormwater Management
Northern Beaches Council has strict stormwater policies, setback requirements, and environmental protections—especially near waterways and bushland interfaces. We navigate these regulations seamlessly, handling DA applications, complying with the Northern Beaches Council Stormwater Management Policy, and ensuring your project meets all requirements. This expertise saves you months of delays and potential costly mistakes.
Plant Selection for Long-Term Success
The wrong plant choices cost Northern Beaches homeowners thousands in replacement costs. We select hardy native and exotic species proven to handle salt exposure, drought conditions, and sandy soils—creating lush, low-maintenance gardens that actually thrive year-round, not just survive.

Our Signature Landscaping Services for Premium Northern Beaches Properties
We offer three core services designed specifically for discerning Northern Beaches homeowners who demand excellence, reliability, and results that last.
Complete Landscape Design & Renovation
Transform your outdoor space into an entertainer’s paradise that increases your property value and enhances your lifestyle. Our comprehensive design service includes:
Custom landscape architecture that creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow, purpose-built entertaining zones with outdoor kitchens and fire pits, strategic privacy screening using layered coastal plantings, and water-wise garden designs featuring native and salt-tolerant species that require minimal maintenance.
We work with you from initial concept through to completion, creating 3D visualisations so you can see your transformed property before we break ground. Whether you’re preparing your home for sale or creating your forever oasis, our designs balance aesthetics, functionality, and the practical realities of coastal living.
Recent projects include a Collaroy plateau garden transformation, a Manly beach house resort-style renovation, and an Avalon coastal native garden redesign.
Retaining Walls & Drainage Solutions
Sloping blocks are common across the Northern Beaches, but they don’t have to limit your usable outdoor space or cause flooding nightmares after Sydney’s intense storms.
Our engineering-backed approach transforms challenging slopes into valuable terraced entertaining levels. We design and construct modern retaining walls using materials that suit coastal conditions—from contemporary rendered concrete to natural stone and timber sleepers. Each project includes comprehensive drainage solutions: French drains, agricultural pipes, and stormwater redirection that protect your property and comply with council requirements.
Recent success stories include a Whale Beach property where we created three usable terraces from a steep slope, adding significant property value, and a Newport garden where our drainage solution ended years of water pooling near the foundation.
We handle all council approval documentation, engineering certifications, and project management—removing the stress from complex projects.
Premium Lawn Care & Garden Maintenance Programs
Your landscape investment deserves ongoing expert care. Our “set and forget” maintenance programs keep your property looking immaculate year-round—without you lifting a finger.
Tailored specifically for Northern Beaches coastal conditions, our programs include:
Scheduled fertilisation using coastal-specific formulations, targeted weed and bindii control (we know how much bare feet hate bindiis), seasonal lawn treatments for salt damage recovery, pest and disease monitoring, garden bed maintenance and mulching, and irrigation system checks and adjustments.
We understand the unique challenges: lawns damaged by salt spray after coastal storms, gardens stressed by sandy soil and water restrictions, and seasonal growth patterns specific to this region. Our maintenance schedules are designed around these realities.
Choose from monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly service packages. Most of our premium property clients opt for our “White Glove” monthly package—ensuring their outdoor space is always guest-ready.

The Northern Beaches Landscaping Group Difference
When you’re investing significantly in your outdoor space, you need more than a landscaper—you need a reliable partner who delivers on promises.
Hassle-Free Project Management
You shouldn't have to coordinate electricians, plumbers, concreters, and multiple trades across your landscaping project. We manage everything. Our full-service approach means one point of contact, one timeline, one clear communication channel. We coordinate all trades, schedule inspections, handle council submissions, and keep you informed at every milestone—without overwhelming you with details unless you want them. Unlike smaller operators who juggle too many projects, we limit our concurrent jobs to ensure your project receives proper attention. You'll never hear "I'll get to that next week" when it should be done today.
Licensed, Insured & Accountable
We carry comprehensive public liability insurance ($20 million), hold all required NSW licenses, and provide written warranties on our workmanship. Every team member undergoes background checks and training in both safety and customer service standards. This matters when contractors are working near your pool equipment, underground utilities, or newly renovated home. We've completed over 500 Northern Beaches projects without a single insurance claim—because we do things right the first time.
Northern Beaches Specialists Since 2008
We're not Sydney landscapers who occasionally work on the Northern Beaches—this is our exclusive focus. Over 17 years, we've developed relationships with the best local suppliers, understand council officers and their requirements, and have mastered the specific horticultural challenges of this coastal region. We've transformed gardens in every suburb from Manly to Palm Beach. We know which streets have challenging soil, where drainage problems typically occur, and which council planners handle specific areas. This local knowledge saves you time, money, and frustration.

• No-obligation overview of project scope, timeline, and investment range
This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a genuine consultation where we assess whether we’re the right fit for each other. Many homeowners find value in the assessment alone, gaining clarity on their options even if they’re not ready to proceed immediately.
Our Simple 4-Step Process
1. Book Your Free Assessment Submit the form below or call us directly. We’ll schedule a convenient time within the next 7-10 days.
2. We Visit Your Property A landscape specialist (not a salesperson) conducts a thorough 60-minute assessment and discusses your vision.
3. Receive Your Custom Proposal Within 5-7 business days, we deliver a detailed quote including 3D concept designs, material specifications, project timeline, and transparent pricing breakdown.
4. Project Commencement Once approved, we schedule your project start date—typically within 8-12 weeks depending on season and complexity. We handle everything from there: council approvals, trade coordination, and communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. A garden refresh with new plants and mulching typically takes 3-5 days. Mid-range renovations with paving and garden beds take 2-4 weeks. Comprehensive landscape transformations with retaining walls, drainage, and full design work take 6-12 weeks. We provide accurate timelines in your proposal and factor in council approval times (typically 4-8 weeks for projects requiring DA). Weather and coastal conditions can occasionally cause minor delays—we communicate proactively if this occurs.
It depends on the scope. Simple garden refreshes, plant replacements, and basic paving generally don’t require approval. However, you’ll need council consent for: retaining walls over 600mm high, structures near boundaries, work affecting drainage or stormwater flow, removal of significant trees, and projects in bushfire-prone areas. We assess this during your property consultation and handle all council submissions if required. Our local knowledge of Northern Beaches Council requirements streamlines this process significantly.
Our team has over 17 years of exclusive experience working on Northern Beaches coastal properties. We hold all required NSW licenses, carry $20 million public liability insurance, and our senior landscapers have completed specialised training in coastal horticulture and salt-tolerant species. We’ve completed over 500 projects from Manly to Palm Beach, learning through experience which solutions work long-term in these specific conditions. Every team member understands coastal challenges—this isn’t theoretical knowledge, it’s practical expertise gained from years on the ground.
Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with architects, pool builders, builders, and other trades. In fact, we prefer coordinated projects because they result in better outcomes. We’ll work from your architect’s plans or coordinate timing with your pool installation to ensure landscaping complements the overall design. Our project management approach means we communicate effectively with other trades, attend coordination meetings, and adjust our schedule to align with the broader project timeline.
We provide a 12-month workmanship warranty on all construction (paving, retaining walls, drainage, etc.) and a 3-month establishment warranty on plants—provided you follow our care instructions. If plants fail due to our selection error or installation issue, we replace them at no charge. If failure results from lack of watering, extreme weather events, or factors outside our control, we replace them at cost. We’re invested in long-term success, not short-term installation. Most of our clients become long-term maintenance customers because the relationship doesn’t end when the project does.
We treat every property as if it’s our own. Before starting, we: conduct a pre-work inspection documenting existing conditions, install protective coverings on pathways and driveways, use equipment mats to prevent lawn damage, position bins strategically for waste management, and maintain a clean, organised work site daily. Our team parks on the street unless you provide specific permission otherwise. We’re respectful of neighbours, keeping reasonable hours and minimising noise where possible. At the end of each day, we clean up—not just at project completion.
Yes, and we highly recommend it. Many clients transition to our ongoing maintenance programs after their renovation is complete. This ensures your investment continues looking immaculate and plants establish properly. We offer flexible monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly maintenance packages. Our maintenance teams know your property because they’ve seen it through construction—they understand what was planted, where irrigation runs, and what specific attention your garden needs. This continuity provides far better results than hiring random gardeners who are learning your property from scratch.
The difference often reflects expertise, insurance, and reliability. Budget operators may lack proper licensing and insurance (putting you at risk), use inexperienced teams who don’t understand coastal conditions, provide vague quotes that change during the project, juggle too many jobs leading to delays, and disappear after installation when problems arise. We’re positioned as a premium service because we deliver premium results: comprehensive insurance and licensing, experienced teams specialising in coastal properties, transparent, detailed quotes, dedicated project management, and long-term support and warranties. Our clients value reliability and expertise over saving money upfront—only to spend more fixing mistakes later.
Absolutely. During your consultation, we can provide contact information for previous clients in your suburb (with their permission). Many homeowners appreciate speaking with neighbours who’ve used our services. We’re also happy to arrange property visits to see completed projects in person—seeing is believing. Additionally, our Google My Business profile features 150+ verified reviews from actual clients across the Northern Beaches. We have nothing to hide and everything to showcase.
No problem whatsoever. Your quote remains valid for 90 days—material prices fluctuate, so we honour quotes for a reasonable period. Many clients get quotes months before they’re ready to proceed, using the information for financial planning, coordinating with other renovations, or waiting for the right season. We follow up once after delivering your proposal, then leave the decision entirely to you. We never use high-pressure sales tactics. When you’re ready, we’re here. If you never proceed, we genuinely hope the consultation provided value in clarifying your options.
Your Northern Beaches Landscape Transformation Starts Here
